Thing Thing Arena Classic is like Thing Thing Arena 3, with a few notable changes. You've got your upgraded graphics, your surplus of customization options, and all that jazz. Sadly, the pipe is out. No more melee. I'm not sure why it was taken out, but its not like you'd ever need to use it, since you have infinite ammo now. Theres new weapons, some are taken out, some have stayed. An important major change to the game is the modes you can play. You've got your normal mode, your zombie mode, and your stinky bean mode(?).
Lets talk about weapons. This time around you only get two weapons. You choose these weapons at the title screen, next to your character customizer. You've got some of the weapons from last time, though most are replaced. Most of the weapons are really just re-skinned, no gameplay differences. The awesome bouncing bullet gun or destruction was replaced with a gauss rifle and pistol. They need a recharge time to go by for them to be effective, but will rip threw quite a few heads at full charge. The most noticeable addition to the arsenal would be Artifact 23. This this is my second favorite weapon(behind the bouncing bullet gun). It basically shoots a small and slow moving ball of black hole the instantly kills everything and keeps going until it hits a wall. You can literally level and entire floor with this thing. It'll just take some time.
Now lets talk about these modes. First off, standard. Its you guys with guns mode. Its like Thing Thing Arena 3, except you can't pick up their weapons. Next is zombies. They just spawn and walk after you, with the occasional acid spitter. Last is stinky bean. Now my first reaction when seeing this mode was "oh god what?". My first time playing this mode that more like "OH GOD WHAT?!". Its that weird. The enemies are these weird THINGS with eyes so big you'd think they'd come from a Zeurel animation. Some attack you, others just suicide bomb you. Its actually kinda hard. Especially the first time, when you're just blown away by the whole ordeal.
Now I still like 3 better. The whole sticking to three weapons thing makes the game very stale very fast, especially since they took out the good guns. The new modes are fun, adds some variety there I guess. No pipe to bop them suckers with is a disappointment as well. It just seems like they took out too much.
