Splatoon is Nintendo's custom made shooting game, and its alot of fun! You can customize the playable characters, the Inklings down to gender,clothing,and weapons. So this game is basically about shooting turf or enemies with ink instead of bullets. You refill your ink by turning into a squid and moving in ink thats your color. If you move in ink thats not yours you'll be immobilized then get splatted.
Splatoon looks and sounds great. From the first time you play you feel like your in a gaming community. Theres tons to do, especially online. I still havent gotten to level 10 yet but you can play turf war at lower levels to gain experience points. The more turf you get the more of a reward you get. If you win you get even more. They even give you a little squid minigame to play while you wait in a lobby.
Offline multiplayer isnt as fun...its a 2 on 2 affair...instead of 4vs4 like online. However, the single player campaign helps you hone your skills and get better. Its really challenging at points.
Splatoon is a fun game, but its not perfect. You can't swap weapons after a match online without exiting the lobby. The controls take some getting used to but they are fluid. We've got a great new game from Nintendo. Pick it up if you have a Wii U.
