Sweet graphics for a XLA game, sounds, and ... stuff

User Rating: 10 | Omega Five X360
First, I love shooters like Ikaruga, Gradius, Darius Twin, (ah... those damn good times).

O5 is a good game for XBLA, i think its worth the 800mspoints i spent on it.

at first i tried the demo, you can only play until you reach the middle of the first level base, and...

I LOVED IT!!

the graphics!! are awesome!! personally i like to play with the girl, with the
blue star weapon (laser beam on level 3) man!! you can do clean sweeps of the screen!!

anyway lets begin:

Graphics:
GREAT!! explosions, lasers, shots, enemies, the first big impression I received was the big polar robot at the first mission, he cames from the background then he jumps to your plane and beging shooting at you.

the enemies are well detailed, to be honest, one of the best graphics on a game on XLA.

10/10

Sounds:
Explosions!! voices, screams!! PAIN!!! i like it, the FX are well placed, the explosions are very detailed (im listening the game on a 5.1 sorround system)
the only bad thing i dont like is the flamethrower and the water gun sounds.. they doesnt sound too real for me
9/10

Controls:
Fine for me, left thumbstick you control your character on the screen, right tumbstick controls the weapons direction, with the LT you get a big explosion to clear the screen or to do massive damage, you can only do this when you get one full yellow triangle and you fill them grabbing all the little purple ones.

with the RT, you can use a special "device" of your character, i only had the 2 basic character, i need to unlock the new ones.

witht he LB and RB you get a special evade move, but this drains your energy, so be very careful with it...

honestly i dont use it too much unless im full of enemy bullets.

10/10

Being honest with you, i loved this game, the music is great, and the characters are nice, the game worth the 10$ i spent on it, if you like classic shooter you should try this one, im sure you loved it too
