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

Whoever made this game or wrote the game script must be greatly inspired by Gundamn Seed in a way-- that is what I exactly felt after I finished the game. The plot of the story, the character, and all the battles are pretty similiar to what you saw in the Gundamn Seed anime. The only difference is you are not piloting a Mobile Suit indeatd of a Mobile Armor.

The genreal ideas of the game is good. It has descent graphics (especially when battleships blow apart),nice soundtracks,and above average weapons/stages designs.

Most of the fights are intense, but you got worn down after a while if you are not a big fan of space dogfights. You can shoot down multiple targets easily with the help of multiple lockon system, and at each stage you got tons of enemies to shoot at, from big ones to small ones. You got plenty weapons to choose from, depend on your fighting styles- Guns, Laser, Multiple Purpose Missles, AA Missles, Canons, Bombs.

However, the intense fights are jepordized by illy design controls.The lock on systems are bad, you have to activate it before you shoot a random target. If you don't, you will be flying blindly without knowing who to shoot at. This problem gets worse when you are flying in space, and when all your enemies are in "dark" color. Because without the auto lockons, sometimes it is hard to tell who is your friends or enemies. Even worse, to tell the distance between you and the target, you have to keep activating the lockons all the time manually as well. It is adoptable, but still painful and annoying.

Unclear mission objectives are problems. The main objectives are always clear- kill everone in your sight, but how about sub- objectives? you will never know unless you actually finish them.

The story is short, but well managed. So is the soundtrack.

This game is good, but should be better. If you like space dogfights, this is the game for you. If you are not, you might think twice before you rent this game.
