Thank you MS Games Studio!! This is my most anticipated game of the summer. I'll be buying two copies just to thank MS for bringing this over from Japan!

Not bad might wait for a price drop on it first but I like it.

"I really hope the companies finally GET it and stop with this region coding nonsense. If I know Japanese (which I don't... not yet, anyway) and want to import Aquazone, let it be my prerogative."

HEAR HEAR!

Microsoft seems to be confused and thinks this is a piracy issue.

Look, we are talking about BUYING legit games, not downloading or copying them.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for Microsoft to explain why not allowing me to buy and play games published outside my region is such an important matter. But I guess it makes them happy for some reason.

Ok game, but it shouldn't be full price. Is it? Seems like a $40 game versus a $60.

what a horrible game.

with half arsed games like this and Tenchu, it's no wonder the 360 is bombing in Japan.

come on Japanese devs, pull your fingers out and get making some proper games.

Did they do away with the Gold members get demos for the first week before Silver members thing? It seems like it. Kudos to Microsoft, I wasn't particularly fond of that policy.

I'm glad for any space combat game coming out - the last few were awfully long ago, so this is a must-buy. I don't care for thw whole wrapping, but the fighting was fast, furious and fun. Plus, they use the "Elite" (the old game, not the adjective) way of controlling the ship. Fun in boxes :D

Best thing to do is ignore the big gunships and focus on the fighters. Send your wingmen out to do their own thing. Your should have "match speed" set to "on" at all times. Don't forget to press A and B simultaneously to automatically face your target.

You'll probably lose some of the transports, but you should finish the mission okay. The game certainly takes some getting used to, but if you use the tools they give you, it's really not that bad.

i tried it. cant get into it. if it had been a 2-d fighter with these graphics sure. thing. space combat doesnt really work though. I do wish we got more games from japan. I love me some ninety nine nights.

Wow. The demo consists of a fifteen-minute long ESCORT MISSION. Yuck. The only thing worse than an escort mission is a LONG escort mission, especially an overly difficult one that's quite easy to fail right at the end.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Hmmmm.

I downloaded this using the backround downloading feature, really handy, thanks for that.

I played it this morning...

I did the tutorials, they were mildly entertaining, and went to play the main game... I think I tried it 6 times.... and each time I failed the first mission.... couldn't get past it.

I loved these types of games on the PS1 and Starlancer on the PC... but yeah....

I don't know what the problem is, but when a game is that difficult for a person, I tend to think it's a problem with the game design.

On the flip side, the CG scenes are nice, the voice acting is competent {Will there be a Japanese dub option in the final game, like Ninja Gaiden?}.

The demo rocks! Go here for a developer walkthrough of a lot of the features:

Lot's of footage here:

Highly suggest you go thru the tutorial missions also, or else you'll be missing out on most of the features.

Major - is Ikaruga still coming to Xbox Live?

About time a _NEW_ and modern 3-D space combat shooter is coming out. I enjoyed the demo. Its fast paced, arcade-like, and simple. It also strays away from the FPS mainstream games. =)

And with Mass Effect, Too Human, and Virtua Fighter 5... etc. releasing this summer, I'm happy I own an Xbox 360.
