    Hudson has achieved the unthinkable and created an original and entertaining Japanese developed FPS which comes as a great surprise. This is a must-download for fans of the FPS genre.

    Onslaught is a real deal, particularly if you are looking for the Online component. It's fun, it's complete, and even if it could be something more, I this is a game capable of filling the measures. Ended the search for those seeking a good FPS.

    Onslaught is a peculiar game: even if it looks like a First Person Shooter, the kind of the action and the enemy routines recall the scrolling shooter of the 80’s. Even the “Perfect Score” philosophy and the outstanding difficulty remind of an “old style” game. The price of the download is not that high, and the multiplayer mode sustain a discrete replay value. Perfect for those who love challenging games and for the Wii owners that suffer for shooters lack.

    It's good value if you just want to spend the afternoon mindlessly shooting cannon fodder. Don't expect anything different, though. [May 2009, p.77]

    I'm giving this game a 9/10 as a rating amongst wiiware games.

    This game is amazing value for only 1000 wii points. Something like thi    s would usually go for 1500 wii points. At first I wasn't sure if I had made the right purchase but after giving it an hour I was hooked. The gameplay is pretty linear compared with most fps but it has an arcade like doom/quake style to it. Critical hits and racking up points makes it addictive. Online is heaps fun too! Co-op works very well. There is no deathmatch between players but based on the nature of this game I can… Expand

    Onslaught is actually a pretty good game for it's price. Pros include the variety of guns, the ability to throw grenades, ability to get in vehicles, online rankings, decent graphics, good soundtrack, and great controls. Cons include short single player mode (about 6 hours), and the fact that it doesn't live up to games like Metroid or Red Steel 2. If you don't want to spend $50 on an amazing FPS, then why not spend $10 on a great one?… Expand

    Para ser concreto y directo, el título promete bastante hasta el momento en que empieza. De ahí en adelante uno tiene, en promedio, entre 20' y 90' antes de aburrirse (dependiendo de cada uno), para finalmente cerrarlo e ir a jugar con la licuadora.… Expand

    A terrible first person shooter with no redeeming value for wii about massacring giant mutant bugs on an alien planet... ya that pretty much sums it up.… Expand
