With a never get old multi-player, and a great single player, the only downside was a lack of saveable high scores.

I can't urge shooter fans enough to get this game. Or just for anyone who loves multi-player. The gameplay is simple and great. You go through different towns shooting up the bad guys, taking the bonus' that come out of them, and getting your ship super powerful. Beating the game is hard, but beating the set high score isn't. You can pretty much do that in the first level. Which brings me to the game's biggest fault. You get the whole high score thing, but after you turn off the game, they dissapear. When you come back to play later, all of your scores are gone. It's the biggest downside to me.
The graphics are nothing spectacular, though they could have been. Everything is wonderfully designed, with levels going though forests, or towns, or over futurstic bridges crowded with tanks. But everything looks very pixelated, and that brings the quality down. The music is that classic cheesy arcade sound set to sound sort of like old pop rock tunes.
The replay value is great, If your planning to play multi-player alot. I can't tell you how many times me and my friends have picked up the game for a quick go around. It's not as fun single player, but it's still a great game too goof around with once in a while.
Overall, this game is great for shooter fans and people who want a good time gaming with friends.
