Platform for Display:Xbox 360
Fun:
This game is brilliant and it's a suprise that so few have actually played it. I turned to this after being bored to tears by Gears, MoH, CoD etc. This is colourful, fast, clever, stylish, and rock hard - even on 'normal'. It's a game where you are expected to die a thousand deaths before figuring out how to get around any particular boss. That said, no matter how hard it is it remains highly addictive and great fun throughout. This is a game that should feature in anybody's top ten.

Fun:
I ordered this game from [...] for [...].
The company are very punctual & trustworthy.
I started playing this game the other day,I have yet to finish the game so I can only go on what I have seen & played so far.
First thing to strike me was how stunning this game looks,the frame rate does not drop for one second,there is so much going on in the game I find this hard to understand how this is possible?.
I played the demo so I had some idea how it would look and play,although to actually play the finished product is a treat.
I am playing through on hard and I would say the AI are intelligent enough to make you stop & think before you go running and gunning.
The flow of the game is almost perfect when you start to understand the controls and the limitations of what you can & can not do.
The semi boss fights are challenging and fun,the boss fights just have you wanting more & more.
I understand everyone's opinion on a game will differ but for me this was a game I had to have & play.
If you like your game play fast with lots of things going off on the screen?then Vanquish is for you.....

Fun:
This game is like an old school 2D shooter brought into the 3D world. The action just doesn't stop and really gets the pulse racing. Admittedly it is a short one player game but the replay value is great; especially when you get more confident with the moves and start sliding under bosses instead of shooting at them from a distance! Good weapon system, loads and loads of action and some of the most hilarious cheesy dialogue in years (deliberate I hope). Games like this don't come along often and its a shame.
Fast, frenetic and fun.

Best game no-one played 2011
This game won the 2010 gamespot "best game no-one played". Directed by Shinji Mikami, it's a chaotic re-imaginined splicing of Resi 4 and Halo: combat evolved. Read more
