The lads over at Bizarre Creation showed off their logo for the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title, Boom Boom Rocket. They also told us that EA announced the pricing for the game, which is 800 MS Points. They go on to confirm that there are 10 songs, 3 difficulties, 4 game modes and multiplayer. They say that they're happy with the price point, given all that we're getting for the price. What do you think? Should we be paying the same as we did for Geometry Wars, or is there enough added to this experience to warrant double that price?

800 points is fine. That's kind of the going rate for an Arcade title anyway.

$10 for a new game? If it's any good, it sure could be worth it!
The question is: Is it as good as 1/6 a regular game or 2x better than Geometry Wars?

I agree with Wii360dsPC. If it is 800 Pts, I imagine a lot of 360 owners will be whining that it's more expensive than geometry wars... but then again, geometry wars was a pretty bare-bones package... though wildly entertaining.

I wonder if we will ever see another non-retro title for 400 points again.

Haha. No freakin' way.
$10 for Thumb Thumb Revolution with only 10 songs? That's terrible. Does the gameplay include ANYTHING other than pressing buttons in sync with the song? AT ALL?
Even that crappy firework game from the ps2 had some sort of actual action gameplay with the linking of the fireworks and whatnot.
Seems like the pushed a lot of devs and money at a terrible game, IMHO.

It remains to be seen, since I haven't played the game yet. I hope it's not painfully short, with only 10 songs (which sounded like remixed classics) I wonder if EA will do their marketplace usual?
Here's hoping EA bucks their trend with this one.

If it were Microsoft published, it would be 400 points. But it isn't, so it's not. No biggie.

Geometry Wars was a steal. I'd definitely try it out before I'd commit to a rythm game with Guitar Hero II so close.

Only 10 songs seems a bit light.

If they made it possible to play with your own music, then it would definitely be worth the 800 points...

@4. Jeff Minters has said that Space Giraffe will be 400 points when it gets released.
