This is one of those games you can just go back to for a bit, then stop for a while, then have another go at and so on. With this in mind, I had a go at the three “open” levels in Hard mode. And failed to complete any of them. I think I need more practice. Which completely negates the thing that I just said just now.
Finally got back into this today, having finished some other games and stuff in the last couple of weeks. And it’s still ace. I’d previously only completed the one level on Hard, but I rattled through about 8 or 9 of them, including “ABC” which I unlocked. I also ranked up a couple of times too, and managed my first Perfect (on “YMCA”). Excellentia.
I have indeed completed it again. This time, however, on “Crusin’” mode (otherwise known as “Normal” to Ouendan veterans). “Lets Dance” gave me a few problems, and I had to do the finale (“Jumpin’ Jack Flash”) about 5 times, but I finally did it and moved on up to the next difficulty level. ACE.
Onward through the next hardest mode then, and I didn’t have many problems until reaching the Canned Heat mission, which was really difficult. I finally managed to get through it, but I got the “not perfect” ending – the first time I’ve got one of them. I then unlocked Believe by Cher, and completed that, and then worked through a few more missions. I’m now stuck again. Bah.
It’s Ouendan! Only new! And in English! In fact, it’s actually more like a sequel, as it improves on the original in some areas (you can skip cutscenes for a start), and has a different plot and entirely new scenarios. As you can see from the title of this post, I’ve completed it already, even though it only arrived this morning. However, I have only done it on the easiest setting, and only had to retry one level once (the …
I’ve often said that I love buying games that are bizarre and obscure. Usually, they’re crap – which often explains why they’re pretty obscure. Sometimes, though, they’re great. By obscure I mean they’re pretty much unheard of to the general gaming public. This is either because they’re for a machine never released in whatever region of the world they’re in, or the game bombed so nobody bought it (these games aren’t always bad, surprisingly), or even just that nobody forgot …

After this weekend’s dual diversions of Elite Beat Agents and Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, it was back to the serious matter of acquitting people of murder. I’ve made a start on Case 4, the last one in the game. So far, I’ve been at a fancy awards ceremony, someone has died, Maya has been kidnapped, and lots of people from the previous game have reappeared. I haven’t even started investigating the murder yet, and I’ve been playing for about half …
