Console Monster writes: "With the release of Geometry Wars 2 on Wednesday, it seems the Xbox Live Arcade is starting to liven up. Today, three new achievement lists for upcoming Xbox Live Arcade titles have been added to Console Monster. First up is RocketBowl.
RocketBowl (or RocketBowl Plus) is yet another PC game which will receive the Xbox Live Arcade game conversion. The game is a cross between bowling and miniature golf in which the player must strike 10 pins with a bowling ball, but in a completely open area rather than an enclosed lane, with the other frames visible on the landscape.The list consists of 12 achievements worth 200 GamerScore and will have players working hard for the full 200. Getting First Place 25 times in a row on Xbox Live games will definitely prove to be a challenge. Here is the list:
First to First – 10 GamerScore
Awarded for achieving 1st place in a Tournament.
300 Club – 25 GamerScore
Awarded for getting 300 points during a game...."
SlicedGaming:
"The sheer lack of variety across the missions, in terms of enemy and level design, is the defining thing that sinks the campaign mode. After half a dozen missions of doing the same thing, the magic wears off. As you progress you'll discover that the story is pretty basic; there's no real explanation for the disappearances or any real motive behind it all. Plus, the boss battles themselves are pretty pathetic. Most are dispatched in the same manner, which vastly cheapens the experience of taking them down."
We had the chance to talk to the CEO of Crunchtime Games about their title, Shred Nebula for the XBLA
Justin Mette President of 21-6 and Lead Developer for RocketBowl answers a few questions about the game.
