I was a fan of the original 1942 in arcades back in the day so it was great to see an update to the graphics and gameplay. Yes the game is on the short side, but that's kinda supposed to be the point behind XBLA games though, isn't it?
This game starts of promising, an updated look and feel to the series. Only a few levels for the game were built and I felt short changed when I beat it in under two hours. Wait for the cost to come down.
