Maybe the only thing better than shooting your friends in the face is getting paid to do so. Monday Night Combat is a third-person, class-based shooter space on a television game present. Players
battle bots or other humans in an attempt to waste the enemy's Moneyball (which is exactly what it sounds like) and get cash prizes. There are only two modes -- one cooperative and one adversarial
-- but that keeps the game focused and unusual. I don't know about you, but I don't really need another Team Deathmatch mode. This is a very lighthearted shooter compared to games like Gears of War
or Battlefield: poor Company and I consider it will resonate with people for that very reason. Here, killing people is a motive secondary to protecting your esteem (or destroying your opponent's) .
Blitz is the cooperative mode where up to four players fend off waves of increasingly difficult bots. The fact that you can gain defense turrets makes this sort of a tower defense game where you're
down in the action. Every extinguish earns you cash that can be spent to earn turrets -- or you can expend it to upgrade your beget abilities. This will be a key decision in every game of Monday
Night Combat you play. Blitz mode can also be played solo, but it's definitely more fun with other gamers.

Crossfire mode is for when you want to waste other people. Here, two teams of up to six players try to kill the enemy's Moneyball while defending their fill. Along with building defense turrets and
upgrading your skills you can also consume cash to spawn Breach Bots that will blindly march into enemy territory and attempt to bring down the Moneyball's shields.
There are six classes to resolve from that offer a variety of tactical options. Assault and Tank classes reach packing the gigantic guns, Assassin and Sniper are more nimble options, and the
encourage class can heal teammates and turrets (as well as plunge bombs apt onto an enemy's head) . The only redundant class is the Gunner, which seems to be a mix of Assault and Tank.
You initiate a match with a nice wad of cash and must determine how best to utilize it -- on your have abilities or on your home security system? Either diagram you'll have to mediate lickety-split
because that first wave of bots is coming whether you're ready or not. Monday Night Combat usually succeeds in putting a smile on my face. One of the most bizarre gaming events I've recently
witnessed is when Bullseye, the Monday Night Combat mascot, appears and flamboyantly gallivants around the arena fearless you to shoot him for cash. It's delicate surreal.
I did encounter the occasional performance direct while playing heated matches of Monday Night Combat online. Every once in a while the framerate will sigh but it's not unpleasant enough to slay the
experience. The game looks astronomical and the blue and orange color map is lively. The only eyesore is the audience which looks like it was ripped from a Nintendo 64 game.

Later Bro
Monday Night Combat doesn't offer a substantial variety of modes or maps, but all of the divulge being offered is focused and fun. With so many "serious" shooters out there trying to be hardcore,
this racy, roguish trouble is refreshing. It's a gigantic fit for Xbox Live and manages to stand out in a crowded genre.
