Yeah, but the "high rollers" seem simply to be masters at buddhistic levels of stamina, as the game quickly becomes "flying around in circles, hoarding enemies, shooting forwards and occasionally backwards".

The most interesting levels in Galaxies are those who have corridors in them. Since the enemies are all brainless drones, this shakes things up a bit. But otherwise, you´ll figure out after some time that the whole concept isn´t deep in any way. Still one of the best DS game. But not one I will play super hardcore for four months or anything.

FYI: I was doing some grocery shopping at today at Meijer, and found this with the clearance video games for $12.00.

Definitely worth picking up at that price...
