eh, seems alright but not something close to worth $60 on the 360. should be like a $15-20 XBLA title imo, of course I haven't seen single-player.

I played the beta a bit on PC the other day. I'm not sure how well that would translate from mouse/kb to the comparatively sluggish responsiveness of an analog thumbstick.

I keep meaning to give it another try. It was a little too scattered and chaotic, without much of a defined "front" happening. Sort of like the early beta of Planetside before they changed the tower control mechanic.
