It really wasn't that bad. I didn't think the whole "organized chaos timed shooter" concept would work, but they actually pulled it off. The graphics are pretty good, but close quarter combat, aiming and the camera.....not so much. Game has potential, but that's the problem with a lot of games today. They mostly have potential and don't get it right until the second or third time around. My guess is 6.5-7.0 out of 10.
I've been playing it for a while since it came out on the EU PSN, and I think it's pretty good. The basic gameplay is only average, but I'm a complete sucker for high scores and level memorization, which the game seems to emphasize.
I really liked the demo I thought it was really well done because you had to memorize the map to score high. I don't know if it's worth $60 but it would definitely be worth $30.
IGN or Gamespot downed it, but I replayed that level like ten times trying to chain the whole thing into one long combo. It was alot of fun to me. It has that classic arcade game appeal where you keep trying to get a better score simply because you feel you can do better. Not to unlock anything or progress the story, but simply because you beat it and its like, "damn... if I hadn't got caught in a reload I coulda kept the combo going." This game will be alot of fun with a group of people going back and forth trying to top each other. Especially if "fun time" elements are burning or being consumed.
I certainly don' think its worth $60, but i'll definately buy it once it gets in the low $40s or if I get a bigger than expected paycheck. Actually the price of alot of games kinda brings down my rating a little bit. I don't thin any game this gen is worth $60. Mass Effect comes close but then I remember that Chrono Trigger, FF7, and KOTOR were only $50.

People buy those generic SHMUPS for the Dreamcast for $60, and still go and praise them. Same with stuff like Oneechanbara Vortex.
