Starforce any good?

Space Harrier is leagues better than this crap.

Corbie, unless I missed something here, you mentioned absolutely nothing about power-up choices. From the screenshots, it looks like there are ripple lasers and normal lasers and whatnot. What about different types of missiles, like spread bombs and two ways? Are those included? Can you edit your power ups like you could in Gradius III? Or are there different "ships" you can pick from like Gradius II and IV?

Another thing worth noting that has gone unmentioned-does the game loop to a harder difficulty level when completed? (I assume it does since it's a Gradius game but you never know)

Nothing new to me...digital downloads have always been taxed here in MA.

More garbage from Aksys, yay!

Eh, not going to get it. It's just a cookie cutter version.

Eh I completely lost interest in the VC/WW stuff once the PSN started picking up. The WiiWare platform is pretty bad to develop on given the storage limitations. WiiWare will never see games like Super Stardust HD, PAIN, Lumines Supernova and Everyday Shooter. If only the Wii had a hard drive, then WW might have more decent titles.

You people realize the storage limitations have an effect on this service....right?

I don't think there is any yet.

ACR is awesome. However, I haven't been able to get online yet, probably because not too many people have the game at the moment. Story mode is pretty awesome for a pinball game.

More shovelware, yay!

@ Mr Cheez:
The Japanese would like to have a little talk with you.

Why is everyone so excited about a freaking pinball game? I mean, pinball? Do we care about that? Really?

Stop speaking for everyone. There are quite a few people, myself included, that are very eager to try out this game. Play the original and/or Devil's Crush and you'll know what I'm talking about. And if pinball doesn't float your boat you shouldn't even be commenting to begin with.

This isn't a negative review. The game just has its superiors.

Reminds me of Audiosurf.

Does this improve upon the original at all?

Sequel looks pretty awesome.

PSN gets this on Thursday.

I certainly wasn't expecting this, but after reading the gameplay aspects the score perfectly fits.

Too good to be true.

Yay, we can expect a Plattchen review sometime soon. Bomberman...that can hold off for me. Alien Crush please.

500 points for a tech demo. Nice.

Me. Want.

Typical shovelware game detected.

Maybe y'all should at least try Parodier out. This game has hooked people that aren't into shmups.

I've got the GameGear version on SMC+ for the PS2 (which is the game game) and I think it's awesome. The special stages and method of finding Chaos Emeralds are unique to the series, and hella fun. A hidden gem on the VC, for those that have some extra points lying about. Can't go wrong here.

Not impressed.

This looks like tons of fun, but I'll have to wait for the review.

Yes please. I'd like a new platform Castlevania.

Star Soldier R is an excellent little shmup, it's sad to see all this other crap above it.

Awesome game is awesome, despite its flaws. Wrote a review for GameFAQs. It should be up within a day or so.
