Comments on: Game Review: Deathsmiles (360) http://www.gamesanityblog.com/2010/07/24/game-review-deathsmiles-360/ Games from a Parental Perspective Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:32:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: culturalrebel http://www.gamesanityblog.com/2010/07/24/game-review-deathsmiles-360/comment-page-1/#comment-47106 culturalrebel Sun, 01 Aug 2010 17:43:34 +0000 http://www.gamingwithchildren.com/?p=4821#comment-47106 The slowdown is actually deliberately recreated by the game code itself, to give players a chance to deal with the swarms of bullets onscreen. Shmup players, bullet-hell fans in particular, refer to it as "nature's own bullet time", and rely on it to get them out of particularly hairy situations. Oh, and by the way, you left out the interesting fact that the game only comes in its limited edition version, which includes a custom faceplate for the 360 and a soundtrack CD in addition to the game itself. There's no vanilla edition to buy without importing one from Japan; it's either the limited one or nothing.

Looks to me more like a downloadable title. It seems odd that this is a full retail release. Looks to me more like a downloadable title.
