    I know.

    Kick ass game that seriously just needs a bit more advertising to get the word out. It is far and away the best XNA game out of the batch imo.

    The 2D-Gameplay is really excellent and honestly the best 2D imitation of God of War / Ninja Gaiden that I can remember. The rocking music really pumps you up too.

    I gotta say that Arcade mode is really where this game shines. There looks to be a ton of challenges too.

    WE need a release date! For me this could be the most anticipated XBL game since I heard there was a possibility of Goldeneye!

    Wow! That was some serious fun. The best out of the XNA bunch by far. I'd definitely buy if the full version was ready right now.

    This game will sell.
    Any Idea on when the actual release date is?
    I mean, this could be like, one of the few perfect XBLA games.
    Lengthy (By the look of the level selection)
    Bloody, Fast paced, Slick graphic design.
    BAM!

    The 2D-Gameplay is really excellent and honestly the best 2D imitation of God of War / Ninja Gaiden that I can remember.

    This is completely apt, and echoes exactly what ran through my mind as I played it -- the game seems like a truly faithful 2D interpretation of God of War.

    All of the other XNA trials released were terrible, but this one definitely makes me annoyed about the 17-day trial limit, if only because I'd like to be able to play it up until the full game's release. It looks to be something special.

    Man it's like THE best Arcade game out. I was just talking it over with my brother about doing a 2d game with a combat engine reminiscent of DMC and lo and behold it gets freaking released (well the demo anyway). I've been playing it for about an hour and a half straight and I totally can't wait for the full version. Hell I'd actually spend retail prices if the rest of the game is as good as the demo with a lot more levels I like it THAT much. Not since River City Ransom had I played a sidescrolling game so fun.

    I agree with above poster, I'd pay $60 for this game IF it was 10+ hours long, which judging by the demo isn't that much of a stretch.

    Puts all other XBLA games to shame.

    The combat is more like NG than DMC. You have a weak and a strong attack button and you launch the enemy in the air similar to NG than DMC. The soldiers with the guns are also enemies in NG.

    Wow, there are more similaries than I thought, both require flicking the stick to do a quick dodge/roll and when you use the sword, after the first few hits Ryu and the emo kid both kick the opponent away. NG2 isnt out yet but it has body parts and gore flying everywhere as well. This game IS NG in 2D.

    Do you all have xna memberships?

    I can't find it for the life of me... when I go right to the xna section under my games there is no Y option.

    same here. i like this game because it's different form most of the other games from XBLA most of the games, IMO, are mainly remakes or games or games that really can't hold my interest. this is the first game that i feel is a must buy, and from what im starting to see on other XNA games this my be the start of a bright future for XNA.
