    Have you ever wanted to pilot a spaceship around our Solar System and visit the planets? Now you can!
    Experience beautifully controlled free roaming 3D space flight like never before. Fly farther, fly smoother, fly faster, with more bullets and missiles than ever before. The Mayan calendar alludes to the destruction of Earth on Dec. 21, 2012. We are about to be bombarded with waves of Asteroids and we need everyone to help save the planet.
    So get on the couch, pick a ship and fly around our Solar System. Be the first to visit Mars.

    It's a shame, really. If it weren't for the camera/controls combination, Asteroids 2012 would be a pretty fun game. With less-twitchy controls and a more user-friendly camera, it would be an easy recommendation for arcade lovers. But even after (yes, after) an update, it still suffers from the same problems. Still, there's potential here.
