WhileProject Sylpheedhas been out in Japan for quite some time, the US version is just now gearing up for release on July 10. If you’re unfamiliar with this game, think of it as an off-rails space shooter. It sort of reminds me of theRouge Squadronseries with a little bit ofRobotechthrown in for good measure.
A word of caution: do not jump into the game without at least attempting to complete the tutorials.Project Sylpheedmakes full use of every button on the Xbox 360 controller, and you’ll learn this early on. But once you do figure out how the control scheme works, there is a lot of fun to be had.
If you are looking for something to play on this boring summer afternoon,Project Sylpheedis worth checking out. Or, if youare like Aaron Lindeand can’t wait to get your hands on the full release, take a look at the game’sofficial Web site, which launched earlier today.
