Looks like Geometry Wars but with zombies.

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
I will admit that it does look rather good. However, it looks like a copy of a few popular flash games. But in all honesty I would buy it, as long as it was reasonably priced

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
Not bad for an indie XBox game. I don't really like zombie shoot-em-ups, but the video looks fairly presentable. I like the music.

But hey, on the bright side you can only respect an XNA game so much.

Well I do respect the 2 guys in the team who actually do something . 
The game looks awesome, they just have bad PR... and Mentality.

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
Looks solid. Can't say how fun it plays till I actually get my hands on a demo or something; trailers can be misleading. Art looks good though.
I'm fairly impressed, I didn't think they'd get their act together.

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
Hmm.
Visual quality is ok, but I wouldnt mind seeing more than 4 framed animation. I also like the fact that they seem to have gotten the flashlight thing right (I had to adjust my TV the last time I played a game with that effect).
I cant really say anything more until I actually play it.

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
It looks OK, but pretty bland. There's variety, yes, but when you actually get down to it, they show the same thing over and over.
I'm an altogether bad-natured Cupid.
Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
I think the game looks pretty good specially for a teams first game but by no means do I think this game is going to transcend indie gaming like they say. there doesn't seem to be any new concepts for the most part there are other games like it I would play it but so far it doesn't live up to all there hype.

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
The game is okay. But their "marketing" still leaves a sour taste, you know?
Although later into this they calmed down, stopped with all the OMG AWESOME talk, and actually started taking it more seriously.

Re: J-fail: Unstoppable
If it were coded with something else and lacked the flash (particle, lighting effects), it wouldn't be as appealing to people. It's harder to achieve this in C++/Ogl.
