Purchased this morning and just had a few hours on it cos im off work with a broken elbow. Fortunately i can still use the 360 controller.
Initially the extra game modes are locked, the only available one being Deadline. It's easy to unlock the other so no complaints there then. I'd like to mention the music in Deadline mode. In Deadline you get 3 minute and unlimited lives, the music gradually gets louder and louder as the Deadline approaches. If you lose a life, it pause briefly and restarts like someone has suddenly stopped a vinyl record on a turntable and lifted the finger, superb!
Strangely, the mode which has me hooked is Pacifism, which is strange because this mode seemed the least interesting one to me.
Waves is probably my least fave at the moment because i'm so carp at it but i will persevere.
King i also love, the idea being you can only fire when you are in these rings/zones. When you enter one, it slowly diminishes so you have to hop to another one so you can fire again.
Graphically it's been tweaked, not many complaints but i don't like the curved effect the score has ingame, minor, but it's not for me. Also you only have the single weapon, the fast fire one from GW:RE, a 3 shot slight spread version. The green enemies who dodge your fire in the first one have been tweaked, they move alot quicker! Arghhh, i hated 'em then and even more so now!
All in all, I do like it very much. Multi player is where this game will win, must get a crate in and gets the lads/lasses round sometime. However, it's NOT multiplayer on Live which is a bummer imo
Samcross, if you like retro shooters like asteroids on steroids you WILL be addicted. Try it out, there's the demo!
Appologies for spelling mistakes cos i just hammered this out as quick as i could
Cheers all
