Sure, the main character is your typical "teenager with attitude" stereotype, but the gameplay of the game is great. The premise of the story is also great. No more cute little elf running around in a tiny garden fighting normal sized bugs. At some point, Earth was invaded by giant bugs that wiped out part of the population and destroyed parts of the planet. These parts became wasteland, where plants are unable to grow and the bugs prey upon whatever is in their sight.
The action is entertaining and it would have also made a great game for Xbox Live Arcade/Playstation Network/Steam if Atari wanted to make some quick easy money with ports.
Centipede: Infestation is a video game developed by WayForward Technologies and published by Atari, SA for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo 3DS. It is a re-imagining of the Centipede video game franchise.
Centipede: Infestation is set in a post-apocalyptic world, and features a "run 'n' gun" shooting style gameplay with a mix of tower-defense style objects. The player's goal is to fight off giant bugs while seeking to use special seeds to bring plant life back to the world. Players control a character named Max as well as secondary character named Maisy who possesses a collection of special needs. She is often in need of rescue. The game has co-op gameplay, and a wide variety of weapons and stages. The co-op part of the game features a selection of characters to choose from and it is much easier to get through the game with a friend.
