Might be worth playing, the earlier bit on just the sniper was a bit annoying to see more of but the gameplay looks solid. Definitely going back in the catagory of grabbing the demo for it (instead of skipping past it completely).

Looks pretty fun, but I'll see if I end up willing to shell out $15 for it.

This is how I feel about this.  If this were a PC game with a decent community, I'd probably try this, but I don't want to be forced to dedicate a week to a game and then have it die.  For games I love like TF2, the game is just always populated and I don't have to "make time" for it. "
Yes, I too agree with this series of quotes.  I feel like this could be a really cool game but as for how long this game will be relevant to gamers is what will likely keep me away.  XBLA games, historically, don't keep players online for long... I am sure there are exceptions and maybe this will be one of them, but I am sure that they are few are far between.

Wow, looks great.  This game wasn't on my radar until I saw this.  I love the bright colours, the special abilities, and I love all the leveling up you can do plus the money you can spend.

I personally think this looks great.  It looks like a great combination of genres (third-person shooter with MOBAs). 

 

The key will be the amount of players sticking with the game long term.  I certainly will probably be into it for a while.

The Tank, for some reason, reminds me of Dr. Robotnik.

Must TF2 be brought up every time? Please look beyond the art style and classes(which are pretty common to games nowaday) and look at it for what it really is. A DotA clone but a good one that I will probably buy :D

Looks good to me, thought the video wasn't that great. I mean, the combat looks cool, but what really ropes people in is customization of classes, upgrades etc. That was just one map, one gametype, one class, one loadout. Hard to judge based on that (though it seems many people have?).
 
But seeing it in action combined with everything else I've heard about it, it's still a day one purchase for me next Wednesday.

So, basically, I can't play this game. Bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon. At least TF2 is better.

This looked pretty good to me... I'm worried about the online base, but I thought there was a single player mode also, so I'd like to see how that looks.

Looks interesting. I'll need to give the trial a download and see what it's like for myself first before thinking about buying it.

Looks like TF 2 lite with a dash of Dota thrown in. Too bad it isn't coming out on PC. Would certainly pick this up for $5-$10.

Looks pretty polished, but like most XBLA games the multiplayer base will be next to nothing a few weeks after release.

Eh, I'll play it for the week or so there is a community and that alone will make it worth the cost of admission.
