Rocket Man is a solid enough, relatively fun game that rewards persistence more than skill. It's let down by a number of creative oversights that should have been picked up in development. The scrolling, repetitive missions and difficult scenery really should have been fixed before release.
This is a hard game to recommend with games such as Smash TV and Geometry Wars on XBLA for the same price. For hardcore twin stick shooting fans who want something different, this is worth a look, but be warned that the stubborn scrolling is a real game breaker.
