SO i just got done with playing the Splatoon testfire demo online servers (which are now shutdown until sometime in the morning) and I thought I'd give out my impressions of the demo. So you could call this a mini review in a sense.
First off, when you start the demo you are treated to a little tutorial level that helps explain the controls to you. I'll admit, it took me a while to get used to the controls on my Wii U Gamepad, especially with the camera controls. that took some getting used to. But after some practice I was able to get the pattern down.
Then, once you've finished the tutorial level you'll be sent to the menu where you can chooses your gender. You can either pick the boy inkiling. Or the girl inkling. And who you choose as well as what color type you give him/her will determine wheather your character is considered cool or not. I choose the boy inkling since he seemed to be alright even though the female inkling looks better. ANd I had him in blue because it's a neat color.
Once I've created my character and chosen my weapon of choice, I went off for battle. And I have to say, the online is simply amazing. It was loads of fun. I started off with using the regular paint gun. And while I wasn't completely bad with it, I had a little trouble aiming at the other players with it since the aim required the motion controls with the camera (which i really hate so far in the game as I find it to be just plain atrocious). So I choose the roller instead and with that weapon I moped the floor with the other players and literallly was the only reason why my team kept winning the matches. Although i did try the sniper rifle weapon too, but that item is completely underpowered and useless that you're better off with either the regular paint gun or the roller (and the roller is a bit overpowered from what I've played so far) unless you're good with the sniper rifle. In short, the roller is really good for covering the map, and the sniper rifle is good for defense,
But overall, I had a fun time with the testfire demo online servers. It really helped me decide weather I should buy the game on day 1 or not. The online servers are extremely fun.
