First (and last?) game published by Square Enix to be Xbox 360 exclusive, Project Sylpheed is a space 3d shooter that will without a doubt remind quite a few of the excellent Wing Commander series. Lots of excellent looking cutscenes, story driven fights and lots of chatter, the list of similarities is long. But I'm certainly not complaining! The gameplay is quite good, after the first few minutes where everything is quite confusing everything clicks and the flight controls and weapons feel natural. I'll keep playing and will do a second part video with more details, at least if I manage to unlock the next levels as the game is quite hard, even in normal difficulty. You all know how a gamer I can be ;)
You'll certainly notice that the 720p version is a 495 MB monster. It took more than 2 hours to encode it and I didn't feel like restarting again after cutting some parts of the video. So go wild!

Commented on 2006-10-03 01:13:13The gameplay to me seemed wierd and interesting.
Commented on 2006-10-03 01:45:40Decent Freespace is the far greatest game ever made in this category, I miss them so much ><.
PS it's fair easy to leaern how to navigate in games like this ^^.
Commented on 2006-10-03 01:53:28The graphics realy are not that great, but its definantly above what a PS2 could do. Not sure why people use those comparisons all the time.(As well as PS1 comparisons, which is just laughable.)
If your a shooter fan, this game is great. If your not into old school shooters, than pass it up, its as simple as that. The only regrettible thing is that there is no online at all in the game.
Commented on 2006-10-03 03:23:35Oh well, this looks pretty interesting. If it comes stateside, I'll probably buy it. I just hope that if it gets dubbing, it isn't crappy.
Commented on 2006-10-03 04:09:26 In reply to U_K_NarayanAnyway! Game looks like fun, and I love story-driven stuff =P
Since I won't be getting any StarWars space combat soon, I'll be looking forward to this one.
Commented on 2006-10-03 04:18:36But whatever! Looks fun and this matter! =)
I need play this game a little to decide if I will buy it...

Commented on 2006-10-03 12:21:12Sweet.
Commented on 2006-10-03 15:27:50Hope there will be a pal release !!
btw,do you get too fly only one kind of ship, and only the same weapons?
or like Wing Commander different ships with different weapons!
That was one of the best games ever, with the FMV and the story line, the alien battle just loved that one! and strike commander ofcourse.
