OK, I just tried out the demo, and can easily say this is NOT worth $25!

1. The sound is horrible. Cool background music, but umm... no explosion sounds? do these guys in space just fall apart?
The weapon sounds are not powerful sounding at all. even with headphones it sounds like a pea shooter.

2. The 3d culling is horrible. How about a "space fog" or something
for the rocks in the distance to appear out of rather than just APPEAR
a few polys at a time? I KNOW the 2700g can do some sort of fog, b/c
there was an example 3d shooter (can't remember the name) that did it
flawlessly (and for free).
3. The guns shoot through the meteors and wierd structures? How is this possible?
4. The bosses... you just arrive after a few seconds of playing the "level", only realizing you arrived at him b/c a boss' life appears on the right hand side of the screen.

I'm sure there are other things, but this game looks like beta to me.

How about a polished product for $25!!

Journey to Arvale was much better(although, understandably not 3d) and only $20.
