«©NCSX» Translated loosely as "Great Brother: Legend of Holy Protein," a new Cho Aniki shooting game looses itself upon Japan this week to scare small children and scatter woodland animals. The themes in Cho Aniki are homoerotic enough to make hetero men feel uncomfortable with an overbearing duo named Adon and Samson who exude muscle-bound manliness with no fear of their femininity. In other words, they're flaming. When they're not parading and posing in bikini briefs, the two engage in a bounty of socially awkward graphical displays by themselves and with each other. As the story goes, the "brothers" range far into the galaxy to search for a magical muscle maximizing protein which will help them maintain their ample girth, bulk and shiny tautness. With bodies and parts that bulge and glisten as much as they do, every little bit helps with the upkeep. Between them, a bit of protein serves as the "ship" in the game - a ship that is fortunate enough to be flanked and protected by such manly men. Watch in amazement (or terror) as the heroes fly across the screen and blast everything in sight with lasers which burst from the top of their shiny pates. Standard limp shots flow when the shot button is tapped but perform a charge-up move by furiously wagging the Dual Shock thumb stick and the fellas perk up and spurt stronger, straighter stuff at oncoming foes. In other words, the brothers become spirited shooters when you work them...up. When bullets fly towards the blob of protein, the brothers may be arranged in formation to block shots. However, each connecting attack hurts the libido of Adon or Samson so powerups must be picked up to reinvigorate the boys back to their sturdy selves. They can't take such a constant hammering without a little pick-me-up along the way. When they're in their prime however, the brothers serve as great bodyguards capable of deftly shielding the precious protein ship. The boys aren't the only sights to see in Cho Aniki. The foes and bosses are amply odd as well from the panty-waist showman to a genie who floats on an intricate piece of fabric. Based on the hefty amount of preorders for this game, we're convinced that buyers know a good thing when they see it... Strangely fascinating in a multiple car wreck sort of way, Cho Aniki nukes the shmup mold once again. Jan Code: 4542082000241 This document is ©NCSX 2003. All rights reserved.
