Summary
In the single player mission a meteor has crashed into the Earth. The largest single impact on the earth in a millennium is being investigated by the government at a special research facility (C.O.R.E) built alongside impact site. For 20 years the scientists have been drilling into the Earth trying to reach the centre of the meteor and unlock its secrets. Just recently a news blackout was declared for the site and rumours started of an incredible find. Suddenly all communication with the base was lost. With no information on what might have happened and a new strange radiation emanating from the site a special forces team is needed to investigate, your mission as part of that team is to find the answers. 20 different enemies ranging from insane marines and mad scientists to big deadly mutants. A plethora of secret rooms and special quests. Choose among 8 types of weapons, including: blaster, shotgun, plasma gun or rocket launcher. Alternative firing modes for some weapons. 10 different multiplayer arenas. Capture the flag, team arena and death match. Up to 4 player multiplayer. [NoWay Studio]

GameZone
C.O.R.E. is a bumpy trip down memory lane, an unrefined copy of seminal shooters from decades passed. It’s nostalgic, but it also feels anachronistic, a decent-but-outdated FPS that feels too old-fashioned for its own good.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
An impressive feat, yet still a genre better represented elsewhere. [June 2009, p.90]
Worth Playing
You could definitely pass up C.O.R.E., and while I like the idea of someone at least trying to put out a genre title that doesn't typically get made on the NDS, I also feel that C.O.R.E. is an example of why FPSes don't make the transition well to the DS.

Boredom and frustration sets in pretty early, though multiplayer is worth exploring.
Read Full Review >Gamer Limit
C.O.R.E. borrows a lot of mechanics from other first person shooters, and brings a whole lot of issues along for the ride.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
We’ve seen some competent shooters on the DS in the past, but C.O.R.E. barely fits the “competent” category. It works (more or less), and some will enjoy it, but its flaws are just too frustrating. With several other, better FPSes already on the DS, there just isn't much reason to go for C.O.R.E.
Read Full Review >Kombo
It is passable if you want to relish the glory days of the FPS when there weren't much in the way of frills and experience systems.
Read Full Review >Game Chronicles
So in the end C.O.R.E. is decent. If the controls scheme was better it would have been a lot more enjoyable. For the most part it is a system of trial and error, as I became Swiss cheese for more times that I can remember.
Read Full Review >Digital Chumps
The game's visuals are on par with other DS FPS titles out there and 1-4 player wireless download play is a nice addition for any DS game. However, this game really has nothing more to get excited about as the dark and unrefined level design, dull A.I., and flawed weapons make the game difficult to enjoy.
Read Full Review >NintendoWorldReport
There’s no reason to spend your pennies on CORE when several other, far superior, DS first-person shooters are sitting right next to it, like Call of Duty 4 and Moon.
Read Full Review >Gamers' Temple
C.O.R.E. is simply not worth your time or money. There are far better shooters out there, even on the DS.
Read Full Review >GameShark
With outdated graphics, frustrating level design, and arduous controls, C.O.R.E. has only one positive quality: It isn't broken. It fits into your DS and, as a piece of software, functions smoothly. If you want more from a game, look elsewhere. C.O.R.E. isn't the only FPS on the block.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
C.O.R.E. is the kind of low budget crud that would be sold in drugstores, hastily bought by an uncaring relative to pass on as a birthday gift to a poor, unsuspecting gamer. At least that plastic Transformers knockoff can serve as a chew toy for pets or a test dummy for firecrackers.

me u gave it a10:
Both this and the previous user vote need to be cancelled out. The game isn't coming out until 8/11/09 so there's no way they could have actually yet played it to review. Thanks!
