This game is pretty cool from what I can tell from the box I will never open. As you all know my brother and I collect Collector's Editions, Special Editions, Limited Editions whichever. Otomedius is a game that is inspired by another Konami series Gradius. This special edition comes with a 2 Sided Pillowcase, 68 Page Artbook and the official soundtrack. I think one of the cool aspects of the game is the 3-Player simultaneous play. Here are the covers for the game. Anymore information would be grateful for those interested in this game. First Konami Special Edition in a long time.

As a shmup, anime, and Konami fan, I had high hopes that this game would be an absolutely awesome hidden gem this holiday season.
It...wasn't, really, IMHO.
I know it's not a bullet hell shooter, but the hitboxes felt atrocious and clunky to me. The graphics and art design didn't feel nearly as inspired as the Parodius series, and the three player co-op completely cuts out continues. I know about the weapon leveling and required grinding, but starting so weak makes initial playthroughs feel like a chore to me.
I nabbed the SE and I'm glad I own what is sure to stay as an obscure novelty, but in reality I just didn't find the game itself that fun. The soundtrack, consisting of remixed classic Konami Shmup tunes, was about the only real highlight.
But you know, to each his own.

I've got this one on my list of games to get this holiday season, and I'm kind of sad to hear that it isn't that great slackur. I think I will still pick it up, but now maybe I will wait until after the holidays.

Thanks Slackur for your input. Makes me feel even better that I won't be opening this game. Maybe just for kicks when the regular edition goes down in price to say 15 or 20 bucks then I'll pick it up just to try it out.

Hey everyone. My brother and I have collected a lot of games throughout the years. We have a huge collection of games spanning from Pong Systems to the most recent systems. We also have Japanese systems and lot of cool video game related items. Check out our blogs from time to time because we "score" a lot at our video game stores, flea markets, and of course eBay. |
