Square Enix and Microsoft's sci-fi shooter Project Sylpheed has popped up on Xbox Live Marketplace in demo form, all set to occupy 613MB of friendly space.
Due out in the US on 10th July and listed by UK retailers for 29th June, Project Sylpheed is a Game Arts-developed single-player shoot-'em-up with a noisy website.
In taking the leap from one niche genre to another, Project Sylpheed still retains much of the style of its predecessor. Everything from the gently garish glowing colour schemes to the thick, syrupy feel of space is in place.
The overall aesthetic of this newest game is largely familiar, right down to the babbling radio chatter that fills the background, keeping to the feel of its forefathers. Most of the ships are identical, and even some of the explosions from the PlayStation 2 version of the lumbering shmup have made it through to the newest incarnation of the Silpheed universe.
Its strange as I looked at the back cover I had to look again as I read the following:
'This games does NOT support Xbox Live' I was shocked!
Then I remembered some content came out recently that now adds Live support with extra stuff and online leader board - I guess which is good.
But I thought ALL games on the 360 had to support Xbox Live?? Maybe after talks with Square Enix Microsoft must have given them a solution to just add leaderboards lol.
All the Project Sylpheed achievements you could ever want.
Microsoft Game Studios' have released six brand-new super weapons and six missions to your collection. You can download the content below via Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace (New Arrivals)
I really want this game, I loved the Demo, but I'm saving up for this Holiday, there's too many blockbusters in Q3 and Q4 that I do not want to miss out on.
