I will say upfront I do not feel that this game will appeal to everyone, however it is still good fun.

Unlike some other commenters, I do not see any online scoreboards. Just 'factory' preset scores which you have to try and beat like an old arcade game.

I find the controls were really easy to pick up, and to me the framerate seems pretty smooth (I am not going to get into the whole 60 FPS debate!). Things do get a bit mental on the bonus stages, so I wouldn't recommend this to epileptics!

I am only up to level 10 at present, so I am not qualified to give a fully informed verdict yet, but I will say I am already finding the gameplay a touch repetitive. There seems to be a distinct lack of challenge and you can shoot the other ships, dodge bullets, use the grapple and collect energy pretty much on auto-pilot.

I don’t want to sound too down on this because I haven’t tried the multiplayer options yet, and there is no denying that it is fun in short bursts. This is old-skool twitch arcade gaming. You have to react quick and hold onto your score multiplier. I am going to persist with it, I love games like Tempest and this has the same addictive pull for me. Something still hasn’t really clicked for me with this game yet however, so I honestly cannot say if the hype was justified.

The game is very much new and not repetitive at all, and that is a fact that you cannot dispute. In the game, you tilt the Wii Remote or use the control pad or Wii Remote + nunchuk to move around and shoot enemies and collect energy on intense, fast-paced space tracks. In the atmosphere it takes place in, and with the gameplay and objectives, it's not something you see every day. If you want to wait for only SMRPG or Earthbound, you'll be disappointed. And since you haven't even played the game, you have no idea what you're trying to say. You have no room to talk right now, so I suggest you leave.

Ocarina of Time took up more space than I thought it would... The game looks fantastic though.

The controls are not a problem; you just might need a little time to get a completely comfortable feel of them. The bonus levels are where it could be hard to maneuver, but that's because they're so fast and you have to really work to keep up with them. The game is great! And I recommend you all buy it! The hype was definitely worth it!

Of course everyone's entitled to their own opinion but I like hearing negative comments about games at times just to see why people say the things they do.

First off, I don't get how this ISN'T a new idea?

Why can't they just develop new ideas, and concepts out of the monotonous "Sci-Fi" genre?
I will not download this game, as it is just another repetitive shooter that amoung other things, takes up 290 blocks of my valuable space.
Peeps, just wait for SMBRPG, Earthbound or Bomberman.
This aint worth the 700 points.
Rockn.

Not to join the chorus, but man! I have only 9 blocks left and still have to get Brawl later this week. What the hell am I going to delete now?!

And yes, I agree. Can't speak for Gradius though.
Sonic 2's Special stage = Second best special stage ever! I'm glad you found that comparison. It's gonna make me enjoy GS even more. :)

Erm. Not sure I want to take a picture of it, let's intersperse text frames in the middle of the video so people don't get too close a look at the kid. Be sure to rrun, rrun awayy from Gyrostarr!

I can't wait to get it today. :)

It's ridiculous. I do have at least Dr. Mario RX demo to dump, seeing as my friend who has the game never gets on. But this problem needs fixed asap!

And I can't wait until the reviews for this game comes out. Here's to hoping for an average score of 85 or better!
