Looks like this could be a fun game if it has an arcade feel to it. As long as there is enough content it just may warrant a purchase.

I'm getting a 404 trying to load the screenshots.

By the way, thank you, NWR staff, for the recent trend of summing up press releases.  Now I can decide whether I care enough to wade through the release beforehand instead of categorically ignoring all of them.  :)
