Personally I think this game is looking pretty smooth - and for only 400MPs ($5) compared to the recent arcade releases this is a steal. Unfortunately it will be a while before I get to give it a try - let me know what you think! :) Official press release to follow:
While staying true to the original arcade classic, the enhanced “Missile Command” for Xbox LIVE Arcade has players acting as regional commander of three anti-missile batteries defending six cities in their zone. As Planet Zardon is under attack by an endless hail of interplanetary ballistic missiles from Krytol, players must act fast to fend off the missiles and keep their cities intact. Gliding across the sky, players complete levels by taking out all enemy weaponry. At the end of a level, players can earn bonus points for the more cities that remain and the fewer missiles that are used.
“Missile Command” will be available worldwide for 400 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone.

The new graphics are nice, but I find myself not really that interested. With all the other great games on XBLA this one just doesn’t have the replay value to be worth it for me.

you know I started thinking about this - everyone complained that when there wasn’t an arcade game every wednesday - but can we really keep up with all of them if they continue to be releases 1 per week? Sure some of them are not great and you can skip over all together - but essentially its a $20 - $40 a month fee if you pick up each and every arcade. Even if my xbox wasn’t broken I know I would be behind - there are alot of arcades games I havent even gotten to try let alone buy!
