Idea Info Name: Not another shoot-em-up?!? Index: Secondary Category: Action Submitted: 11/18/2002 10:07:03 PM Written By: ypman

Don't you get bored with all the shoot-em-up games? Well, game developers have tried to add some twists to it by doing stealth games (Hitman) or strategy like (Thief) etc.

What I suggest is like a shoot em up game but with a different theme. You can be a ninja and throw "shinobi"s , or an elf using a bow and arrow. Weapons can range from poison darts, to blowpipes, to throwing knives.

The story line can be about a young man trained up to be a hunter, but one day he came home to see his house burned down and his family killed. so he set out to avenge his family's death. armed with only a "X" (whichever he chooses), he will go through the vast country to find the killers. It may be an adventure game too, but would be fun if the game was 1st person view.

of course different weapons act differently. for example different ranges, arrowing drop after a flying distance, poison darts take a while to kill the target, slingshots only render the target unconcious, etc.

while the game progresses, you might pick up new weapons, but you have to choose which one you want. You are limited to carry 2 big weapons and a small one. (be realistic) your skill increases the more you use a type of weapon or when someone you meet teaches you the skill.
