[quote name='DrUnkAgAIn']Got this for free a couple years ago during those XBL troubles. It's really not that great.[/QUOTE]
guess i already changed my mind then, thanks.
[quote name='AFarewell2Arms']Same here. Just one of those dozens of XBLA games that were the exact same as Geometry Wars. Now it's all tower defense games. Blah.[/QUOTE]
I remember everyone played this for one day during the free offer. Since then I haven't seen anyone online booting it up. It's pretty bad when they gave it away for free and they still can't get people to play it online. I doubt I'll ever get back to it again, either - played it for a bit and didn't find it any fun.
Yeah ... this is worth "Free" and not much else ... save your $5 ... that new car game that just came out is pretty sweet ... put it towards that ... or the MW2 map pack ... or something. But this game isn't worth it ... even on sale. I got it for free and still never play it ... it's just not a great game ... it's alright ... but not worth the money.
I don't think Undertow is as bad as everyone likes to say; it is a fun game and it is fun to play with some buddies. $5 is not a bad price for those who missed out on its short freebie weekend years ago.
I didn't think the game was that bad, but the online seems to be completely dead now. I can't never get into a game so if you're going to buy it bear that in mind.
The single player mode isn't that good. I liked the multiplayer, but it's absolutely dead online. It was pretty fun when it was free, because there were actually a couple games going on.
Like most here, i got it for free and dint really enjoy it. On a positve note though, i thought the production value in the cutscenes was high quality.
[quote name='reininop']??? This game is nothing like Geometry wars.[/QUOTE]
It's a dual stick shooter. How is it not like Geometry Wars? Yes, Geometry Wars is way better, but it doesn't change the fact that Undertow (along with several other games) tried cashing in on the whole shooter arcade game deal.

That's like saying Halo is like ARMA. I mean they're both like FPS's with guns n stuff, amirite?

What I am saying is that there was a flood of dual stick arcade shooters trying to capitalize on what Geometry Wars did, and Undertow is one of those games.

Can't beat that logic.
