Sodium is pretty amazing (for an Home based game that is). There is a lot of stuff to customize your vehicle with, from weapons (repeaters, cannons, homing missiles) to anti-AA modules to auto repair and so on and every equipment you buy does actually show up on the 3D model of the craft. Very nice dedicated interface as well.
During combat u collect stuff to spend for upgrades and get new equipment every time you pass a level. You also get some minerals to be sold at the female robot shopper and use the virtual money to buy avatar clothes and stuff. There is also cool neon-lit furniture to be purchased (with real money). It's really packed with content. Oh, and there's also a minigame where you have to walk around in the sand stomping bugs coming out. :lol

Game is very smooth as well since it's basically played alone against AI (tutorial arena got me worried cos it runs like crap, but that's because it's built within the main area, with people around it), with some nice visual effects. You can't play the whole thing unless you buy (can't progress past Level 5 - it's 4,99 dollars). Which is what I'm gonna do right away.
Home needs more of this.
How the hell was people getting the reward items from Japan home with their US accounts?
