I think the most I got out of it was wasted hard drive space. At least that was free.

I'll probably sap it for the achievements but I can only handle it at short bursts.

Thanks anyway Microsoft. At least they did SOMETHING.

Thoughts?

Yes the game is open for download until the 28th I think. The game overall was alright, nothing spectacular. I probably will get the achievements for it and forget about it until I need the HDD space :P

Your face is horrible! No I'm just kidding, imagine if I was like that. I thought it was fun for co-op play and for the achievments I got but 10,000 kills and beating it on Ultra difficulty. No thanks.

The story is horrible. The gameplay is subpar. The visuals on the other hand are the best I've seen in an arcade game. But as they say, graphics aren't everything. I only downloaded it for the achievements.

I just got my xbox360 recently but i really don't get what the big deal is with achievement points. Why play a game just for achievement points if you don't even enjoy the game much to begin with?...i don't get it.

Thats what I thought when I first got my Xbox 360, but now I'm hooked and obviously its not just me. But I should say that I know a lot of people who don't care about achievment points and they are all very casual gamers. I think its more of a hard-core gamers that strive of achievment points, mostly for bragging purposes, and the challenge of trying to get them.

The game is alright, it looks nice and everything but it's boring... there's not much to it. It's very quiet, there's a battle going on but you can barely hear anything, no explosions or anything.

It becomes an addiction, because it makes it seem like you are not wasting your time gaming.

yes the story sucks, the voice acting sucks, but the graphics are OKAY. i thought it was good for a free game which would usually cost 10 or 12 bucks. im an achievement whore, so this is a good oportunity for me, but not worth 10 dollars

welcome to acheivement junkies. I am also one. Its just a pride thing. Some people go further then others though just to get them. M$ has run contests before though for free games depending on your gamerscore so it does have benefits to have a higher score.

You got some valid points, makes sence. I guess i just havn't been sucked into the whole acheivement point thing, maybe it'll grow on me.

Thats why all the critics are giving it good scores. I love this game, but I really wish that they would have given us some MS points and discounted everything in the marketplace. way better deal.

When I got my first 1000 points for a game and so had totally completed it I felt really good. After that I was totally hooked on achievements and that urge to complete that next game!

I didn't like it that much at all either. I'm surprised by the score it got here on gamespot and by other critics.

The game has god awful graphics, the game play sucks, and they were originally going to charge us 800 points for this piece of S***. The least they could have done is make a mildly decent game free. Undertow is nearly as bad as Yaris.

I really like it actually. In fact, it's now my favorite arcade game. The co-op play on ultra is super hard, and really fun with a friend.

I thought it was fun, kind of a mix between Geometry Wars and Team Fortress 2. Still, I doubt I could play it for an extended period of time.

The whole concept of the game is just lame. I mean they added a story to the singleplayer portion of the game,wtf were the developers thinking?

After that awesome review in GameInformer, I was highly disappointed.

It was nothing special at all.

I really like that effect though, it adds an almost eerie presence to the underwater battles.
