"Tango Fiesta"


"Tango Fiesta"
Tango Fiesta is a nod to classic over the top shooters like "Commando" and "Ikari Warriors" on the NES. It starts out just as fun, and it is even more in depth. It is loaded with a ton of different weapons ranging from flame throwers, freeze guns, shotties, and assault rifles. There are also a wide range of explosives, and different characters even one that is a tribute to Robocop. Your objective is to take out objectives in areas that are full of enemies. It is either shut down a satellite tower, destroy a chopper, or blow up a enemy base.
It is a lot of fun to play with friends in couch coop. if your good teammates and can stick together. At the end of each level is a boss. each level , and boss are unique. I really got into this game, had a blast. Everything about it is just a delight, and enjoyable until the the last level.The final level really just kills all the fun in the game. Started experiencing ton of issues on it from freezing, to even losing file saves, and having to start over to try and recover your save. After that level it just doesn't work right, and when you can get it to the level becomes nearly impossible. They introduce a enemy that chases you around the map, while shooting exploding heat sinking bombs at you. Most the time if you happen to shoot it down, it still does damage to you. You cant use objects to bounce it off of, because it magically goes through walls. With that , and tons of stronger enemies even ones that shoot heat sinking missiles it all just becomes to much, and not as much fun. I hate to see a entire game ruined by one level, but it happens here. I have read numerous reviews, and talked to people that all shared the same view on it. That really sucks, because it is a really fun game to play alone , and with friends. Knowing you more than likely won't complete it alone though, or with your buds really ruins it and makes you question rather or not you want to play it with them , or just play something else. If you don't care about completing games, and just want to burn a few hours It is certainly worth the time.
The look is really retro, as well as the sounds. The music actually reminds me of several 80s songs, and it adds to the fun a lot as well. The shop, and Arnold impersonator's voice as you buy weapons and scroll over them is hilarious. Everything about this game is just a blast, and I had a good time, and was impressed early. Like i said though a few hiccups, and over difficult ending really zaps the fun out of it, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Pros: Music and sounds are really cool
Tons of fun in Coop
Impressive amount of weapons
Tons of enemies to blast through
Cons: Over difficult game finale, full of bugs.
Overall. 6.8 A blast from start but not to finish. The last level in the game riddled with difficulty, and glitches really zaps the fun out of a generally delightful Coop twin stick shooter.
