Well, what can I say? I'm a treasure fan from the good old days of the Megadrive, glad to see that the latest Bangai-O scores a 10! :) I have the N64 and the DC version (besides various other Treasure classics) and would love a translated version of this release.

BANGAI-O!
Makes me want to find where I put the Dreamcast. Good year for the DS, innit? |

Oh, this could be my first DS purchase since my Animal Crossing import!

I have this, tis very good. Best portable shooter, however would probably give it a 9/10 myself. Still great.

also guys this is seriously about as import-friendly as any game that doesn't involve cooking can be - you just need to know what each of the weapons does so you can select the right ones for each level, then you're golden.
i barely speak a word of japanese and i've had more fun with this than anything else this year. it's arguably the best thing treasure have ever done, and certainly the best action game on DS. |

As the world's biggest Bangai-o fan, I'd broadly concur with the review but also definitely advise hanging on for the US version in a couple of months time. It's apparently going to have more levels, as well as obviously lacking the fairly high amount of fairly important Japanese text in this one.

10/10?! Whoa, I sure hope this game gets a Western release eventually! :D

So this is the review with "the alarmingly large number at the end..."
I thought it'd be a review to something like Haze, but instead it looks like its for something alot more interesting! Just a shame it'll probably be another year before we get to play it over here... :( |

I can assure everybody that sooner or later a temporary Japanese-to-English FAQ will appear on GameFAQs.com. I mean - if a game gets such favorable reviews... Eurogamer isn't the only service that gave it a high score although as always the local editors are even more positive towards really strange and cool titles which is why I love this site so much. :-D
There were even FAQs for Apollo Justice and Professor Layton before their E/U release and these games make absolutely no sense if you don't know the language and get the solutions to all the puzzles in advance. |

A '10' for a game I cannot understand and will never "pick up on the jokes, or the tributes, or the experiments, that" [I'll] "begin to realise why Bangai-O is so utterly amazing"? That cannot be right. Perhaps the US version might merit a '10' on an english language gaming site, but this Japanese version cannot. Gomenensai to all the hardcore massive who might disagree.

"Any dependable reviewers looked at this one yet?
" Edge gave it a 9. |

Do you really need that much of an understanding for the weapons? It requires a small bit of fiddling but I've probably done half of the levels now without too much faffing.
Some of them are too tricky though, like when you shoot a blob and have to get to the end of the course before the end of the chain reaction. |
