Tempest on XBLA this wednesday!

Downloaded the demo and deleted it just like Asteroids and the Centipede remake. These guys seem to love big annoying colored explosions, not to mention some poor development skills. I simply held the stick in an endless circle round and round and cleared a few boards before the demo stopped.

 

The only game as I mentioned before that I liked that these guys did was Missile Command. Other than that I haven't been impressed.

The higher rate of fire will do that on the first few levels. The same thing happens in Tempest 2000. That's why you need to select one of the later levels, and why the extremely limited demo doesn't do the game any favors.

I know, I wanted to at least play a few more boards.
