Rock Paper Shotgun has a great hands-on preview of Multiwinia, the “next-gen” PC/Xbox Live Arcade version of Darwinia, the popular PC game that went unnoticed by many. Darwinia’s TRON-like visuals have been knocked up a notch to dazzling, and the gameplay’s been improved as well.
I’m green. The computer is taking up red, yellow and blue. Four teams! It’s as if it’s made for RPS. Let’s pretend that Alec is controlling the blue, Jim the yellow and Walker the red, just to make it a little more human. The aim of King of the Hill is to capture various zones in the map, with you earning points for each second you possess a zone. You can change the rules of King of the Hill to a number of other types – like, say, you gain a point for each Darwinian you have in a zone each second, which changes the strategic demands considerably.
Check out the rest of his hands-on gameplay as he describes what happens during his multiplayer match.
