Gunstorm II
Gunstorm II, from Cornutopia, was released a few days ago. It’s a 360° shooter that utilizes a control scheme similar to Asteroids, however I would recommend using the Follow the Cursor mode. The game can then be controlled mainly with the mouse, left button to fire and right button to thrust, though you’ll still need the keyboard to switch weapons.
The game, while a decent effort, just takes too long to get going for my taste. It seems very slow paced for the first 10 or so levels, at which point it seems you’ve only seen a few types of enemies and the same terrain each time. I suppose I’m a bit biased as I don’t generally like this type of shooter, so your impression may be different. Interestingly enough, though, the game has its own theme song… which is still running through my head.
