Ever thought you couldn't get enough of martians? Empire Interactive has announced this morning that Martian Panic will be brought exclusively for Wii in early 2009.
Developed by N-Fusion Interactive Entertainment Corp., Martian Panic will take the shooting genre out of this world, with new levels of strategy, and experimental weaponry. If one gun at a time isn’t enough, players can grab a second Wii Remote™ and blast away in the game’s dual wielding mode. Up to four players can battle simultaneously against the Martian onslaught and the advanced camera system ensures that the gamer’s vantage is always right. The rules are simple but the action is intense, so hold onto your helmet as the challenges escalate.
