Pete Sellers reports:
''When it comes to shoot 'em ups (or 'shmups' for short), I'm highly supportive of any title that boldly attempts to surface on any current generation console or handheld. It's a dying breed, in many ways, and there are very few folks out there who still enjoy the turbulent thrill of speeding through nightmarish amounts of bullets, while at the same time attempting to maintain a combination they've earned by blasting baddies out of the skies. It's a niche genre, at least in this day and age, but it's still alive and kicking (and won't go down without a fight (or at least a massive hail of bullets)).''
"When you think of classic shoot 'em ups, the top 2 series that likely come to mind are Gradius and R-Type so let's take an in-depth look at both franchises and see which one comes out on top." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
This game is a turn-based strategy game with a hexagon field, you move your units according to their stats. This game is by no means a pick up and play game.
The controls are not the issue in this game, the menus are crazy hard to understand and the objectives seem to be missing in action sometimes or disappear too fast for you to read it all.
WorthPlaying writes, "Atlus U.S.A. titles are always hard to find at retail, and is now offering a number of titles from its PSP library as digital download via PlayStationNetwork: Crimson Gem Saga, Hammerin' Hero, Yggdra Union, Steambot Chronicles Battle Tournament, R-Type Command, and Riviera: The Promised Land."
ATLUS should get its own PSN Publisher Store if they keep on pumping out games on the PSN. SO far, EA(EA SPORTS), Capcom and R* got their own store.
They should put Demons Souls on the PSN store. It may be a huge, expensive download but it beats never finding a copy of the game.
