IGN Review

Best Live Arcade game yet?  For me it's a close call between it and Geometry Wars.  Since they're both such different games though it's impossible to compare... but for me they are definitly the two best.  What do you think?

Really hard, but it's a blast and kinda funny to boot.

It's really fun, but alot is missing in terms of sound, most music is missing from the console versions and there's no xbox live multi which is totally stupid

I assume there were space concerns for the game. It was about 47M if memory serves and I don't know how much file space an online component would take up.

Didn't like the demo too much...too hard and the bosses may be repetitive but once again are annoying...whatever.

They actually said they would have had to recode everything.

That's how games used to be back in the day, now we're all used to easy games...
I just beat it for the first time.  Pretty fun once you learn how to frenzy and chomp a guy's head off, or bury yourself and pull someone under.  I had to put it on easy to get through it.  Really challenging game that reminded me of the metal slug games but even more frenetic.  I think it is easily the best arcade game since GW:RE.THETRUEDOZAH
AGREED!

I bought this game last night, and holy crap is it hard.  I was able to get to level 1-3 or something before losing all of my lives, but they give you so many....I learned a few things and it wasn't too horrible once I got the hang of it.  The bosses absolutely crushed me.  .....some of them, I just had to shower with bullets between eventual deaths, with no strategy at all.  Brutal.

Played it on GBA, so its probably the same.  Not spectacular imo.  Kinda annoying that they keep rehashing the game for a buck.

Nah the GBA one is the only version that was sorta different, some of the consoles best parts aren't in there

Your spelling is fine, and yes UMK3 is right up there with this game and Geometry Wars in terms of value

It's definitely one of the highest rated arcade games.
