down is the new up welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
exploring everything you should know
about inversion
developed by saber interactive and
published by Namco Bandai Games
inversion is a third-person shooter set
in the near future its story takes place
after humanity has finally achieved
world peace and has come under the gaze
of a hostile alien race called the
looted oras descending on earth the
aliens begin a full-on invasion wielding
gravity shifting weapons to decimate the
planets defenses their arrival has
likewise caused the appearance of
mysterious anomalies that have made
random sections of Earth’s cities take
on unstable and unpredictable gravity
fluctuations caught up in the fight to
reclaim the planet is an everyday police
officer named Davis Russell with his
partner Leo they make their way across
the twisted cityscape on a mission to
gather recon and find Russell’s daughter
this leads them to steal the aliens are
mounted grab link devices and fight
gravity with gravity characters and
story aside the real star of inversion
is savers use of the Havok physics
engine while you will be forced to find
cover when the bullets start flying
obvious comparisons to games like Gears
of War become less prominent as soon as
the world around you begins to alter
fights shift vectors and you must
navigate in zero-g to dispatch alien
invaders Russell and Leo must not only
make use of a wide arsenal of alien and
human weaponry but must also use bursts
of low or high gravity to their
advantage through the gravel inc tool
which requires color-coded energy packs
interestingly low gravity is used to do
such things as pull enemies away from
cover use objects as weapons solve
environmental puzzles and form new paths
meanwhile high gravity can pin enemies
to the ground so you can blow them away
drop enemies through floors and pull
down rubble to form cover think
half-life 2’s gravity gun meets Jedi
powers shockingly enemies can use many
of the same tricks on you as well
causing you to float about helplessly
with a well-aimed shot because of this
the gameplay possibilities are endless
and the physics engine allows for some
of the most insane and spectacular
sights ever attempted in a video game
scaling a building or having a ceiling
suddenly become a floor while enemies
descend on you from all angles the
gameplay possibilities found in
inversion are as exciting as they are
novel likewise the inclusion of full on
cooperative play makes this a game
you’ll definitely want to pick up and
play with a buddy if you have no one to
play with the computer will fill in your
partner’s shoes with a serviceable a I
bought as far as replay value is
concerned inversion features a survival
mode and many multiplayer options that
will have
you battle through several forms of
death match and team deathmatch each
mode has you shifting gravity on your
opponents for extra points and
breathtaking kills these include several
unique spins on familiar scenarios such
as gravity slaughter and king of gravity
and are sure to turn your expectations
upside down inversion may borrow tricks
from the competition but it is easily
one of the most ambitious shooters on
the 360 PC and ps3 in a long time for
