Another G.Rev title. I'm glad I held off importing this one. Cheaper domestic price ftw.

I wonder if it will come for PS3, 360, or both, and whether it will include the 360 DLC already prepackaged.

QQ: How many 360 shmups made it to the PS3?

meh. It's a really, really pretty game. But not a great one. And you can't really play it for scoring since it doesn't auto-scroll and you can just stand is certain spots and milk all day.

That said. Yeah. I'm glad G.Rev is at least is localizing stuff like this.

I'll buy this one. Always wanted to try it. Even if it doesn't end up being to my liking I do like the art direction.

Seems like two G.Rev shmups and nothing else.

Pretty much.. Unless you wanna count games found on PSN.

Is it worth the 30 or 40 dollars they'll be asking?

don't get me wrong, it's fun enough. And worth it for say under $40 which is what I'm betting it'll cose in the US. Not to mention there's online co-op, so that's something to think about.

The only major drawback is like I said, scoring kind of doesn't matter. But as a co-op run-n-gun it could be a lot of fun. And yes, the art style is really nice.

Yea. I'm in for $30 - $40. Which i fully expect this game to be. If it is more I will wait for a price drop. Online co-op sounds fun. :) Any local co-op?

Yea. I've heard about the scoring system. Not quite the same as milking bosses in other shmups but also not totally different. Scoring seems more fun to me in this game than in Under Defeat. We shall see! Thanks for the info. :)

Sorry for the bump, but I only just now started getting word of this. My shmup experience is pretty minimal, but I'm planning to pick this one up because it looks neat. From the videos I've seen and whatnot, the gameplay reminds me of Pocky & Rocky, what with the lack of auto scroll and all that.
