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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
