This is the kind of game that makes Wiiware a worthwhile feature, and shows that good hardcore games can be made for the system in any size.
Gyrostarr is a high score game at heart, so the lack of online leader boards to compete with distant friends is a shame. Still, fans of arcade-style twitch shooters should get plenty of entertainment out of the game, and it's reasonably priced.
Gyrostarr is pretty, simplistic, and straight-forward.
There usually isn't enough enemy fodder to go around, as the game is inherently simpler than we'd want.
Gyrostarr is a decent game, but it needs some polish to be truly great.
Gyrostarr would be great fun as part of a larger, more elaborate arcade-style space shooter set free from WiiWare limitations, but on its own the total package falls short of enjoyment and expectations.
Shoot, swerve, shoot, swerve. In space, no one can hear you snore. [Oct 2008, p.84]
