Pretty sure? Do you have anything at all to back up your bashing of the game?

Well there is the whole... codemasters sucks thing. It's a problem when your company peaked during the commodore 64 era.

"Vertical shooter" is supposed to mean like... Xevious or something. This game doesn't look like Xevious.

Vertical shooters is an old term for games that are like that. With the ship and you fly around kinda on rails blasting enemies until you reach the end of the screen.

Xevious, 1942 and stuff like that.

Codemasters is the publisher of the game. The actual developer of the game is Blue Omega. Before bashing a game at least take the time to actually know who's developing it.

Oh and because they mention vertical shooter and it doesn't look like Xevious that means it's going to suck? Real nice logic you have there.

No the point is that it isn't a vertical shooter. So they've thrown vertical in there for no discernable reason.

Vertical Shooter is a 2-d scrolling game. The "huge open" parts confirm it isn't a vertical shooter. That would be like saying you have a third person shooter that features "great mandatory first person persepective."

Also... when was the last time codemasters published a good game? About the same as the last time they made a good game?

It's definitly a game you'd want to wait and see on when you combine the factors.  Does that mean it's going to suck?  No not definitly.

Is their reason to be concerned... well when it's put in the wrong genre right away... i'd say that's worrisome.
