Smash the city real good in City Smasher

Have fun smashing up a city in this cool, graphically rich game

To be honest, it is not like it has been one of my lifelong dreams to smash up a city. But I can imagine that for some people it has. Nonetheless, even though it has not been a dream of mine, the idea behind City Smasher looked fun enough so I decided to give this cool flash game a try. What most impressed me (and still does) about City Smasher were the graphics and sounds. You are the guy walking along the city and you get a big hammer. You stop a little bit before a building (it takes a bit of practice to work out just how near or far to the building you should be) and then you take your hammer, swing it back (the computer does this for you) and whack the building. Depending on how big the building is will determine how many attempts it will take you to smash it. This also depends on how accurately situated towards the building you are - in other words, if you are too far away then you will not get an accurate smashing in and thus breaking it down will take longer.

Go nuts in all your surroundings in City Smasher

But it is not just buildings that you get to knock down in City Smasher. You can smash up airplanes in the sky and moving cars too. So it is an all encompassing event. As well, you are using all different methods to do this: you smash, kick, attack with fire, jump and more. (Different keys on the computer make different commands). So there really is a lot going on in this game.

What I especially enjoyed about City Smasher is that it is a pretty easy game to play right from the start. For example, for my very first game I made a staggering 5690 points! So it is not like one of the games that requires non-stop practice. The down side of the game is that instructions are not all that clear so it can be a case of trial and error. But this is not such a bad thing given that it really is a very easy game to play, as can be seen by my large initial score.
