Great cure for temporary boredom

The concept is simple enough to understand. You have your regular guns, which gradually upgrade themselves to homing missiles, and you slowly get more and more special weapons; the incentive for continuing to play the game. The sentry is probably the most useful special weapon you'll get as hordes of enemies circling around you in a frustrating game of bumper cars is no fun.

The graphics, though limited in options, are quite nice when pumped up on the proper machine.

The controls take some getting used to in order to not crash every other second. Also, an Xbox remote, as usual, is better than the keyboard.

Game play is engaging as the levels get gradually harder and the enemies change their strategy from shooting you from afar to ramming you into submission.

Overall, it's an $8 fun time-killer that stays entertaining after hour 1. It lasted me through all my first classes this semester so I'm more than happy with it. I'd much rather be in a post WWIII wasteland than in school anyways. ;)
