Cool--let us know what you think.

Finally got this in the mail last week, and had a chance to play it for a while this weekend. I think it's a lot of fun but the controls can be frustrating (mainly trying to turn around and quickly navigate without letting my combo bleed out). I'm still learning (I keep forgetting to use quick-turn) but really the game is designed so that you need to memorize each level and replay them in order to do well.

I found that the difficulty settings are kind of useless, in the sense that it doesn't seem to make it any harder or easier to achieve the highest score. It adds more enemies and makes the survival segments more difficult, but I never found it easier/harder to get the highest score in tournament or single play when using the Reckless or Insane difficulties.

I would definitely not pay $60 for this game, but I don't regret buying it for $30 (especially since it arrived in mint condition). It's a nice mindless distraction but not something I'd want to play for more than a couple hours at a time. I haven't tried the online mode yet.


Yea--$30 is a great price. The quick-turn is a pretty important mechanic to the game and does take a bit to get use to.

Did you pick up the PS3 or 360 version?
