    Extremely over rated game IMO. Any time the action actually gets exciting, the fps slowdown ruins it. The rest of the levels are really frustrating platforming and out of place puzzling. Maybe my expectations are too high based to the fanboy gushing that this game receives, but honestly it's just a mediocre game.

    We're hoping that by reading Gamestyle you're at least a little more interested in how good the actual game is rather than purely the aesthetics. Rest assured, then, that Bangai-O is brilliant.

    Games like this, where the graphics take a back seat to the gameplay, are few and far between these days, but Treasure, much like Sega, knows that gameplay is everything.

    40+ friggin levels! 40 LEVELS! And there's something really addicting when you combine frenzied shooting and fruit collecting together.
