Update: August 02, 2006
«©NCSX» Sega's Naomi hardware has been home to a few worthy shooters in the past few years - most notably Zero Gunner 2 and Ikaruga. G. Rev's Senko no Ronde isn't in the league of those two powerhouses but it provides a somewhat challenging diversion while we wait for the next big thing. Failing any big things on the horizon, we'd be content with a home port of Cave's Pink Sweets. The Xbox 360 conversion of Senko no Ronde features improved graphics over the Naomi original and booming sound. The game play is the same however where two mech-ships face off against each other in a spinning ballet of firepower and special attacks that light up the screen. Eight mech handlers and their rocket-powered mecha suits are featured including a boy named Mika, a gal named Changpo, and a chipper android known as Ernula. In addition to playing the game in your living room by your lonesome, the Xbox 360 version allows journeymen to go online and tackle opponents through the Xbox Live service. A Gallery Mode features character artwork and models of the mechs that may be unlocked. Please note that Senko no Ronde does not boot on USA Xbox 360 consoles.
