    If you're looking for a crazy-action shooter to throw you back to the most hardcore of skill levels and reaction times, I would definitely recommend the recent Deathsmiles and the infamous (and downloadable) Ikaruga over this, but Otomedius Excellent is up there.

    The game itself offers several technical improvements over its predecessor, but the overall package just feels like it's just... not... quite there. Breasts can only solve so many problems.

    There are online and offline multiplayer options, but extra players really only add an additional voice to help point out flaws and frustrations. It also gets incredibly chaotic. Suddenly half the bullets on screen belong to a cooperative partner and it becomes difficult to distinguish properly between enemy and friendly fire.

    I adore Parodius, and otomedius is just like that, a funny shoot'em up like we haven't seen since the Play Station One days! i don't like one of the last stages, but overall Otomedius Excellent is still an... excellent game and one of the best of this genre, along with Deathsmiles! I am grateful they brought it to the USA, and I hope more games like this one can be released here in the future.… Expand

    otomedius is a worthy successor to gradius's shmup greatness, and with konami's igarashi at the helm it couldn't have been anything less. it's fast-paced, colorful, entertaining, has nice bullet patterns to learn and a lot of different characters to use. as a gamer i prefer old school shmups such as this to danmaku ones, and anyone who agrees will love otomedius excellent as well, regardless of the fact that professional reviewers will probably kill it for not being an aaa first person shooter...… Expand
