Paul's Shooting Adventure 2

About

Paul's Shooting Adventure 2 is a top-down shooter where you and a buddy team up as Paul and his twin to take down swarms of bugs. The DSi's dual screens split the action between you both letting you blast enemies with guns or bombs. Missions unfold in rapid waves of crawling and flying foes with power-ups that let you switch weapons or call in airstrikes. The touch screen handles movement and targeting while the upper screen shows the battlefield from above. The game leans into chaotic co-op play with simple controls that make it easy to pick up but tough to master. Twin-player modes are rare on DSi and this one works well for local splitscreen or single-player with AI help. Player reviews from 2012 note the game's straightforward fun though the repetitive enemy designs and limited levels keep it from lasting long.
