Like many, I found the controls to be...not of the average. It does take some times to getting use to, but I found that this new title to be very interesting. Its definetly going into my "Will Buy" list as soon as I get enough pts.

 

Nice for a change..

As a game that is coming into a genre saturated by failures Shred Nebula definitely "shreds" that industry standard. Immediately upon playing the game you can discern from the gameplay that it is a complicated game. The point is however that it is not so difficult so as to make the game hopelessly obscure. It is a level of difficulty that rewards mastery as opposed to punishes incompetence.

The game itself is fast paced and diverse with over 7 different ships to choose from (including 1 hidden ship) each with uniquely distinguishing features.

Personally I find games with skill/learning curves reasonably steep to be of fun but do not be scared away by that description. Shred Nebula offers multiple levels of play in that each different ship is intended for a different type of player. It's almost as if there is a ship tailored for you.

That said, you should definitely try the demo first and see if it's a game you could get the hang of.

i got the demo this morning, and i will not be buying the full game. it just seemed to me that you had to use too many different buttons to do anything. i am pretty much old school. press A to fire, B to jump, etc. this game is just not for me. i found it boring.
