SFX360 previews Duality ZF.

Latest preview of Duality ZF by Buzzkiller of SFX360.  Some highlights:

This Summer, schmups (shoot'em ups) as you know it on Xbox Live Community Games will change forever. Xona Games presents Duality ZF, a top-down 2D shooter featuring some of the most intense action ever seen.

The best part about Duality ZF has to be local multiplayer. Up to four players can control eight ships in dual play. Just think about how many shots that would be on the screen.

If for some reason one of your teammates is shot down, then that person's power-ups will be split amongst the other players and the down player(s) can be revived at the start of the next stage...

Duality ZF is our upcoming dual play Xbox 360 Shoot'Em Up*.  Price: 400 Microsoft Points.  Release date:  Summer 2009.

*Also known as: Shmup and 2D Shooter

About the Author:  I am Matthew Doucette of Xona Games, an award-winning, team-of-two indie studio concentrating on "intense retro" games (Xbox LIVE, PSN, WiiWare, and Windows PC). We've released Decimation X (XBLIG), a 1-4 player shmup, #1 best selling and #1 top rated XBLIG in Japan. We're working on Duality ZF (XBLA), a groundbreaking 1-4 player shmup, which placed #1 in Canada and #5 in the world in Microsoft's Dream Build Play 2010 contest. It features dual play, the ability to control two fighters at once, and a massively upgradable 32-stage spread/laser weapon system. 4 player dual play allows up to eight fighters at once.  Many of these features are never before seen shoot'em up firsts. Both games feature beautiful electronic Imphenzia soundtracks.  Help spread the word with our official dualityzf.com and decimationx.com websites.

P.S. Watch out for Score Rush (official website scorerush.com), another 1-4 player shmup. Coming soon to XBLIG.
