The story for me the first run left me scratching my head in a mass of confusion, so what I've done is read through game faqs, wiki, etc. on the history and in combination of beating it once and now knowing even more backstory the games really gelled perfectly.
Yes, story is quite incomprehensible. Watching
game's director commentary helped to give it a bit more sense, but even after watching most of it it still doesn't quite feel complete. Thankfully Kamiya's next game (W101) has a much better plot.
After playing the Wonderful 101 demo three times I've noticed similar instances with what Platinum has done there too.
Yes, they're very, very similar. I even created a
thread where i talk about comparison between two games.
Okay, my own update.
Injustice.
Beat story mode, but probably spend a bit more time with it with missions and stuff.
Pacman Championship Edition DXIt took me a while to get into this game. But after i understood what i am supposed to do in each mode, i started enjoying the game a lot. Scoring system is kinda obtuse which is probably why getting into higher part of the leaderboard was rather easy -- not many people made sense of it i guess.
WarioWare: TwistedI thought i beat this game a year ago! Apparently not. Recent NeoGaf discussion mentioned some "Mewtroid" mini game, so i checked that and it's not unlocked yet in my game. So now i want to get it, but the problem is i don't know which mission i still haven't beaten: none of them shows as new or as unfinished...
Still it was nice to play it once again. Such a great game.
Fluidity: Spin CycleKinda forgot that i had on my 3DS. I never had with previous game, as with other Metroidvania-style games, i kept playing it no-stop until i beat it. The sequel lost interconnected world and i guess lost my long term interest. It's still a quality game though.
I was just gettting 5 stars on a few previous levels. Some of the levels are pretty hard to 5 star -- they're big and you need to do a lot of different actions towards final goal. And just one mistake and you can say your fifth star goodbye.
IkarugaPraised be Costa Rica, giver of free games!
I already have Gamecube version, but it's more convenient to have on Xbox (my wii is in other room connected to other TV). Of course, unbeatable price of nothing helps too.
Ikaruga... It's Ikaruga, man. Aspect ratio is a bit different but it's otherwise it's still the same game.
I probably should play it properly, constantly changing polarity and stuff and gathering chains, but i am just playing just as a regular shmup and still have fun. I don't think i ever got through past second level on any versions.
