It looks as though just about everyone but Konami is willing to talk about Otomedius Excellent. The ESRB published their rating for the game today (a merciful “T”), with the usual smirk-inducing tidbits.
"It's finally here! Summer of Arcade officially begins this week, so to start off the great new content coming to Xbox LIVE Marketplace this week, Activision brings you Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD." -Amanda Dyar
As much as I used to love oldschool Tony Hawk games, im definitely saving my MSP for Deadlight.
VGBlogger writes: "Given the raging renaissance of shmup and bullet-hell offerings currently hitting on other platforms–specifically iOS devices, where classics like Rayforce and Espgaluda are reminding us of the beautiful heights of the genre—it’s impossible to escape the fact that there are plenty of better games like this out there right now, most of which cost a helluva lot less than this one. At its core, Otomedius Excellent is a misnomer; ‘Otomedius Meh’ wouldn’t have made for much of a marketing concept, but at least it would have been more honest."
GameZone reviews Otomedius Excellent and concludes, "Great for lolita fetishists, bad for Gradius fans."
Why would I want to play a game featuring characters who say things like that?? I hear enough of that in my real life.
