I simply can not put it down once I start. I keep telling myself "one more game and then I'm going to bed" over and over again. It's fun, fast paced, and sometimes frustrating, but not in a "throw your $50 wireless controller across the room" kinda way. I keep trying to beat my previous high score and even more importantly my friend's high score (which is viewable in the Xbox Live Dashboard). Also there are quite a few achievements to unlock and some of them are very challenging.
It is pretty hard at first, but after a couple of plays I was able to get the controls down and they became second nature, but that's not to say that it's not challenging!
If you're a fan of old-school arcade shooters like Asteroids definitely give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.
