An awesome shooter with a unique shooting system while riding a Dragoon. Only Downside...the difficulty.
The game is beautiful for an Xbox game with interesting character designs.
The game plays like most rail shooters except you can fire in 360 degrees (by changing the camera slightly). You play as Orta a girl who is trying to find out who...or what she is she is rescued from her prison by a Dragoon (basically a Dragon but more slim) anyway the Dragoon has 3 forms Base Wing, which is the most basic and probably the one you will stay in the most...at least the first few of the 10 levels in the game. It has lock on abilities. Next is Heavy Wing a lumbering huge winged beast being the least maneuverable but the strongest one of the 3 and it can only lock on to 3 targets. Then there is Glide, the weakest but most maneuverable and has coming bullets in other words the missile destroyer I used this the most because of how easily it allowed me to dodge. Oh I forgot to mention that you can change these on the fly with one button press. The order being Base>Heavy>Glide. There are also special attacks once you shoot enough targets. Base wings is an all powerful attack that destroys pretty much everything. Heavy Wings is a laser beam that does a lot of damage in a concentrated stream. Glides is weak but recovers health, this is also the only way to recover health in the game. No pick ups folks.
Bosses are also very unique and all of them require strategy,timing and some luck to defeat some way harder than others. You will witness that yourself though.
Overall - A great shooting system combined unique and interesting art style makes this an awesome game to your collection but, If you don't like frustration or you don't have the fastest reaction times or having to remember attack patterns this isn't the game for you.
9/10
