Alright, we have the IGN review in, as well:

I really liked reading this review. The people who reviewed it obviously enjoyed the game, and will keep going back for a little more. They pretty much said nothing negative, and made it sound like a blast.

Has anyone personally gotten their hands on the game? I'd like to hear from one of you, as well.

Thanks, IGN, for the review! 8.7/10!

I picked it up on release day, but with work and the holiday I was not able to spend too much time with it....until today.

I say this with complete confidence, this is the first must have title on LIVE Arcade since Geometry Wars. I was very impressed with how easy it was to pick the game up, yet the depth I found later on. I soon became much more adept at boosting while firing to avoid incoming fire. I managed to coax my girlfriend into playing some coop play and she had a blast. For her it was almost an adventure game simply exploring the maps. Both of us agreed that the maps and design were beautiful. I have only logged a few games on multiplayer but I love how intense games can be, two teams clashing over a control point only to have one eventually overwhelm the other. Undertow has a great look and feel to set it apart from the crowd, and it looks great. The sound is top notch, the whine of a sub imploding is quite impressive. It continues to amaze me how good the game looks and it comes in under 50mg.

Congrats to the team at Chair for a job well done. :)
