What the Hell is going on?

User Rating: 3 | Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception X360
By Faroon | Review Date:
I found this in Zavvi for £10, and thinking that nothing can be all that bad for £10, and having seen some very positive user reviews, I stumped up the cash. I've spent the last 2 hours "playing" it.

I have no idea what is going on.

I can either control yaw, or roll, but seemingly not both, without sacrificing change weapon buttons, or something.

I can't really work out which ships are friendly, and which are the enemy. I certainly can't target specific parts of the enemy ships - "aim for the shield generator", well I would, but the rockets won't target the generator, will they?

Sometimes the big ship I'm protecting gets shot down, sometimes it survives, completely independent of what I actually do during the level.

Maybe I'm just too old to get with it. Maybe I'm not Japanese enough.

It's all a blur of pyrotechnics over which I seemingly have no control.

Jeff gave this game a 6.5???? He was way off the mark - it's a 3, at best, and that's if you're an android from Japan, with only £10 left in the whole world.

Just. Awful.

Avoid.

    I've seen alot of poor reviews for this game, and having a love for space shooters, I had to go and pick this one up. So, as others have made aware, this game is very painfully short. I think in fact, you can beat it in ... Read Full Review
