Read or Die - ElePaperAction

If watched Read or Die or R.O.D The TV then you know about "The Paper" and the "Paper Dectective Sisters" making weapons, shields, planes and animals from paper.

I found this neat beat'em up game - ElecPaperAction, where you can take their roles.

There's a demo on this site were you can play the Paper Dectective Sisters.

Anita is good for close combat.
Michelle can shoot the targets with the arrows.
Maggie can create barriers for protection and animals to fight.

When you attack you use up your paper reserve. If the paper reserve is too low you can't create different attacks. You only gain more paper by destroying the enemies.

The graphics are in 2D sprites and the background is 3D, but I find the sprites break up a bit when the camera zooms in onto the characters. The resolution is also quite low at 640x480.

I find the game a little on the hard side because I died in level 2, but this game is pretty good game based on the R.O.D universe.

Here's my gallery from the game.
