Missile Command @ Xbox.com; Game Far Behind?

Fri, 2007-06-29 03:35 — LunarDuality

I do not know how long it has been lurking there, but xbox.com now has an official Missile Command page up. Most of the info on the page is old news if you saw our coverage in November. (It looked nearly ready back then, I wonder what is holding it back.)

The page does list the game at the typical 400 MSP and with a TBA release date. (Don't even pretend to be surprised on either count.)

Anyone planning on picking this up? Anyone think this game's enhanced mode will actually be done well enough to attract new fans? Anyone? Bueller?

Nope.
I can't see myself dropping $5 on Missile Command. Atari's old stuff just doesn't do it for me, especially the trackball stuff.

Official Xbox Magazine Review

I had no idea this was coming till I read the review in OXM. They gave it a 7.0/10.

Positives:

Controls acceptably with the analog stick

Evolved mode looks good and spiffs up gameplay

Negatives:

...but only Classic mode offers same-system multiplayer

Questions:

Have nukes returned as a cultural boogeyman?

How long do you think it

How long do you think it will take the modding community before they hack together a trackball specifically to play this game?
