Hmm..looks pretty cool..

I'll have to check that out..........




I just took a random pic from the screenshots.

XBOX live compatable

it'll also make it to Ps2

Looks pretty cool, though that perspective above may be hard to play... still... looks worth keeping an eye on.

Looks kinda cool - but I've always preferred the less synthetic looking shooters.

Loox like a mixture of Silpheed (PS2) and that 1st GBA shooter (who's name escapes me cuz it was so good, lol) w/ a touch of Radiant Silvergun (Saturn) and just a dash of Gradius (Saturn). Also appears to be somewhat inspired by Panzer Dragoon Orta possibly? In any case it does look interesting and i'll check it out when its available. Thanx for the post Thereverend

Played it at E3.

Well...I TRIED to play it at E3. The perspective is really bizarre to deal with. You move your ship with the left joystick and shoot with the right joystick. Basically you shoot in the direction that an enemy is ON SCREEN.

Let me explain. If you're in the lower left corner of the screen, and in the upper right of the screen is a giant ship, you hold the stick up-right. However, in PERSPECTIVE that ship may actually be down a long tunnel away from your ship on screen, the game accounts for this and your ship starts shooting "toward" the ship in the distance even though you're holding up-right.

Kind of weird. I couldn't figure out the secondary weapons though (some kind of lock-in similar to Rez/Panzer). I can't wait until it releases and I get a chance to get into it more in-depth.

The closest comparison I can make is its like Rez meets R-Type meets Armada (underrated shmup/RPG on the DC).

My pick for the sleeper hit of E3

XBOX live makes it even more interesting

That looks weird Very weird. And it's on Gamecube....I HATE NINTENDO (I've got my reasons but we'd be getting off topic)

Scoreboard only I belive. THere is also a GBA release of the game comming, but it is sprites and true 2D. Anyways, there have been other topics about this. I give it about 1 more hour before KA comes in here about it.

I checked far as I know there aren't any
