Played the demo yesterday.  It is a very fun game and I will definitely look into buying this soon.

What the hell does "Pow" do? I don't even see that meter on the screen when they're playing.

I'm always in for some moon dive.
Looks decent, it also reminds me of a Snes game I can't remember the name of.

Were they playing this one right, or is it just Hard Corps they got fatally wrong?

pretty cool little game, I watched half of it then I watched TNT and forgot what they said about the guys that developed this, I just remember strider being mentioned. So I'm wondering what else they worked on, on the GB page it just says Lost Odyssey

This is what the Strider for PS1 should have been like, except singleplayer. For a post SOTN game, it wasn't very post SOTN -- unlike this one.
 
However, that is a shitty, terrible looking font in the level intros. I played part of a fan translation of Front Mission 5, and that awful font made me want to stop playing. YUCK!

1.  Extra long special animations for stuff you use frequently
2.  ambiguous or obscure unlock criterias
3.  repetitive locations and enemy types
4.  anime weapons that have all kind of curves and swooshes and make no practical sense

This is exactly the type of game Japanese devs should've been making for XBLA and PSN since the systems came out in '05 and '06. THANK YOU, FEELPLUS!

Diggin' it. I'm down. But I'm conflicted. I dunno how much I like the one and done of single-player, but multiplayer just looks straight up bananas.

Camera seems a little too close for all of the fast movement of multiple players.
