Vivendi Games, has released Aces of the Galaxy™, a high octane, retro-arcade 3D
space shooter for Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft and for PC via download. Aces of the Galaxy
thrusts players into the midst of an epic kill or be killed space battle. Set in
stunning, fast-moving environments the chaotic, take-on-all comers action
redefines the old-school shooter.
“Players will love how fast and frantic the action gets and the fantastic
visuals will really set the game apart from the pack,” said Nicole Perez, vice
president of marketing, Sierra Online. “The overall intensity of Aces of the
Galaxy, including some wild multiplayer action offer players some of the best
arcade-style gameplay on Xbox LIVE Arcade.”
In the Aces of the Galaxy game, players quickly navigate vast, colorful space
environments while blasting through onslaughts of enemy ships, dodging asteroids
and other terrestrial hazards, avoiding too many damaging hits to their space
ship in a frenetic fight for survival. Players take control of the powerful gun
turret on an AI-driven spaceship, utilizing the reticule and a fast trigger
finger to vaporize wave after wave of enemies. The game features dramatic and
strategic effects, including an intense bullet-time feature that slows down the
oncoming hordes of enemy ships and dazzling warp zones that propel players
through space at the speed of light.
Aces of the Galaxy features many different levels and multiple crossroads that
enable players to choose among branching paths, providing a choice of
experiences while progressing through the game. Players can take on a mass of
enemies in a single-player game or team up with a buddy in the co-operative
multiplayer mode both online and off.
The Aces of the Galaxy game is rated E10+ and is available on Xbox LIVE®
Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft
for 800 Microsoft points. For more information visit Acesofthegalaxy.com. The
