The space shooter series known as Sylpheed receives a next-gen sequel (and a slight spelling change) in Project Sylpheed for Xbox 360. Players will experience a more story-driven effort this time around, with nearly an hour's worth of cinematic cut-scenes detailing the adventures of a crack pilot named Katana and his Delta Saber squadron. The mission-based action primarily involves engaging hundreds of enemy fighters, towering battleships, and floating fortresses in 3D space. Project Sylpheed features a choice of 50 customizable weapon schemes that offer both offensive and defensive capabilities, from slow motion effects to the ability to unleash multiple weapons on a single target. Katana's starfighter comes equipped with a rechargeable shield to minimize damage, and he will also be able to count on his wingmen to provide assistance. Players can issue basic commands to their wingmen and even adjust their formations to improve their odds of completing mission objectives.
