  1. This is the kind of game that makes Wiiware a worthwhile feature, and shows that good hardcore games can be made for the system in any size.
  2. Four players, over 50 levels and some addicting gameplay make this a game we love seeing as gamers.
  3. Gyrostarr is pretty, simplistic, and straight-forward.
  4. Gyrostarr is a high score game at heart, so the lack of online leader boards to compete with distant friends is a shame. Still, fans of arcade-style twitch shooters should get plenty of entertainment out of the game, and it's reasonably priced.

    It's a little rough around the edges, and it's a little easy at first (it doesn't really get intense until around level 20), It's a little rough around the edges, and it's a little easy at first (it doesn't really get intense until around level 20), but once it gets going, it's got a good old-school feeling to it where you sort of zone out & just react to the colorful enemies & explosions.
