Considering the glut of omni-directional shooters currently clouding our digitally distributed sky, we hope Novastrike can at least match the genre's top dogfighters. Make it like that one with the colorful shapes, or the one with the asteroids, please.

This is F*CKING SWEET!!!
SONY PLEASE BRING BACK SOME MORE OVERHEAD SHOOTERS!!
And while your at it, please bring back the arcade classics!! QBert and Mortal Kombat2 weren't enough. I need to get my Pac-Man freak on.
And Nintendo while your at it....how about releasing an arcade perfect Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr....the NES version of DK was nice, but I want the real deal, without having to go to some shady ROM site. I would easily pay $5 for an arcade perfect version.

It looks kinda cool but that shooting sound is annoying. Sounds like a cheap ass toy machine gun.

I do miss the days of top down shooters. SuperStar Dust and Blast Factor were ok, but I miss a good top down shooter.

I think it looks ok, not spectacular, but ok. I totally agree that the sound effects need to be stepped up a lot. If this thing was shaking my floor with explosions, it would be a whole different ballgame. Too many games skimp on the sound, and are worse off for it, and improving the sound is both easy and cheap.

Why are there so many of these games? Try making something innovative for a change. I don't understand how people can keep sucking this crap up.

It looked incredibly repetitive, and the video didn't manage to demonstrate the addictiveness factor old-school games tend to have.

planes are too small...reminds me of Crimsonland. If they can't get something to stuff the screen, they should make it look bigger.
Or maybe make a scrolling one...in this genre PSN already have Stardust HD and Everyday Shooter which are very difficult to compete with.
