Ahhhh.... Anime witches. This is a cool little shooter - plenty of style, comedy, and special effects - they outdid themselves for this...
GRAPHICS: 10+
This is a 2D game, but oh how good it looks!!! Plenty of layered 2D - some of the bosses look like Castlevania X stuff - as far as the 3Dish look BEAUTIFULLY done - the pic does not do it justice... There is a Saturn Mode which changes the background a bit as well.
SOUND: 9
The music is catchy - the cute little voices during the game are great - they could have given more speech though - it would have been nice.
GAMEPLAY: 10
Gameplay is interesting and different - you can do power attacks - by doing "Streetfighter" type thumb movements - to produce different shots - grab enemies and throw them grab the other player and THROW 'EM - yup, you can do it... One word, FUN...
CHALLENGE: ?
Not overly challenging, this game is more for fun than challenge - it may take a few tries, but once you find the option to boost your extra lives - well, it can be beaten fairly easy then - otherwise it is a challenge.
OTHER: 10 Other??? You get a calendar with it - you can use the RAM cart with it - for, like no load time and added smoothness - Saturn Mode - it's cool...
OVERALL: 9.5
I went with this because it is not for everyone - although I don't think anyone would be disappointed with it, just it is more a game for those who want a cute anime witch shooter ^_^
