This is the quintessential XBLA game for me. 
Single Player Refuelled - Awesome - Really nicely balanced, sublime controls.
Multiplayer Refuelled - Fantastic - Not just some tacked on multiplayer it's actually really, really clever - Had some fantastic games with Paulos & Rusty last night
Single Player Retro - They've tweaked this - the thrust mechanic was never that good on the speccy one I'm sure. What surprised me most was I found myself playing retro properly not just for nostalgia - I'll be doing all 16 levels of that bitch.
Presentation wise - Massive grin when I saw the ULTIMATE Play The Game logo, the little bit of spectrum loading crackle as it faded to the title screen, the fact the title screen looked like a spectrum cover from the era (complete with artists signature & date in the bottom corner), the way the menus are framed in a classic ultimate frame.
