The GameDaily One-Minute Review

2008 starts with a bang for Xbox Live Arcade, thanks to Omega Five. Hudson Soft's shooting extravaganza meshes classic old-school gameplay with outstanding graphics. It'll take a while to beat, especially with the ridiculously difficult boss encounters. The game could've used a few more levels, along with an online co-op mode. However, there's still plenty to enjoy, with unlockable bonus characters, online scoreboards and Challenge Mode stages. At 800 points ($10), this game's a steal.
