0 Day Attack on Earth

With the focus on four-player action, it's more frenetic and atmospheric than its peers. [Issue#55, p.105]

Online play undercut by crummy design choices. [Mar 2010, p.83]

Twin stick shooter fans have many other places to look to get their fix on the XBLA and almost all of them would be a better choice than 0 Day.

When your best feature is a map, your game is either seriously flawed or hopelessly mediocre. 0 Day manages the rare feat of being both.

Suffering from lack of players and lobby issues, particularly galling given the heightened multiplayer aspect of the game, it’s very difficult to recommend a purchase, especially at the high price of 1200 MSP (plus an extra 1120 MSP for the additional map packs).

There has been an internal struggle here to find any pinnacle highlights and potential attractions that other players may find interest in; in the end I have managed to narrow the list down to having a decent capacity of players for multiplayer and an intriguing idea for using satellite imagery. It’s just a shame that they were both wasted on such a inadequately produced and simply frustrating experience of a game.

Ugly, amateurish and badly made arena-based shooter that relies on a co-op mode nobody will ever play.
