Looks good, reminds me of an old fave game of mine on the PC a few years back called Freelancer! I hope its as good!

BTW, Would love to see the Freelancer IP return on 360!!!

XD Got it before you even had a chance to post!

Opinion? *thumbs up*

Reminds me most of Rebel Assault. Probably first Rail Shooter with single console co-op (Planet Harriers is system link). Throws ridiculous numbers of enemies at you super fast. Amusingly this is how it counterbalances the usually overpowered lock-on missiles: The missiles aren't plentiful nor fast enough to take out ALL the enemies so you NEED to use both missiles AND guns.

Downside is that there's only 3 backgrounds with just different paths and enemy patterns in front of them, but they do their best to make each stage feel different.

Overall: Good for us rail shooter fans. Worth a look. $10 well spent ^_^

The game feels a little like Rez but with more enemies and a nonlinear path.  Worth $10 if you like shooters, especially since it has co-op.

The demo was a lot of fun if you like games like Star Fox and Panzer Dragoon.  I'll definitely be picking this game up.

A space shooter...Without Bosses?

That´s as cool as Halo without weapons...

Still waiting for a mature StarFox...Thats will never come from Nintendo...

It´s not an Omega Five (the best spent money on XBLA ever)...This one sure deserved  a sequel.

How about the Ninja Gaiden 2 Demo?

@ Bombjack:  How in the name of all that is sacred could you possibly compare Freelancer is to this dribble?

@ devs:  How DARE you shanghai the legendary "Aces of" name for this schlock.  Aces of the Pacific, Aces Over Europe, are legend in the annals of gaming history.  And you guys just pissed on Dynamix's grave.  For shame...

I've been waiting for this game - thought the videos looked cool.

I've spent about an hour with the game so far, and gotta say, I love it.  Great pace, great graphics, intense action!

IMHO, definitely one of the top 5 games on XBLA!
