I played this several times at IAAPA and man it is a blast. The huge screen really reminded me of a modern version of my StarBlade arcade, except that the computer corrects the graphics for the curved screen so there is no 'fisheye' type view. While the seat didn't rumble and there are no other effects, the screen and seating position keeps you so immersed in the action that some people had to quit playing early due to motion sickness (it almost got to me as well).
The game seemed fun for beginners but you could tell that there would be enough gameplay to keep those who want to become experts happy. Namco wouldn't comment on pricing when asked, but were happy to note the patents they have on the projection system and software.
