Docking ships gets you to a new level, after exploding a particularly large meteorite (Think: Death Star except easier to blow apart). I have to admit that the combination of having to dock ships and shoot meteorites out of the sky make the game play a little more challenging - but not nearly challenging enough. The meteorites aren't such a breeze to shoot down not all of them will "explode" on a first hit. In hard mode, the game is a little more interesting. Now, it's possible that the game becomes more challenging and/or interesting once at a high level in Easy mode, but I wasn't interested enough even to get me there. Every time you stop even if you didn't actually die (which is my normal definition of game over). In easy mode, it was so easy to shoot those spinning pieces of rock out of the black canvas starry background that I had to stop after a while with the idea of going to hard mode.
Lastly you can blow up bombs using the bumper. The area ships are supposed to dock isn't the easiest to fly to ship to (which uses the right joystick).
In addition to this goal, at other times you must navigate escape ships to a "docking" area. To do this, you also receive bonuses if you can manage to blast them out of the sky when they come around. Your goal is to make sure no meteorites reach Planet Earth. There is an easy and hard setting and you can also play this in two person so a friend can join you. You pull it back using the left joystick and fling balls at the never ending, never changing, rather slow moving meteorites. Your weapon is this slingshot device that has been upgraded with the best our modern technology can produce - laser slingshot device. So if you still care to know, it's a "skill" game. Or in Chewie talk thats, " teraejfhkw KSDRJETEKR asfhasEHE PHONE." You wonder how long it could have taken them to make this game in X-Large size for Xbox. Not only are the graphics on the low end, but even the way you access everything just screams MOBILE PHONE. What's worse is that even on a mobile device, I still would have downloaded this game and been pretty bored with it after a few levels.
This game was originally an Android game before it crossed over to Xbox, and it feels like one. (So, like, if this planet has a shield, why do I gotta bother? Can't I just go play Tomb Raider?) The Game Play (Gee, I thought we'd just hang out a bit. (Well, at least they didn't say it twice again.
"The governments of all countries gathered in an attempt to save the planet." "A devastating wave of meteorites destroyed the main cities on Earth." (Well, I wish they would have gotten to this part a little sooner. "A devastating wave of meteorites destroyed the main cities on Earth." They are just trying to make sure you have your game face on so that you don't let the entire human population down, is all.) (Oh, no! We never see those things! They are like unicorns, except for space). (*cough* Are you sure we are talking about the same planet here?) In fact, if I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure Chewie would have a few choice words for Axouxere Games, and I don't think they are nice enough to translate here.
