Splatoon Impression

Splatoon has now seen all three of its Global Testfire sessions come and go. I was fortunate enough to join in on the third and final play session, and let me tell you, Splatoon is just as amazing as I've made it out to be.

Gameplay is fluid and the motion controls are simple to pick up and start using. I became accustomed to the motion controls in a matter of minutes.

As for the demo itself, four weapons were made available and two maps were playable. Of the given weapons, I found the Paint Roller to be the most effective for both "splats" and quickly covering up large areas of the map.

Overall, the game looks great, plays great, and is an absolute blast to play. If you haven't pre-ordered, I suggest you do and quickly. (For those with Super Smash Bros., you're gonna want to pre-order from GameStop, who will give you Splatoon costumes for Smash.
