A Shell of Its Former Self
Re-Shelled's source material is left better as a memory that you never revisit in anything other than in the confines of your own thoughts. If you come from the arcade then you will get just that but with far less memorable graphics and an utter realization that this game that was once a classic, no longer holds a torch to today's games in terms of relevancy or even fun factor. Personally, I only enjoyed the game on the SNES with a bunch of my friends when I was younger. It was an awesome game then and it felt much longer than this version.
Hell I played the game with my girlfriend who plays very few games and even she found it to be far too easy and not very fun. We beat the game in about 45 minutes from start to finish.
The game features a graphic overhaul that brings the game into the 3rd dimension! Other than this, there is not much here. I noticed there was a continue "feature" for single-player but I think of it more as a joke than anything else; you'll complete this game far before you know it.
Any way you slice this pizza pie it comes out a disappointment that will leave you shell shocked; moreover, you'll find little reprieve from the fact you just spent 10 bucks on a game that results in little more than pressing 1 button for 45 minutes.
