Otomedius hits US Shores!

[shallowgamer]

The delays scared me, but it's finally here. I'm excited about 3 player simultaneous, but am worried it's going to be another frantic mess (anyone remember gigawing 2 4 player?)

Anyone got any first impressions?

I'm a Gradius fan [II mostly], so I would like to try it soon.

Here's the opening video if anyone is curious.

It's Gradius with scantily clad girls riding the space ships.

360.

Another reason for me to get a 360, is it region free? I need to get a list of the region free ones or just get a Japanese 360,I think it may have to be a tax purchase.

I got it in the mail Saturday. So far, it feels like another Gradius game, but the multiplayer is really fun and definately worth $30.

Bryan,

No, Otomedius Excellent is not region free, but this game has received a US release! Which is cool of Konami to take a chance with here.

PS,
Play Asia is a good spot to check region compatibility for games. They have a 360 table that is out of date, but if you go the game's specific product page, you'll usually see the region compatibility.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that this is my first Shmup on 360. Now off to get both Raiden games, Deathsmiles, and the region free shmups!
