Has anyone else played this? I read about it in Game Informer and thought it sounded interesting. I've been playing the trial all weekend and finally got the full version. I haven't started into the full version yet, but the visuals in the trial are beautiful. You are a microscopic robot fighting a biomechanical infection in the body. You start in a syringe which injects you into the body. Cool visual. The environment in the body is just awesome to me. It has drop-in/drop-out co-op play. At 800 points it seems like a good buy. Looking forward to playing the full game. Anyone else have a chance to play this?
Edit: I guess it's also available on PSN. So a title edit may be in order?

It looks very interesting, I might pick this up for only 800 points. I look forward to reading peoples impressions. The teamwork aspect of it and the millions of options sounds very cool.

I bought it tonight and played the co-op with my son for about an hour. Visually, very very cool looking game for $10

It is a two stick game Ala Smash TV, you have four slots and you can go any way with three of the slots ie: weapon, weapon, propulsion the fourth utility slot can be something you activate with your trigger button like a link that connects you and your buddy making a connected cord of a type that destroys objects that pass through it. You can also make it a harpoon to nail enemies and pull them to you.

For the propulsion slot you can actually have none and go with three weapon slots for maximum firepower but with limited maneuverability. Or you can have two propulsion slots and only one weapon for high maneuverability and low firepower.

Very very fun game with great visuals, I can see it getting repetitive down the road but for $10 it seems like a good purchase. The two bosses we fought were very cool and hard to take down.
