I was really impressed with this game, and I made a review out of it! Tell me what you think, hope you enjoy. Thanks. :)

I also give my reasoning on why the price is justified and a couple comments on the nature of today's XBLA games, so~ yeah. LUV U DTOID *MUAH*

@Geoff
The people who made this (and Lode Runner), are very generous people ;D - I think you know what I'm talking about in regards to internet communities!

Anyways, nice review. This is a great game. I like how you start laughing, genuinely, when explaining the game around 40 sec. Also nice voice.

Great review man. From the video, I didn't see any slowdown, which is a staple of the R-type franchise.

I'm definately really close to getting this game. Looks like lots of fun.

Also, if its you playing this game in the footage, you suck. :)

Oh, Geoff, how can you be lonely when you have us?

Anyway, price doesn't become a big deal unless I know that if the price is high, it'd better have some pretty high replayability. Some downloadable games do have pretty high replayability, but not as much as some shoot-em-ups that I have played not only because I grew up with them, but because shooting the hell out of stuff is always endless fun.

But yeah, that was a fun review to watch, a lot of very cool stuff to talk about.

Looks pretty sweet, and a pretty good (but odd) review. But from the vid, you look like crap at shmups.
Also, Gradius or R-Type? I've always been an R-Type guy, but I make an exception for the Parodius series.

Great game, even at $15. Infinite mode was a great addition, as was being able to switch from 2D to 3D on the fly. Excellent review!

Oh, I was just making filler for the gameplay video, also to boost the point of toughness. :) I can get pretty far without dying.

I didn't feel like I got my money's worth out of this game, but that's more because I only played a few times before moving on. Since R-Type is hard as balls, and I suck at shmups to begin with, it didn't turn out well.

The 2D-3D thing is pretty damn awesome, though.

I'm not a huge shmup fan but I may end up picking this one up due to your review. The main reason being that this is the only review I've seen for it.

Anyhoo, good review boo.
