Tornado Analysis

Improved Essays
So if you are looking for something a little different on the Nintendo DS you will certainly find that with Tornado, but unfortunately you will also get a game with some lackluster gameplay and a story mode that makes as much sense as the characters do. Why oh why do the decide to make the characters talk but use silly noises instead of words, I mean it is like the sims who don 't speak English but in this game it is way more annoying than that, anyway read on for more info.

Buying This Game

Well in this day and age you can buy a game from any number of sources although mostly I tend to make my purchases online bit on occasion I might see something in an exchange shop or in a charity shop, well on this occasion the game purchase was online

On your right you see the power bar go up and this will generate a tornado when it is full, this will also disperse your tornado if it runs out or reduces the level if your tornado is running above level one.
In the levels you can choose to move the tornado with the stylus or use the D-pad but if you are looking to keep the energy up then the stylus is the best option for sure as you will need to use the rotate motion every so often, there are other moves all of them explained by the game as you play and come across them but these tend to be level specific or required to complete a specific objective in a level anyway.

So when playing a level you will get a time limit and an objective and you simply have to move the tornado around increasing the level power as you go, anything can be picked up in a level so long as you have the power and that is pretty much all there is to the gameplay. The game is also very short with just ten levels to play in but they are all based on real world locations with famous recognisable landmarks but they are of course made to look all cartoon like in keeping with the game

Bet you are thinking eh? Well so was I but apparently the characters are part of a group known as the Cosmic Cleaners, (there is no mention of this at the start of the game though) and they are on planet 69 which is where the earth was taken to by Prince and now these guys are going to return everything using their tornado machines.
The rest of the game looks nice presentation wise, the menu setup is snazzy looking and in levels the graphics adopt the late PlayStation style you would get from games like Crash Bandicoot or similar. The level design is straightforward landscapes in a sandbox level with the action displayed on the bottom screen and a level map on the top screen, it works out very nicely but I thought the camera view could have been a little further back as it can be difficult to see where you are going, still with only ten levels it is short anyway.

Than wind comes into the storm and starts to swirl into a funnel making it spin faster and faster creating a low pressure area sucking the air into it. A funnel clouds has electrical charges. The positive charges particles are located on the top of the cloud, whereas the negative charges particles are in the bottom of the cloud.
