Boomerang X

Our analysis

A fast, frantic, and fun first-person action game where slingshotting toward your razor-edged boomerang across arenas never stops feeling satisfying. Tight, responsive controls are the standout, and abilities are doled out one at a time so newcomers learn gradually, complemented by a striking cell-shaded look and a fantastic soundtrack. It gets very difficult and occasionally feels a touch cheap toward the end, and runs are fairly short, but adjustable settings and new game plus keep it well worth the price.
