A pretty good FPS for anyone tired of Metroid Prime Hunters.
The FPS genre is one of the most ignored genres on the DS. But if you've played the hell out of Metroid Prime Hunters, GERA is another good game to get your FPS fix on the DS. In case you've never played the console version, Rouge Agent puts you in the shoes of Goldeneye, an MI6 agent who has been banished from the agency to due reckless brutality. The first mission lets you work for MI6, but after your expeled, you join Goldfinger who is involved in a gangwar with Dr. No. You spend the game blasting No's goons to pieces, destroying stuff, and, uuhh, that's about it. While that might sound boring, the game is still pretty fun. Most of the levels involve getting to the end of the level, and occasionally blowing something up, or killing a certain dude. The levels take place in a variety of locations such as - Goldfinger's hideout in the Swiss Alps, a Las Vegas hotel, and the rooftops of Hong Kong skyscapers. The music is simple techno music, that has an old-school vibe to it, making it enjoyable in terms. GERA has a variety of weapons including pistols, machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, grenades, ect. But there are a few unique weapons such as a venom injector which stuns thugs, as well as the Mk. 2 detonater, a pistol that shoots bullets which can be detonated, and creates a big explosion. The downside of all these weapons is that there's only one kind of each weapon. One pistol (not counting your default handgun), one smg, one shotgun, and so on. GERA is a fairly short game, you can beat it on easy in about an hour and a half. The game's hard mode is quite challenging, and if you do beat it, you unlock a mode where if you die, you have to restart the entire mission over again. There are quite a few multiplayer options for Rouge Agent, you can go up to 8 players over download play, but you can only play one character, and there's only one map. You can also do four player over multi card play, featuring more characters, maps, weapons, and settings. You can also play deathmatch by yourself against bots, the best part is that you can pick what weapons you start with. So you can start with a mini-gun or rocket-launcher, while the guards only have pistols. Overall, Goldeneye Rouge Agent is a good shooter for anyone who's sick of Hunters, and is just looking for a simple, yet fun time.
