I just downloaded the demo in the xboxlive arcade and I must say it is tons of fun. The play is just like old-school space invaders but with real nice graphics and lots of power-ups. It is pretty difficult so it doesnt get too boring too quick.


I recommend you go download it...

I just DL'd this title myself last night. From the brief time I had with it, it did seem fun.


Did you try online play yet?...I heard it was a blast!

Not as fun as Assult Heros IMO.

I loved it too. I cant get past the halloween themed level though. Later

 

[Damnationdoormat]

It's fun for a little while, but it's like a middle-of-the-road Flash-authored game you'd find on Newgrounds.com.

I would agree...IF Assault Heroes worked on XBL. Both games are very fun, but an online mode that actually works makes Heavy Weapon a little better value to me.

I enjoy Heavy Weapon much more. 4 player multiplayer is a cool addition.

I will come back to this game where I see no reason to go back to Assault Heroes once the main story was finished.

Assault Heroes is horribly short but it does work fine on Live.

 

[DaverJ]

I mildly agree with the OP... Heavy Weapon isn't ground-breaking, but I feel it is one of the better XBL Arcade titles. I'll take it over Assault Heroes in my book.

Best 10 bucks spent thusfar on XBL! I'm hooked on this game

Been playin it more than some of my $60 titles

 

[HorrorScope]

I like it. Reminds me of a real old 2600 game called Air-Sea Battle.

Well, looks like I'll have to give this Heavy Weapon a look, then. I used to rip it up against my older brother on Air-Sea Battle. That was the only Atari game I could ever beat him on...

^ The demo gives you plenty of trial.

 

[Cilent1]

The demo is nice, but 4 players via live at 12+ minutes in War Party is INSANE !

 

[FrankJ.Cone]

Its the ideal arcade game. Not too deep, just need to work on those rusty reflexes. I finshed it and had a great time doing it.

 

[G-Bull]

Okay, so I downloaded the trial. Fun? Sure, for about ten minutes. Does it remind me of the Atari 2600 game Air Sea Battle? Not at all. I guess I'll take a look at Assault Heroes. Hopefully it has some substance...


What pisses me off is the wii virtual console has Super Mario World or Mario 64 for only $8, and all we get (with a more robust game system) are crappy online-style games for $10. Face it, there's nothing on the xbla that you can't play for free on a couple hundred online flash game websites.

...on an HDTV with perfect controller support, Achievements, on-line Friends list co-op and/or leaderboards?

 

[HorrorScope]

G-Bull no reason to be pissed. Go get a Wii. For me personally I didn't care about any game on VC when it first came out so I definately don't have an interest now but that is me. Why I do like the 360 arcade games is what DaverJ mentioned but also you get updated graphics and more professionally done efforts then said flash games.


Why it remineded me of Air-Sea is because you have things on the top of the screen flying by horizontally and you are on the bottom shooting up. I could have sworn that is exactly what Air-Sea Battle was, maybe I'm confussing the game. What didn't remind me was the superior gfx of HW compared to Air-Sea Battle.

In the end I hope your ok with the download it was free and takes a few minutes to try out. I find the trials a no-brainer to always try, why not?
