Doesnt look anything special to me. Infact, looks like a Wii game.

MIGHT SELL MILLIONS THEN!

Just tried Omega 5, and I like it. It's pretty much an update to Forgotten Worlds.

I don't want to pay the 800 points though. Sure it looks nice, but I can see it getting very little play time on the whole.

The only real downside, I feel, is that the rotation on the attack stick is a little slow. I never felt like I could quickly spin my attack in the other direction.

Now that I think about it... your character moved a little slow. I was caught twice by the large mech thing that jumps down from the background at you.

It's good, just probably not 800 points good.

I like it a lot. I really like how you have to make good weapon choices.
Alas, 800 points....
It's not a Peggle/Ikaruga/Rez no brainer decision.
With my current backlog, I just can't justify it.
If I had nothing else to play right now, I would buy it for sure.

I'm really enjoying Omega 5 so far, definitely my frontrunner to date for GOTY 2008. Great to play a shooter designed for 16:9 screen rather than playing an arcade port which uses one third of the screen.

So you'll pay for 5 levels that you've no-doubt played through countless times already. But not 4 brand new shiny new ones?
