Any good? A worthwhile purchase?

I'll get it anyway, just wanted your opinions.

by "soon" you mean a year ago, right?

petrolhead · Post by **petrolhead** » Thu May 19, 2005 8:20 pm

Nope, it has not been available untill now.
It got a review in this months officialPS2 mag.

Well it's been available at least in France and in Italy (I think) for over a year.

THe UK PAL game is not out yet.

Is it any good?

TVG · Post by **TVG** » Thu May 19, 2005 8:34 pm

that's weird, im supposing this is some kind of mistake off ps2m part, maybe some british people on the forum can enighten us, i tought england gets games before france.

anyway, i find XII shitty, but there's people that like it, and for the low price it goes, its not a question wether to buy it or not if you ask me...

It's been out for ages in France and Italy. I got two copies from a nice fella in France a year ago, and it had been out for several months at that point.

Well i can asure you that it's never had a UK release untill now.

All of this talk might matter if the game was good. It isn't. Waste no more breath on it...

It's definitely been released in the UK before now (although it did come out in Italy and France first) - I've seen new copies in Gamestation.

i've seen it in my local gamestation for a long time. in fact i placed it on the shelf in the one i worked in about 8 or 9 months ago and i'm in the uk, s it looks like the ps2 mag are talking out of their arses

In Italy the game is available but is not that cheap....it goes for 30 euros.

it's released in australia too last year, and it cost $25 aussies.. roughly 10 pounds. quite cheap i must say by australia's price standard, where new games cost somewhere $80 - $110 aussies, almost double the price of US games

If it's had a recent release, why are there ZERO UK copies available on UK Ebay, only a couple of import copies from Europe.

Not ONE UK pal copy of this game.

If it's rubbish it gets sold on quickly on Ebay.

Or it didn't sell in the first place...

Trust us, it's been out for quite a few months now in the UK. I think there's a reprint of it coming out though as part of a new Simple 20 range, so that might be why it was recently reviewed.

Yep! It's been out for a while here and i quite enjoy it. Much more fun playing it with a joystick mind.

The game is not very good unfortunately. It has one interesting feature though, one that I would like to see implemented in other new shmups; it tracks your progress. You can check how you get better (or worse) on a graph. That would be a great addition to any shmup.

ill6 · Post by **ill6** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 3:20 pm

I have had mine for ages. I assume it got a very small release the first time in the UK but much bigger in France.

Its shit anyway.

Today I saw the first units available in shops in Spain. Although the game was reviewed a long time ago in some popular videogaming webs...
