As for Border Down, either you'll like it or you won't. As I've said before, I recognize it for what it is, but I still don't like it all that much. VERY deep scoring mechanics and hard as nails. If that sounds like it's up your alley, it's definitely worth finding.

subcons said:Blasphemy. The scheme it uses gives you far more accuracy and manuverability once you understand how to use it and become accustomed to it. By using just the triggers, you'd probably only be able to pivot at one speed. By giving you the ability to move the cursor closer or further away, you can control the speed at which you spin your ship around. It just becomes second nature after a while, but you have to sit down and spend some time with it to truly appreciate it.
This game still stands as one of my all-time favorites.

Perhaps i'll become a changed man?

BD is crazy deep, but if I had to pick one little thing as my favorite mechanic, it would be the boss fights. I know it's not the only game that's done something similar, but getting far more points for killing the boss at an exact target time (as in not as fast as possible) makes for very interesting boss fights and very deep strategy.
Lagduf said:I havent given BD much of a try as i've been trying to stop sucking at Zero Gunner 2 (getting better!). Admittedly i only played it for a few minutes and i'm not totally up to speed with the weapons or scoring system or any aspect of the game. At the moment i'm stuck on the fact that its a horizontal shooter
The only thing i dont like in Zero Gunner 2 is that every boss so far just transforms into some dumbass flying robot. Meh, not really a big gripe as the gameplay is where its at. I was playing some other shooters i got recently and I was finding that i was trying to rotate. lolz.

And this might seem vain, but you know what turns me off most about Border Down? It's the presentation. The game is by no means ugly, it's just... bad. To a point, almost boring for me. The gameplay is insane, but I seriously can't get past how uncool it is.
Second to that, I just find the mechanics frustrating personaly. If you're up for the challenge though, I will say there is not much out there like BD. It's definitely unique.
