Finally another decent live arcade game. Just been tinkering with the demo, will buy this when I get some more points. Pretty enjoyable.

Try it.
 
Downloaded the demo, not played it yet. If it is decent it might warrent the points ... i've not much to play on the 360 until GRAW2 is out!
 
Had a quick blast of it tonight. quite enjoyable. I'd rather Metal Slug was ported to XBLA, that would be worth the points, especially if we got all of them.

But I'll say again. MAME on Xbox 360! (with a way to get rom images onto the HD from a PC!) I'd pay for the emulator, they dont need to supply the roms!

Same, rather a lean spell. I play the odd game of gears and pro evo. Still got R6 to finish on realistic and thats about it.
 
Agreed that this is the best XBLA game for ages, still not sure if I will buy the full game though but I'm thinking about it.

I never think any are worth 800 points but I will get this one anyone to have a quick game to play. I think I've had these 2100 points for about 8 months so it wont hurt to use them :D
 
Really liking this game, which surprised me as I am not usually into these mad / hectic shooters where you have to weave a path through the bullets. However I think this looks really good and has a polished feel to it. Currently trying to get 12 kills with one Nuke and get past level 10.

Does it have anything to do with the guys that made Worms? The backdrops, fonts and music all remind me of Worms.
 
I might give this a go later today, but I'm in the complete opposite boat to other people posting here - I have way too many 360 games to play!

I don't have one game that I'm finished playing, and that includes XBLA games. I only just started Splinter Cell last night and I've had that for about 3 months! Gonna be several months before I get round to Rainbow 6 and Lost Planet!
 
Has anyone had a go at Survival mode. I have got to around 9 minutes, but then it just gets insane with Nuclear bombers and satellites!! God knows how can get to 12 minutes!!

Yep I got to 8 minutes, do you have to shoot those nukes cos once they hit the floor your done.
 
Yeah, you need to get underneath them as soon as possible and take out the bombs and the plane.

If you have upgraded the tank with the shield balls (or whatever they are called) then you can sometimes take a direct hit from one of the Nukes and survive, however the ball must hit the bomb.
 
Had a quick blast of this and really enjoyed it. Think i'll buy it when I get through my current crop of games :) Anyone seen word of when we can expect Worms?

Yeah I worked it out in the end :D upto level 12 now. Best live game ever imho. I liked assault hero's but this is better. Fine looking blast fest.

Just got to level 16, do you know how many levels there is?
