Revolver360 is a horizontal shmup with 3D rendered graphics. The poly count isn't the highest, but everything has a good polished look for the most part. All of the ships and enemies consist of weird abstract shapes. The unique feature of Revolver360 is that by using the left and right triggers you can turn the world around 360 degrees, allowing you to turn a curtain of bullets on their side making it flat and easy to dodge. It's an interesting mechanic for sure and definitely gives the game a feel of its own. There's a short game mode for quick bursts of play and infinite game mode that will go on until you die. The backgrounds during the game are constantly switching up and at times can be so psychedelic and bright it makes the enemy bullets hard to see. Overall the gameplay feels good in Revolver360, making yet another of many solid offerings in the genre on XBLIG. The game is currently priced at a dollar so you really can't go wrong with this one!
Final Verdict: Revolver360 is a solid horizontal shmup with a unique rotation feature. Well worth checking out at the $1 asking price!
