Eh, its a good way to waste time after the day is done. The music is nice, although I wouldn't buy the sound track. The graphics are good, although that clearly wasn't the goal. The game play is simply and mindless -- its asteroids. I bought it on sale ($3.75). I don't think its worth $15.

Great game...I had a blast playing ;p It reminded me of my old atari 2600 and the countless hours I spent playing Asteroid...man did I suck at that time. Luckily, with tighter mouse control, I've managed to beat all 30 levels and believe me, some are pretty hard. A must for "shmups" fanatics, I highly recommend this title!

I have no idea why this game only has a 70 rating. I love this game. I open it up from time to time to play a round or two. This is like Asteroids on steroids. Unfortunately the game has a really steep difficulty curve going from easy levels to ones you swear you can't beat. Luckily you get to choose your path and many times jumping to a higher sector will be an easier level.

The key is getting the mutlipliers for your score so your weapons upgrade faster. You can't sit around in the center shooting unless you want to die. Graphics are good and the music is fitting and gets me into the game even though it can be repetitive. I really wish they allowed you to change control mappings but they aren't bad. Sometimes the bomb key changes the song instead of setting of a bomb though.
