this game is cool, it's incredibly tough, but it's very cool. the thing that keeps me captivated is the amount of colors and motion in such a small screen. and the effects that they use are pretty darn cool, like the grid deforming as you fly and shoot through it. it's not an easy game by any means. it seems to be the type of game that you really have to put some time into, so you can get that big score. i've seen one video of someone playing the game and getting several million points. i can't keep track of what's happening the action is so intense. the gameply is simple. the concept is simple: destroy everything on the screen. i wonder how high the scores can go. will someone eventually make it to 50,000,000? 100,000,000? more than that? it's a great game for a small price available on the live arcade. if you are fortunate enough to have a 360, i highly recommend getting this game. i don't play it all the time, and my score reflects that, but it is a fun game to play. and it looks really cool.
