Seamus the Leprechaun here, blest blogger on the netherly gamer.
Despite it's release in Europe on June29th last and it's release today in the US, the number of reviews available for Project Sylpheed are worryingly scarce, methinks the critics are all too busy getting ready for E3 which starts today. Incidentally I wasn't invited, but I did get a hold of the conference timetable. oh well!! it wouldn't have been the same without the booth babes. Where was I? oh yes. . . . .
Project Sylpheed is 3-D makeover of the classic, mid-‘80s scrolling shooter franchise. As Katana Faraway (. . . i checked and yes that is his name), players must pilot a Delta Saber space fighter equipped with a highly customizable arsenal of weapons. In order to succeed, Katana must execute squadron commands and monitor their speed, shield, radar and weapons as they maneuver out of challenging situations and defend Earth against the evil ADAN forces.
Scoring 70% from just 3 reviews on Metacritic.com
Reviews Summary
Project Sylpheed is a very decent shoot-'em-up, full of spectacular set-pieces and blessed with tight controls, but it lacks real depth
This game ably fills a gaping whole in one of gaming's most pure and heady genres
If you like space shooters then Project Sylpheed is well worth a look

I tried this game on the demo version. It's really tight and there is so much action going on that you can actually lose yourself in trying to zero in on the bad guy let alone your own forces. It's not your mindless shooter nor is it complex as a flight sim.
It makes me greatful that GameArts isn't dead and long forgotten.
(red faced the elderly spills the beans) I haven't a single space flight sim in my collection..... and I can't for the life of me figure out why? (sits in the corner....but pencils in Project Sylpheed in his must play before I die book).
I really like the look of this... Demo you say Timerunner? *Heads back to the Japanese site...*
Definitely reminds me of something, isn't it so oh best and tallest blogger of this very blog?
This would be a renter at most for me... Just not my type of game.. Still awaiting the new Ace Combat tho.
Trying to hold out till fall before I start adding to my collection again. Going to be a good handful of top games coming...

I was treated for GPS by my Doctor a few years back.. .so I might give the GPS a miss... the chance of re-infection I beleive is high..
