Well after hearing two people bring it up, I just had to give it a try. Indeed, a nice reprieve from the AIDs found in harder games. Particularly in the form of plane jumps >: (
Also, salutations ScrewedUp. Tried to pull a sneaky first post on us, didn't you?
A game I've been wanting to play... and dear god how I've come to regret it (partially).
Game looked and sounded nice, some parts were neat and the bosses for the most part were fun. But oh dear god where there needlessly stupid sections, like the cloud area of the first stage, and the worst offender: the final level.
At first I thought flying around would be cool, until I discovered how bloody unyielding it was using a controller. Not only that, but the very last screen requires complete mastery, especially in maneuvering around the surprise attack of that bell-blasting bitch Suzuko. One of the worst drags ever in my fangaming career, and essentially a game killer to most. But I soldiered on and got to the final boss, who turned out to be rather fun and made the flying gimmick work. Plus Pochi, oh what a delight surviving him -w-
I know there's an extra mode, and more things to do on Hard and other difficulty levels, and I don't care. I'm done with this game, no more. Now to get back to the plane jump I played this game to get a break from, just so I can get a break from THIS GAME. Sheesh...
