    Otemedius is a good old school arcade game with nice...uh...chests. Its just not as great as I would expect from the Gradius series.
    While it has some minor technical issues that critics have pointed out, the game itself is still solid and rewarding.
    My biggest issue is that I would have liked some more content considering the cost of the game.

    A lot of people hated this game because of the ridiculous characters, and themes. But once you get past that it's a pretty fun game to play with a friend. It's just a regular old shooter.

    Otomedius Excellent shouldn't be worth anyone's time. Beyond the overall badness of the gameplay, the whole thing just feels incredibly cynical.

    If you're looking for a crazy-action shooter to throw you back to the most hardcore of skill levels and reaction times, I would definitely recommend the recent Deathsmiles and the infamous (and downloadable) Ikaruga over this, but Otomedius Excellent is up there.

    I admit that I'm new to using a Xbox 360 controller, but damn if these ladies aren't as slippery and wet as a walrus' throat.
