How Long Is Aegis Wing?
Clearly, it's priced appropriately.
This review is for the Xbox 360 Games Store version
I don't expect much from a free game. The plot's very basic, the controls are what you'd expect from a horizontal shoot-em-up, and there are a few features that are interesting (you have a health bar, power-ups have limited use, etc.). However, everything else about this game reminds you that this IS a free game. The backgrounds are uninteresting, the enemies are your basic fly-in-formation enemies, music's nothing special and it's fairly short (as to be expected from shooters of this type). For a free game, it's decent, but there are far better shooters on XBLA. Only die-hard shoot-em-up fans should bother with this game.
2-3 Generations Past Its Prime
I'm not the biggest fan of side scrolling shooters to begin with but this one feels like it would have been a subpar effort even during the genres golden era. Some of the backgrounds make the bullets hard to see as well. Skip.
