Spyborgs reminded me a lot of classic SNES brawlers such as Battletoads and Double Dragon when I tried the game out at Capcom’s E3 booth. Everything is in 3D but you’ll always be moving on a 2D plain either horizontally or vertically depending on the level.

Spyborgs supports two player co-op on the Wii and I played the game with Dale Hoofin’ North. The first level we played on was a train stage and we had to fight some baddies on top of the moving train. I was playing as the ninja girl while Dale was the gorilla robot. More often than not, I would lose myself due to all the carnage taking place on the screen. The same thing would happen to Dale when he became the ninja girl and I picked the gorilla robot. It’s simple to keep track of the gorilla robot as it’s massive but the girl just kept blending in with enemies.

More after the break.
