It's arcade, so that may be a reason why. A true game that isn't receiving deserving praise: Mafia II.

Hold on. No game that has yet to be released "deserves praise."

Looks like something I'll probably end up getting.. Arcade games so far haven't been appealling to me at all.

There was plenty of hype at the MS press conference at E3. A little too much, if u ask me.

Exactly, if anything, it was OVER-hyped.

It's not getting hype because it's an arcade game, and a lot of people don't know what it is. I'm hyped for it though, mostly because It plays like Metroid. Still want a real sequel to Fusion.

I might be getting it since the price is 1200 MS points and not the $20+ Epic wanted to charge for it. But why hype it?

03:04 min, looks like a cool gun, reminds me of that scene from the Incredibles when the homing beacon gets activated when Mr. Incredible is looking up Kronos. For $15 I am going to be getting this game, along with MVC2, and 'Splosion Man.

It deserves a bit more attention for sure, I havnt heard anyoen here mention it before today. Its got a solid Metroid / Trine feel to it i think, and im down with that for sure. Its also going to be pricier than most Live games, considering all the work going into it.

It looks promising. Maybe not my type of game, but I like that its pushing the quality of Arcade games. Not only does that raise the bar for future Arcade games, but it also puts pressure on full-priced titles to deliver on their respectivevalue.

there was a gamespot news article about it recently it talked about microsoft's "arcade summer". If you want to know more I think it was on the E3 stage show, so look for that vid.

Hype just causes games to get slammed or elevated for no reason anyhow. I think the game looks great. I'm waiting to see if the demo plays well though and then go from there. I've heard about it and I'm looking forward to it, so as long as there is an advertisement reminding me when it comes out on the Xbox dashboard I'm good.

Arcade games dont usually get that hyped. Doesnt mean that it wont sell very well though.
