I just remembered about it closing last Sunday and I forgot to download it damnit! Was it any good? They sure as hell didn't give it much advertising, probably didn't want many people getting it for free.

And if someone knows the name of it, please say, I can't think of it off the top of my head.

Don't like it very much either. The game gets pretty boring fast, but it does have a Lobster that can shoot HE rounds.

Microsoft just screwed us over. They said "Sorry about this. You get a game for free!" Which just so happens to be one of the worst games evah.. imo..

It's not completely terrible like everyone here is saying, my guess is most of you don't usually download arcade games (maybe I am wrong). I thought it had good arcade graphics, decent game play, but a bad story line (so far).

The game was Undertow and it was in the Inside xbox bulletin with a link to download it, along with the dates it was available.

It was quite fun to play through as it isn't very long, but better in coop than singleplayer. Multiplayer is quite good now because lots of people have it, but within a month it will probably be dead - probably just like it was before it became free!

Anyway it could have been a LOT worse - we could have got screwjumper!!

Like any Arcade game, it has a demo. Play it and you'll know if it's any good.

I like the game, great graphics for a tiny little arcade game, it's fun to play with friends.

At least they didn't schlop us something like "Prius," the Yaris sequel.

I like it! I play for little amounts of time a day, but it's fun. Good game to play when you wanna take a break from one of your real games.

I started the campaign mode, finished watching the little cut scene they had at the beginning, then got into the action. And then about 10 seconds in I said "this is horrible" and turned it off. It was really god awful.

I personally thinked the game sucked. I tried giving it a chance after downloading it (since I hated the demo), but it was just bad.. I don't understand how Undertow had such a good reputation to begin with.

yeah, i think undertow is a decent game. I played the demo a few weeks ago, then downloaded the full version since it was free. I think it's fun but the replay value is not that high. The missions get repetitive and the story is so so. I dont know if i'd pay $ for the game, but for free it was good. I probably wont delete it for a few weeks.

The game was Undertow.

Think of it as an underwater sidescrolling Battlefield game. Now imagine that you have a huge 60 inch HDTV, your character will be 1/2 an inch tall on the screen. The game is the exact same. Kill all their people before they kill you. Most repatative game ever.
