Got Psyvariar 2 today and here is my review :
Graphics : 8/10
Great visuals very crisp and clean , some of the lighting effects especially the explosions are miraculous , the bullet effects are not amazing probably comparable to Mars Matrix but they serve their purpose .
Control : 10/10
Flawless very smooth and responsive , there are only 2 buttons you have to use so its also very simple . I almost wish there were another function that could take advantage of at least on of the other 4 remaining buttons .
Difficulty : 4/10
Way too easy This game is really meant for score whores . The game only has 5 very short levels It took me less than a hour of playing to finish the game .
Music : 10/10
The score for this game is truly amazing , the best way I can describe it is classical synth techno its very refreshing and smooth and very fitting and goes harmoniously with the game, I will definately buy the soundtrack for this game ,if it exists .
System Description :
Well This game is a simple shooting game with one goal in mind ....racking up points . The way you rack up points in this shooter is by "BUZZING" now to buzz all you have to do is simply come as close to bullets as you possibly can without actually getting hit . this racks up points and makes your mecha gain levels ...... one of the key elements to this game is making your mecha spin ...I fopund that there are 2 ways to accomplish this ......(1) you can move the control pad from left to right or right to left very quickly or (2) you can simply rotate the control pad , this is the way I prefer ....I find it easier on the fingers once you start the mecha spinning it will continue to spin as long as you keep it moving . "spinning" concentrates your firepower to the middle and makes it more powerful , and spinning also lets you become temproarly in invincible for about one second while you level up . ...leveling up is shown by lightning flashing on the screen , and your mecha has a temporary glow around it ......I have found that this one second glow is offensive to enemies when it touches them , and sometimes destroys bigger enemiesby just simply touching them . The bosses are really easy ...for some reason I found the level 4 boss to be the most difficult , probably because I couldnt get away from the fact that they ripped off the queensryche symbol to create this boss
all in all it was a good game , I was not amazed , nor enormously impressed . I definately reccomend all of the hardcore shooter fans to get it , because its is well put together , and definately is a great challenge for the people who like the score aspect of gaming .
Overall rating 7.5
