Otomedius Gorgeous is a shooter that allows you the exhilaration of wielding hi-tech weaponry as a pretty pilot. The game places much emphasis on network game play and comes in several modes that makes use of the Xbox360's facilities. There are two major modes, the original mode and the gorgeous mode.
Original mode is based on its arcade predecessor, with 4 stages, each with a different level of difficulty, choose three stages out of them and engage in white hot battles. For each battle you participate in, you will receive experience points and new weapons. Gorgeous mode is instilled with new stages, scenes and plot elements written especially for the home console edition.
Each mode carries three types of game play, a single mode and two network modes. In the single mode, you fight by yourself either in the challenging stages in the original mode or against Konami's bosses in Gorgeous mode. As for the networking mode, you play either against your friends in the original mode or combine forces with them to fight against the bosses in the gorgeous mode.
The game makes use of the Xbox360's network facilities both in terms of Xbox Live and the system link. With Xbox Live, you can connect with up to 3 people for a game and with the system link, you can access your LAN connection and play with the people on your floor.
Aside from the existing elements already in the game, you can get so much more by accessing the Xbox Live market place. Go to the ranking board to see who is the best shooter on the web, download replay data, beat the top score and upload it back on to the tables to show the world who's the best.
There are new characters and stages on the net which you can download for your own games. Aside from gaming elements, you can also get the BGM pack via the market place so there are new elements coming up regularly.

For Gradius/Parodius fans only As the title suggests, this is a horizontal shooter based on the old Konami classics like Gradius or Parodius, where you collect capsules to upgrade your ship's weapons as you progress thorough a stage. The catch is that the ships player controls are rendered as different girls. If you're fan of the old games, you would be amused by many of the references. However, I only think the 3D graphics is so-so as I was expecting much more. Also there is not a wide variety of soundtrack as many additional background music are sold as DLCs on the Japanese Live marketplace, contents which I felt were withheld from the game at the beginning. There is also a multiplayer mode to compete for the highest score for up to 3 players which was kind of fun, however, it's not easy to find people available for online matches.

Great Game I love the 2D shooter legends Gradius and Parodius. Logically, I had to then watch Otomedius Gorgeous ... and I was not disappointed. Brilliant game. Buy it!

Gorgeous! The games title is very accurate in a number of ways, from the gorgeous HD graphics to the absolute cuteness of the characters themselves. Some may classify this as a "cute-em-up" because it is a parody game with TONS of references and nods to older Konami shooter games with a very light, tongue-in-cheek feel to the entire thing. Great fun, lots to learn, but still good for beginners if you're pretty new to the genre. One of my favorite horizontal shmups of all time.

Here's to shooters on the 360 Even though I've only played a few of the games from the Gradius series throughout its history (I, III, IV, and the spin-off Parodius) I very much appreciated the love this game had put into it. ...I'm not claiming I can measure love, but this game has so much detail in the form of remixes of old songs, the characters being the old ships (Lord British!), and the HUGE variety of weaponry. The game was a blast to play through the Arcade mode and through the Original mode too. Eh... I only have one minor complaint about the whole package, and that would be with the aforementioned character designs... did so many of them have to very scantily clad women? Well... I DID enjoy the eye-candy, but I kinda felt bad that I did. ;)
Well, I highly suggest it if you want a "just-plain fun" shooter.

Great shumps game for beginners When I first bought my JPN Xbox 360 on Play-Asia, I also ordered this game. I must say this is a nice shmups game for beginners. With cartoony like characters to amuse the player, this game will keep you busy for hours. It comes with the original arcade game and the new console version. It also has a lot of references from the old Gradius games (boss, theme songs etc.) With new add-ons coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace, this is a great game for shumps beginners and advanced players!
