    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.
