Totally 360 writes: "1942: Joint Strike is a pretty faithful recreation of the arcade classic, although it is not a port. You can either choose to go through the campaign by yourself or hook up with a friend to try and fly through the campaign. The game runs seamlessly with no frame rate issues at all for both single as well as multiplayer. The game is also in a high definition widescreen format, which means there won't be any borders on each side of the game like in some past retro titles.
When you start the game you are greeted with the option of either starting off a single player game or an Xbox Live game. There are also leader boards in this game as well so you can see how you stack up against other players around the world. There are of course achievements to be earned in this title as well."

There have been many games, like Ikaruga, that have tried to change up gameplay mechanics, but most of the time the games always fall back onto the genre's core style. This isn't a bad thing though. It allows the player to reminisce about all the games of this genre that have came before it."
