They're supposedly eh on the competitive side, except when they got lucky, so IDK. Aqua Force is shaping up nicely, though. Not really my style, but I do enjoy the concept. Gold Pallies are nice and solid.
I used to play a good deal, but between the fact that I only had 1 friend linking me to the group of otherwise... not sure how to put it people, and that person not being able to play for a while, just mostly dropped the game. Still have an interest in it, though, and I do follow it.
