Aces of the Galaxy is okay, but it's nothing astonishing. There's no variation between levels, enemies generally seem too distant from the player craft, which robs the thing of personality that it could have had with decent craft design, and it's utterly lacking in bosses. It's a bit like Starfox 64, with the best bits ripped out. Which, considering that it still manages to be relatively entertaining, possibly says a lot more for Starfox 64 than it does Aces of the Galaxy.
On EEEE, I honestly think it's pretty broken. Unlimited mode really is unlimited - it's very easy to get into a rhythm of chaining that allows you to play it forever. Literally endless. Makes the point of the game - high scores - absolutely worthless, unfortunately. The same day I bought it, I had a single three hour run that I eventually realised I'd have to suicide out of, because there was no sign of it ever ending otherwise.

That's what I was afraid of. The demo seemed to be fun but a bit unremarkable. I can just picture a game where I can't differentiate stages.
Ah well, after spending an inordinate amount of time with the Prince of Persia demo I will probably end up picking that one up instead.
As for E4, unlimited mode is pretty pointless. The timed modes are quite interesting, however. Revenge mode is a bit of a challenge...until you learn the uber-powerful Super-Hyper-Zangief-Lariet-of-Death. No idea about MP since no one is ever on.
