I forgot to mention and record my home activity like that for buying these two games. One is Bejeweled Blitz and one is Star Soldier Remake.
First of all, I bought this remake of Star Soldier for the PSP. It’s such a rare copy that it’s for collectors and fans of shmup and Star Soldier. It’s nothing terrible judging from the gameplay. It’s the controls you have to get used to because the entire game is vertical mode at all. I somewhat got clobbered about those two ships that I prefer the third ship which is the purple ship. It comes in handy like shooting a laser in a way of classic shmup games with the laser weapon. However, the main power comes backwards and the first ship doesn’t even help a lot. Lastly, the controls can be awkward at first for playing portable console games in vertical mode. As there are so many things to wipe out in this game, it looks like this game is also quite fun. However for mini bosses, I also got clobbered about trying to destroy them at right speed. It’s like I was destroying other things with the Blaster weapon while dealing with the mini bosses. That can give me the destructive feel. Hell, I even felt like getting arcade experience from this game that this game should deserve the arcade port. Seems that the PS2 and GC versions have the actual slowdowns but not that much as Gradius V in terms of graphics. I wish I can wipe out these mini bosses quickly like in this video. I guess I did but that’s not quicker enough due to silly firepower. That is to try out in 5 Minutes Mode. You can turn on and off the Auto-Fire thing as well as configure the control buttons on the remake but what’s the good point for the PSP version anyway that I have to keep holding my PSP like that?
Secondly for Bejeweled Blitz, it’s more like a mini-game if you ask me but it contains achievements that you have to play again and again and again. There’s also other backported features from the upcoming Bejeweled 3.
Progresses
Last but not least, the Tropical Resort Arrange will consist of Act 1 and 2 and the progress hasn’t reached 100% yet. More arranges/sequenced works will be coming after Tropical Resort.
