GameCritics: Bangai-O Spirits Review

GameCritics writes: "In certain circles, developers Treasure are still worshiped as near-mythic figures capable of performing flawless feats of 2D game design. The hardest of the core say the studio's name with reverence, and it's quite difficult to find anyone to speak ill of the work they've done. Though I do have respect for some of their titles like Ikaruga or the import-only Radiant Silvergun, I actually see Treasure as one of gaming's last sacred cows...from where I'm standing, they've failed to make the transition into the new generation, and the fact that they've largely disappeared from the public eye has granted them a sort of rock-star status by scoring few hits and then sort of "going out" at the top of their game."

HIGH:
+Having a robot for a main character is always a perk

LOW:
-Everything else

WTF:
-The utter lack of a difficulty curve: it's all just this side of infuriating.
