    Just noticed it's up on XBLA, had a little go on the demo.  Seems pretty cool.

    Don't know wheather it's worth the full 800 points though, may wait for a review.

    Anyone bought it?

    I bought it already and it is pretty fun.  It brings back some good memories of the arcades.  It is a very challenging game.

    I was going to until I played the demo. From the looks of it, it's not worth 10 bucks. I heard it's also a very short game.

    So far I've gotten to the 2nd level.  It's definitely fun to some extent, but I wish it had more of the same spirit of the original?  Presentation is decent though.  If you're jonesin for another shooter on the PS3, it's worth 10 simolians.

    I've got it for ps3. It's a nice diversion. Nothing super special. I wished it had been cheaper, but I didn't think it was a waste of money.

    I just bought it for PS3.

    If anyone wants to play co-op, add me to your friends list.  I previously added a bunch of people for GTA4, but none of them are every online anymore.

    I thought it was decent, but not worth the price.

    got it, fun to play with a friend, but it doesn't really feel to entertaining when playing solo.
