Aegis Wing has the benefit of lowered expectations right off the bat - it was made by interns and is being offered for free. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if it wasn't very good, and no one would feel burned for spending their hard-earned money on it. At the same time, some of the best games and mods of recent years were born from the minds of dedicated amateurs, so Aegis Wing has the benefit of lowered expectations right off the bat - it was made by interns and is being offered for free. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if it wasn't very good, and no one would feel burned for spending their hard-earned money on it. At the same time, some of the best games and mods of recent years were born from the minds of dedicated amateurs, so it's also fairly easy to hope that AW will be something special. It's not quite the latter - the graphics are fairly simple, and the lack of variety in enemy craft can be a bit off-putting, it is, at the very least, a lot of fun. It is a throwback to old-school shooters, with a nice twist on multiplayer - players can either operate two to four ships independently, or lock them together.

One player becomes the pilot, while the other(s) control turrets capable of shooting in a 360 degree arc. Each ship, even when linked, can take damage and gain power-ups independently, and when linked, special weapons can be employed in tandem to great effect.

When special weapons are used, they take on the hue of the player craft that fired them, and if they're used in unison, these combine (for instance, if the red and blue ships are linked and use shields simultaneously, the resulting shield is purple). When ships are linked, the pilot has to be aware of which linked ship has which power-up or needs health in order to properly place that attached ship to intercept the power-up icons, leading to some very careful and fun maneuvering. There are very few unique enemy ship types. In fact, the boss ships (an area where old-school shooters typically showed a lot of creativity) all seem to be based on one recurring model. This doesn't detract from the fun, but it does serve to remind the player of the game's student-project lineage.

It's also significantly less fun to play in single-player mode. Still, with a friend or three playing along, it's a simple, satisfying, fun time that's well worth the time to download. Because it was free I was expecting the worst, but after playing it I was shocked by how good it was. It's not great, it won't keep you hooked for a long period of time but it's a fun little shooter. I first played with a friend on multiplayer, and was amazed when I found out that all four ships could link together with each person controlling their gunfire independently.

But the game only has six levels, so the fun is short lived. But for free you can't complain. But I suspect that if they make a part two they will bring more to the table.

Well done little side scrolling shooter. In case you didn't know, that genre of game tends to be very challenging. Either that or terribly boring, but this game is the former. So be warned. If you're not a big player of this type of game, you won't be able to beat the first level, you'll quit, cry yourself to sleep and never play again.

So it's worth trying, even though most people who download will play it for less than the time of a demo anyways. I don't expect much from a free game. The plot's very basic, the controls are what you'd expect from a horizontal shoot-em-up, and there are a few features that are interesting (you have a health bar, power-ups have limited use, etc.). However, everything else about this game reminds you that this IS a free game.

The backgrounds are uninteresting, the enemies are your basic fly-in-formation enemies, music's nothing special and it's fairly short (as to be expected from shooters of this type). For a free game, it's decent, but there are far better shooters on XBLA. Only die-hard shoot-em-up fans should bother with this game.

KatAegis Wing is part of a long line of side-scrolling spaceship shooters, resembling Gradius with a heavy emphasis on co-op. Up to four players fly around in colored spaceships, “docking” ships together to give special attacks an additional boost. This also may be the freest co-op game around, potentially perfect for the economy crunch!Games that are molded from familiar classics, tend to require a bit of originality lest they get stale. Docking ships in co-op mode sets Aegis Wing apart, allowing the second, third and even fourth player to attach to a single ship. This is nice, since one player controls the bundle of ships while shooting in a straight line, allowing additional players can shoot baddies behind, above, below – basically any direction, which has not been attempted before.Aegis Wing is an original twist on a very familiar sci-fi side scrolling genre, requiring co-op for maximum enjoyment.

As Kat told you, players can dock ships together in the co-op mode to allow for cover fire in all direction. Docking also stacks the secondary weapons you pick up. For instance two docked ships will launch a fairly decent sized laser beam, but four will simply obliterate anything in front of your team. The best part is, each person still has control over their individual weapons, so one player can cover everyone with a shield while another is firing heat seeking missiles, and another launch clouds to suck up bullets. It works extremely well, and the penalty for docking is minor - the host ship slows down with every ship attached. The Co-Op Experience: Aegis Wing is a side-scrolling space combat game reminiscent of classic eighties arcade hits. It features alien-busting action, slick graphics, an orchestral soundtrack, and devastating power-ups.Also included is a unique cooperative mode of play in which up to three additional players can 'attach' to the leader's ship and become independent, 360-degree gun turrets.Best of all, Aegis Wing is available as a free download from Xbox LIVE® Arcade to all Gold and Silver members!
