Gyrostarr is awsome well worth the 700 Points.

Gyrostarr

Gyrostarr is surprisingly great! It feels kind of like the bonus stages from MDK, Earthworm Jim, Wild 9 and Sonic the Hedgehog mixed in with Wipeout. So obviously everyone should be into it. And for the small price of 7 bucks you've got no reason to not download it. (Don't list any reasons, please)
