Can you play with one hand? It's official - Xbots in Nippon are perverts!

If it's region-locked, this review seems a big fat waste of time. How many EG readers have Japanese 360s? Four?

The Nicole Kidman penguin in Happy Feet had quite impressive cleavage. Not that I noticed.

I know. What happened to Konami. They where on top alongside Capcom in the NES and SNES era. |

So... the Japanese claim that the west is now usurping the east as gaming mecca and they must tap into western audiences, yet continue to isolate themselves by witholding perfectly marketable games like this.
Are they very stubborn/proud or just very very stupid? |

"half of the game's Achievements are dependent on your willingness to use the right analogue stick to direct a cursor and thereby cop a virtual feel of characters' 'special areas' on the select screen"

A two-page review for a game I can't actually get hold of... Cheers. Maybe should have been summarised in a round-up, eh? Although to be fair I can see the impetus in wanting to write about boobs and penguins. Incidentally, can anyone recommend a good shmup for the 360?

@GreatUncle
Ikaruga is awesome, and rockhard in an sadism kind of way. @muscleblade yeah, exactly what I meant. Capcom and Konami really battled it out in the past for coolest third party dev. Now Capcom is lord and master and Konami it's bitch. Serves them right to put all their people on one 6 hour cutscene (that was a joke, I loved that cutscene)

"how about Senko No Ronde "
Thats more like a fighter in a shmup setting. Decent but very shortlived. 6/10. |

... And we want an euro release for operation darkness, too!!! No, wait, I'm not sure we do, actually.

Sadly, I do want an EU release for Operation Darkness. I'm a sucker for anything turn based. No matter how shit it is. I'm still waiting for Culdcept Saga (aint gonna happen).
As for a review of a game we will never get to play, well I'm torn. On one hand it is interesting to read about the direct descendant of a classic like Parodius/Sexy Parodius but of course galling to know I'll never see it in an EU shop. As has been said many times before, this is Eurogamer y'know? I hope you review Dondonpachi Daioujou Black Label Extra when it comes out too. I'm showing that masochistic streak again aren't I? Edit: As for decent shmups you can get over here, Ikaruga was mentioned, then you have Triggerheart Exelica and the forthcoming R-Type Dimensions all on XBLA. Not too shabby eh?

I detest region locks, in ALL things. :(
Why are the 2 Japanese games I'd most like to buy on the 360 region locked to Japan? (this and Super Robot Wars) And the 1 USA game I most want (All Pro Football 2k8) was region locked to the US (so I bought a USA 360, but it is now a UK one thanks to RROD fix so I can no longer play this game). It saddens me so much they still do this. Its not like these games are ever going to get a Euro release as there is no market for them over here. So why code in the region locking? Doesn't make any sense to me. They just lose a few bonus export sales. :( |

@Remy
The Japanese publisher keep it region locked because they hope to find a western publisher someday that is crazy enough to localize the titles and bring them to the west (=licensing deal means more money than a "few" bonus sales). @Zero_Cool I hope you also love another aspect of the PS3 - development is expensive and a pain in the arse if you're not familiar with the system. That's why most shmups are developed for the 360 right now. In this case region locking has nothing to do with MS...it's the publisher's decision.

hmm. i'm not sure about this game. at least the penguins are still present and correct, but something about replacing the usual parodius humour and its various wacky characters with scantily clad teenage manga ladies just rubs me up the wrong way. it seems like a horribly desperate piece of otaku-pandering more than anything else.
