On Xbox Live Arcade today: QIX++
From today, at 9AM GMT (2AM PDT), you can play Taito’s QIX++ on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360. QIX++ will be available worldwide (except in Australia, India, Korea or New Zealand) for 800 Microsoft Points (that’s US$10 / €9.60 / £6.80 / CAN$12.40 / AU$13.20).
Inheriting the style of the renowned arcade title, QIX++ allows you to take up the fight again in a variety of different ways. With customized weapon improvements, a technique-based scoring system, and events triggered by opening Item Containers, the evolution of the series has truly come a long way. The object of the game is to defeat the QIX using the marker. When the total area cut off by the marker reaches a percentage equal to the Threshold, your final attack begins and you have cleared the stage. Includes sleek graphics and cool sound effects! Reloaded with new features and a multiplayer mode!
Game features include:
