Byron has posted his review of Project Sylpheed for Xbox 360. Here is an excerpt:
Project Sylpheed has had my eye for some time, ever since it was first released in Japan last year in fact. It is the successor to Silpheed: The Lost Planet for the Playstation 2, which was a overhead vertical shooter. Project Sylpheed, however, is a much different game than its predecessor, featuring fully-free space dogfighting and bombing runs, much like Descent: Freespace. The games plot takes place in the 27th Century, 500 years since humanity had become a nomadic race who scour the universe seeking new worlds. The game features a broad variety of customization options for the players' craft.
Before we get into the current battle at hand in “Project Sylpheed,” we must discuss the history of the conflict. Originally titled “Silpheed,” the Game Arts-developed side-scrolling arcade classic of the 1980s has gone through multiple iterations over the years, prior to arriving on Xbox 360.
