Project Sylpheed is a modern version of an 80’s IBM shooter. It is a fantastic looking ride, where you hang on for your life. Being Japanese inspired, you have your choice of a space fighter and weapons with which you battle enemies that outnumber you greatly, and as in anime style, you still manage to win. It looks extremely eye pleasing when using high definition, with lasers and explosions looking fantastic. The action could be said to be overwhelming.
There is a variety of weapons and special maneuvers to choose from, but at time you will be mostly hitting the shoot key and flying in any direction with no method to the mayhem. When you do kill an enemy, there is no feeling that skill or maneuvers out-gunned him.
Between the levels there is an anime storyline that quite stereotypically doesn’t fall in with the onscreen action. The looks and sounds are great, and is a great game for one in which you can pull out for half an hour and shoot away every so often. Three out of five stars.
