Review: Crossfire 2 (SpawnKill.com)
If you’ve been paying any attention to the Xbox Live “Indie Games Winter Uprising” showcase, then you’ve probably noticed that a majority of the games are a take on titles and/or genres from the past. Crossfire 2 is no exception, and yet it plays like a new game should, offering something new and exciting over it’s predecessor and the game it was modeled after. So while the Crossfire series may play like a Space Invaders clone on steroids, Crossfire 2 offers enough innovation to avoid labeling itself a ripoff. The question is, does Crossfire 2 defend against the ever invading indie/clone pitfalls so many other shmups seem to run into, or does it crash and burn like the rest?
