    Click here for press release flavoured info, and screens.

    All the video I've seen of this features you, as one of the EDF, fighting colossal monstrosities, across devastated cities. There's an invasion on Earth, and you and your team are the last hope for the planet, seems to be the jist of what's going on here. Spring '07...Not so long, then.

    The action packed arcade-style third-person shooter equips players with an extensive arsenal of diverse weapons, vehicles to pilot and loyal team mates in order to defeat a wide variety of attackers ranging from gigantic ants and spiders to robots and monsters standing more than 20 stories tall.
    There's Co-Op over Live, too.

    Looks pretty fun, a very 'b-movie-esque' type game.

    It looks like a PS2 game with PDZ-esque shiny textures.

    Fuck yeah! At least, it will be, as long as it's sub-£25.

    This game reminds me of a game for the N64, can't remember the name of it.

    To be honest, it does look a bit dodge. Might be fun though.

    It's great fun, if it does actually have co-op over Live it'll be better than the Japanese version, which only does split screen. It probably needs a budget price tag, as people will (as here) dismiss it for it's not fantastic (though decent enough) presentation.

    On a tip from the Bargains Thread I just ordered this from play.com for £17.99. I've always had a soft spot for mindless blasters, so I'm looking forward to giving this one a go.

    It has deathmatch and co-op modes also, apparently, so if enough people pick this one up we might be able to get some online action happening. :)

    Onechanbara - Vortex is chicks in bikini's riding motor bikes while fighting zombies with samurai swords. It's like they can read my dreams!!!

    Not sure - it was mentioned in the Team XBOX review that the facility was there, but no other details were given that I could see.

    Although play.com are showing it as In Stock now, so I'm hoping the order will get here by the weekend. :)

    My friend in Philly says I *must* buy this game. I wonder if it'll be cheap over here...

    edit: woo sub £20. I think I'll be trading in Tiger Woods.

    The IGN review makes no reference to it at all

    Hmmm. Interestingly the press release in the first post only mentions the co-op, and not the deathmatch.

    Ah well - I'll let you know what the deal is when it lands on my doorstep.
