Awesomenauts (XBLA): "Like The Saturday Morning Cartoons Of Old"

In the video game marketplace of today there are clones of games, sequels, prequels, and blatant knock offs. Finding something as original as 'Awesomenauts' is gradually becoming a rare occurrence. It's a truly sad situation to say the least, and one that needs to be remedied if the video game marketplace is to survive the long haul. The good news though is that there are still developers out there like 'Ronimo Games (Awesomenauts)' who strive to bring something new to the table. It's definitely a good thing ...

By now most of you have either watched the trailer of 'Awesomenauts', or purchased the game. I was a little late getting in on the action, and getting my review posted though. I have to say that my first impressions of 'Awesomenauts' were a little mixed. I didn't want to dive head first into a game that I knew little about, but the game had a fun look to it that I couldn't shake off. When I had first watched the 'Awesomenauts' trailer I was like "WOW!". It reminded me of the Saturday morning cartoons I used to watch back in the 90's. The cartoonish style, and the catchy theme song really caught, and held my attention. To be honest though I did not know what to expect from the game. After viewing the trailer It looked like some sort of adventure platformer with co-op features. When I finally got around to doing my playthrough I found out otherwise. As you will find out with my following review this is definitely not a bad thing.
