Cave needs to bring over more Japanese Shmups to the states as official US releases, like Deathsmiles for Xbox 360. Pros: Classic shooter mechanics with wacky visuals. Some unique and creative shot patterns and bullet hell. Each character doesn't just look different, their shots, speed, and familiar companion make playing them a unique experience. Cons: Way too short, even with optional bonus levels and differences between the different modes.. it still feels like not enough. Would have really loved to see the "360" versions of the arcade port be full widescreen. Wish there were more difficulty levels between 3. and 999...
I was so psyched to get this game that i bought it and i don't even own an XBOX 360. i'm an avid gamer of this shooter genre and i'm going to say that i'm a little disappointed in this game. i beat this game twice in an hour and a half. you get unlimited continues, which in my opinion sucks, so you can beat the game no problem. yes understandably there are high score leaderboards on this internet thing we use but i'm not in it for that. playability of a game is more important to me than a high score. games like Gradius V and Ikaruga are rad games. hell even 1943 for NES is more challenging than this game. i do like the theme of the game which is Halloweenie. there are 5-6 different modes of play you can choose from. 5 characters. no upgrades (that i've noticed anyway) borrow this game before you buy it.Read full review
Really fun game. Well worth it.

Nothing too spectacular, but it isn't bad if you're interested in this sort of game. The artwork on the box and the faceplate is gorgeous, graphics remind me of old games I played as a child.
