Difficulty Brings This One Down

Project Sylpheed has some pretty bad reviews out there, but some pretty good ones too. I was interested to see how i'd feel playing this game after i'd bought it and read alot of less than positive opinions of it.

I was dissapointed. Not in the same way i'm sure alot of others were but the same feeling none the less. I really like this game, It's alot of fun, It looks good, controls aren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be and the anime style cutscenes that give you story and motivation to play are beautifuly done.

Anyway enough of the positive, lets get back to my dissapointment. The reason this game let me down was it's difficulty. I started playing in the medium settings and i got half way through and i couldn't do it. No amount of modifying my ship could help. So i started the entire game again on the "easy" difficulty. I couldn't make it past the third level this time.

So i have just gihven up with this game. As much as i like it and i want to play it, I just can't do it. The one thing which really would have helped this game would have been multiplayer. Another game mode would have been greatly welcomed.

I know i really didn't go over any of the details of the game but this in my opinion is all you need to know. There isn't much story, the gameplay is repetitive and the missions uninspired. But where it lacks in these areas it makes up for by being alot of fun.

The only thing that brings this game down for me is it's insane difficulty and it's lack of multiplayer. If you can get past these flaws though you should definitely check this one out.
