Item Description
Otomedius Excellent offers a generous amount of pretty magical girls and fighter crafts. Since it's first launch in the arcades, the game has garnered a huge fan base.In Otomedius Excellent, you can enjoy a new story when you play the single campaign, and when the stages get too punishing, you can recruit up to 2 helpers in the Multiplay offline mode.Of course, if you have your Xbox Live account, the game would be even more fun, as you get to play against the best shooters on the network and grab new contents as you proceed through the game. New characters, stages and BGM will become available through downloadable packs, so you'll never be bored with the Otomedius girls.

Future of Gradius style games?
This game was actually really fun and plays a lot like Gradius which by itself was one of the better side scrolling flying shooting games.
The graphics are very vibrant and colorful, sometimes making it a challenge to distinguish background and foreground, but overall appealing to look at.
This game is actually pretty difficult, I think mostly because of the excessive color whereas in Touhou, that was not an issue. Since I have only 1 controller for XBox, I couldn't do the 2-player mode. I suppose instead of comparing this game to Gradius, maybe comparing it to Lifeforce for NES is a better comparison due to the 2-player simultaneous gameplay.

Great fun
This game is a silly spinoff and knows it. Not to be taken so seriously. Great fun.
Parodius > Otomedius
Gradius spin-off which doesn't do the series justice.
Weapon/upgrade system is all there but is used in bland & confusing backgrounds where it's often hard to see enemies and targets.
Girl's voices get annoying very soon too.
I hoped for this to be a patch on Parodius but it falls short by a million miles.
