Gyrostarr Image
  • Summary: [WiiWare] Gyrostarr challenges you and up to three additional players to pilot your ships through a series of twisting, turning technoplasma tracks while battling a variety of deadly alien foes at ever-increasing speeds. While fighting and maneuvering, you must collect enough energy to activate the ancient warpgate at the end of each track. Succeed, and you can journey to the next, even deadlier track. Fail, and the gate will slam shut, destroying your ship. Enhance your ship with weapon pickups, coordinate attacks with your friends to fire powerful combined blasts and use your grapple to snag energy and pickups in the midst of combat. Control your ship with the Wii Remote controller, Nunchuk controller or Classic Controller, or use the "paired" control system that allows two players to use a connected Wii Remote and Nunchuk or Classic Controller at the same time. Offering 50 levels of intense action, powerful pickups, high-speed bonus levels and mayhem for up to four players, Gyrostarr is a killer arcade challenge. [Nintendo] Expand

  1. This is the kind of game that makes Wiiware a worthwhile feature, and shows that good hardcore games can be made for the system in any size.

    There usually isn't enough enemy fodder to go around, as the game is inherently simpler than we'd want.
  3. Shoot, swerve, shoot, swerve. In space, no one can hear you snore. [Oct 2008, p.84]

    Gyrostarr is one of those throw-back shooters that reminds me of a combination of Star Wars arcade and Tempest. Not only are these the most fun games IMO, this one is the best I've seen on the Wii so far. Multiplayer is an absolute blast! If you are looking for a fun diversion with your friends or siblings, congratulations, you have found it. Let's hope and pray that Wiiware keeps pumping out gems like this one! Expand

    It's a little rough around the edges, and it's a little easy at first (it doesn't really get intense until around level 20), but once it gets going, it's got a good old-school feeling to it where you sort of zone out & just react to the colorful enemies & explosions. Expand
