I'm a bit surprised nobody has mentioned this game, since I have
had it for almost month.
Initially this game looked like a silly shootem up type game. The
graphics were quite good, although the sound is nothing to write home about.
The game is 1 or 2 player. But this is the part that gets me.
In one player mode, you have half the firepower and twice the fuel consumption,
as opposed to the two player mode. That makes this game a "team" effort.
The first few levels are more or less introductory, but the higher
levels really crank you up! I was holding the joystick so HARD, I was getting
massive cramps in my hand. The highest I have gotten to is level 9, and the
action gets pretty intense, there's so much going on. This also slows the game
down a little.
A friend of mine mentioned he saw the game in a table top version at
a resturant. It definately looks like an arcade quality game, perhaps
equivalent to Marble Madness. It appears to be sold out at the local store
now.
Just thought I'd let you all know.
