Sodium One on PS3 Home

[killersquirel]

Has anyone played Sodium One in Home for the PS3? This has been out for a couple of weeks now and I haven't really heard much chatter about this game.

It's basically a new area within Home that has a main game (sodium one) and several mini-games (salt shooter, scorpios, and the scorpion stomp). You can play the first 5 levels of the main game for free. All of the mini-games are available to play for free. If you dig the main game, you can play unlock the whole game for just $5.

The main game consists of you piloting a hovercraft vehicle around an arena while shooting at enemy crafts. You can collect power-ups for both your weapons and hovercraft. The game is a lot of fun IMHO.

What are peoples thoughts about this game and also the possibilities of the new social games that this represents coming to Home?

I've poked around Sodium, and as far as Home spaces go, it's certainly one of the most ambitious.

The mini games are all fun, and I like the integration of tracked "achievements" with credit rewards that can be spent in the space.

I haven't paid for the "advanced content" in the space, apparently there's a tank battle game included with that and I haven't even had the time with my recent move to look into what Home users are saying about the quality of that game.

As a big supporter/enjoyer of Home I'm glad to see a NON-big-name 3rd party company throw development muscle behind something like this, there's NO reason that Home can't continue it's current exponential growth with more "game/reward" spaces like this Sodium one ... as soon as I get all my game systems set up again in my new place I'll be sure to spend some more time in both Home and Sodium.
