It's not often that you run across a good XBLA with flair all its own, but Undertow has it in spades.
-
Undertow is a whole lot of fun, and it delivers a full size game in a small package. The classic arcade action makes it easy to pick up, but it manages to deliver enough depth to keep you engaged.
-
Undertow is a unique and addictive game. It really embodies everything I want to see in an XBLA game.
-
All in all, Undertow is an enjoyable original XBLA title. And for the price of 800MS points ($10), this game is a steal.
-
The content itself is rock-solid, and offers an absolutely unique take (visually, as well) on years of carefully refined multiplayer notions. Undertow isn't quite a must-buy, but it's easily one of the more sensible ways to spend $10 online.
-
Undertow is a good fit for the Xbox Live Arcade. The action is fast and uncomplicated, it has plenty of options for the single-player and multiplayer experiences, and the tight controls do a good job of making the player want to partake in the action.
-
Hardcore GamerUndertow is an obnoxious, aggravating mess that, while trying something clever by combining a 2D twin-stick arena shooter with team-based gameplay, fails to be any fun whatsoever. [Spring 2008, p.61]

JoeS.Nov 30, 2007Hard to find anything not to like about this game -- especailly at $10 and 50MB. I wish mre 360 developers worked to put so much into their titles.

AndyK.Dec 6, 2007The game is OK but the price is too high. A game like this shouldn´t cost more than $4,99.
