It's also fairly open-ended in that it doesn't force you to advance at a particular pace, although eventually the plot will be somewhat linear. There's not a lot of worlds to explore though if you're into that sort of thing.
Whoa. That game looks very interesting, and I believe it's almost exactly what I was looking for. But I'll stop my words from flowing out before I try it, though.

Oh, and plus points for arcade games in bars.

Thank you!

EDIT: Hmmph... I've never had this much trouble with the controls in a game... ever. It took me a few minutes to get the ship straight after I had started spinning... Uncontrollably. Very frustrating.

I suppose I'll get used to it, though.
