Halfbrick Studios is going to melt your face off with this multiplayer, Asteroids-inspired racer, all for only 200 Microsoft space-bucks.

There's no shortage of racing games for handhelds, and it takes a lot of special to make one stand out. Rocket Racing's concept is good but not great and doesn't pack the fun factor required to make the game worthwhile. It's a frustrating experience that feels less like a game and more like a test.
For the small price it asks there's a lot of game in the package, but this is the kind of game that even if it had been free few should give it a second glance; it's just not worth the time investment.
Most games have at least one notable aspect of risk versus reward.Action games often tie that directly to the player's ability to quickly strategize and react. The yearning that humans feel to test limits is often known as "pushing the envelope". Rocket Racing is a 2D racing game built around that yearning.
200 MS Points? I didn't realize they sold games for that little.
This game deserves attention... I hope it sells well. I like supporting little development teams with good ideas
I'd love to play it in multiplayer!
What is 200 Points in real money again?
XBL has a lot of great games, good to see more coming our way.
