ETI appears to have passed on possibility of using the voices of Ben Afflek and Bruce Willis in this shoot-em up cross of the classic Asteroids game and the movie Armageddon. This is unfortunate as it may have actually created a reason to load this game up more then once to take it for a spin. In the unfortunate universe this gae takes place in, you are charged with destroying all the asteroids as they appear to be on a direct collision course with Earth, but instead of nuclear missiles you get to give planet killing rocks the tap of the finger and blast them into pieces.
Gameplay can be summed up in a few statements, tap on rocks to destroy them, tap on crates to get bonuses, tap on astronauts as they hurl past to kill them and lose the game. A fair enough aspect because killing astronauts is just not cool. This game premise is about as simple and straight forward as it gets, and with no power ups or coin collecting that carries over from one game to the next it can get pretty old pretty quick, but take heart that if you take the time to master this game, you ill have the thanks of a grateful nation and Liv Tyler will run across your yard and give you a great big hug*.
*As always, any promises, guarantees, or insinuations made on this site are completely conditional on the premise that I will one day win the lottery and can afford my very own cloning facility and collect a sampling of Liv Tyler's DNA.
Recommendation - Don't bother, Go to the store and grab Armageddon on DVD instead.
