I used to play this series until my fingers bled (Not literally). So when I seen today, that there were achievements for some of them up on Kongregate I was like "Hey, I remember those being good." Well I'm here to say that they don't hold up to the times anymore. I'm sitting here Playing Thing-Thing Arena 2 thinking to myself. "I thought these were good!" But they are not. It IS an Arena fighter, the kind of game I'm prone to like, but this just doesn't hold up! The enemies don't take any extra damage for shooting them in the face, and sometimes it could take one-hundred bullets to kill one zombie! In a game where Ammo is SUPPOSED to be precious, it sure has a way of making you feel powerless.

The Thing-Thing Arena games themselves have NO story, it's just that. An arena. The Thing-Thing (Absent of the Arena subtitle) series it-self if memory serves has a semi decent story, but I'll touch on that for those games. Thing Thing Arena I feel takes everything that was good about the Thing-Thing series, and SHITS on it. "I'm in your game, taking your fun and story line!" Is what it feels like they are telling me. Now GRANTED this is just Thing-Thing Arena 2, the others MIGHT not be so bad (I have no hope for the first one if the second one is this terrible though). Essentially what it comes down to is, play the game for the achievements, then get the fuck out of there!!!
