This should be out on Wednesday, is anyone picking this up? I watched a couple of videos of it and it looks like a Super Smash Bros. type game. It looks like it is four players both off line and on Live. (Not sure about the Live part)

I will probably DL the demo and then decided. I have read that it will be 800 points.

I'll take a look at it, either tonight or tomorrow. I wont have much time for gaming, tonight. However, I have been anticipating this title as it kind of looks like a mesh between a Smash Brothers type of game, and either Metal Slug or Forgotten Worlds (depending on how you control the firing).

It is an excellent game. It is four players on Live or off line and the stages/character designs are very good. It plays very well and the weapons are a cool addition to the Smash Bros. type play.

I would have thought with all of the bullets flying around, it wouldn't work as a fight game but the stages are designed well, so it really just adds to the game. There of course is hand to hand if you are close enough.

I have been pretty busy with the Wii but I am impressed with this Live Arcade game. Microsoft needs more original games like this, since Nintendo has most of the classic games I want already covered.

I'll give this a shot.

Won't really be able to play with it until the weekend though.

I'm having a lot of fun with this game.


Here's some things that suck:

- The camera has a tendancy to go completely wrong and focus on some weird part of the level sometimes making the game unplayable.

-The melee attacks are kind of weak and don't have a real impact.


I like:

+Tons of characters, each has a unique weapon.

+A good amount of levels and variation.

+The ranked matches are cool, just 2 minute bursts of action that are hella fun to play.


Overall I really like the game and definately think it's worh 10 bucks. I think any smah bros. fan would laugh at this cause it doesn't have the depth or cool characters ... but it's only 10 bucks...

An easy way to get the shooting gallery achievement is to jump on the squares and up above there are gray squares that are worth hella points!

Oh.. I play the cat character. I like his machine gun.
