    In Space We Brawl is a twin stick shooter with a fresh formula that nails the true meaning of fun and competition.

    A very nice "couch multiplayer" game, sadly with no option for single player (no bots!) and online multiplayer.

    Four guys have given rise to a fascinating and fun project, and with the right push and a greater investment In Space We Brawl could have been able to rise beyond the classic arcade titles seen on PSN and Xbox Live. We just have to cross our fingers and wait for a future update that fills in the gaps of a non existing online multiplayer mode.

    Sadly, about halfway through the lessons, the difficulty of completing the challenges spike, making the training far more aggravating then helpful. With this being the only other mode, the entire package feels feature light, even for a moderately priced downloadable offer.

    Having a complex customisation and battle system, means that whenever a new player comes along the first few rounds are quite dull while they learn the ropes. And by the time they've learned the ropes it's time to move on to the next game.

    Offline multiplayer may be increasingly a thing of the past, but In Space We Brawl isn’t anywhere near interesting enough to reverse that trend.

    If you loved Geometry Wars and you’ve got three buddies looking for some couch gaming action then you might want to consider In Space We Brawl, however, in my opinion, you’ll have more fun simply going back and playing Geometry Wars.

    Too stingy to give rise to large parties. Just for a drink, but at 12 euros.

    Local multiplayer like in the good ol' days, frag your (ex) friends and brawl on the couch in real life while you destroy them in the game.Local multiplayer like in the good ol' days, frag your (ex) friends and brawl on the couch in real life while you destroy them in the game. Ok, one thing that you have to know is that you'll need friends to enjoy it, and singleplayer content is kinda weak right now (with plans for more stuff in the future), but as for local multiplayer this is really great fun!… Full Review »

I waited until I could try local multiplayer because I thought maybe that is where the fun is located at but after playing a couple a games my friend looked at me and just said "this sucks". Yeah the single player challenges are boring frustrations that nobody should attempt. No online play. Nothing here is worth your time. This will be on sale for $1 during a PSN sale and you will be tempted but don't waste your time and money.… Full Review »

    The single player mode is little more than an extended tutorial that explains the controls through a series of rather dull “challenges” and most people won’t waste any more than ten minutes on it. The multiplayer, which is limited to offline only, isn’t all that much better. With four ships on screen it’s often quite difficult to get a clear picture of what is going on with everyone just flying round shooting almost at random until just one player is left standing. If you’ve gone through the bother of getting 3 mates round you’ll want to find something far more entertaining than this to play.    … Full Review »
