Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

OK Who's reviewing this game? Did they even play the actual game or just the demo? Well maybe just not fans. That said this is a fine game and extremely frenzied with non stop cosmic fire fighting action. It's in space so you can't expect a lot from level design, its...space dummy, there's nothing in space. But wow the ships look really nice and have a Gundam feel for those who remember.
The story is fair but contrived, and as you might expect poorly dubbed. I'll say the worst thing about this game is the music. what the heck is wrong with Square Enix? They use the worst, cheesy music that might make someone want to shove a pencil in their own ear. Bad music and voice acting aside, Project Sylpheed is a very well executed space fighting game. Truly intense action, fair levels of difficulty, and lots of outfitting of your ship. You have plenty of ways to strategize with the careful selection of appropriate weapons, all somewhat predictable but fun nonetheless.
some people may find the HUD confusing, but given a little time and attention through the tutorial, its not nearly as hard as if you just try to play with out learning the controls first hands on. Is Project Sylpheed flawed? Yes. But it is also a lot of fun for those who like sci fi, or arcade like aircraft fighter games, and easily worth the modest price tag of $39.99 new.
