A Blast From The Future
Silpheed: The Lost Planet hurtles onto the PlayStation 2 in a blaze of super-heated plasma fire.
While disillusioned PlayStation 2 owners look ahead to find the next generation game to sate their gaming appetite, Silpheed: The Lost Planet, explodes onto the scene out of nowhere and reminds gamers what real gameplay is all about.
Armed with classic 2D shoot-'em-up action married to seamless 3D cut-scenes, Silpheed really is a game that has to be see to be believed. A strong Japanese flavour means that huge, exotic bosses, wave-after-wave of enemy fighters and sprawling organic levels provide all the manic action you can handle.
Adopting similar features that made R-Type a perennial favourite, Silpheed uses an innovative power-up system that allows the gamer to choose their weapons of mass destruction from level to level. Nine varied upgrades supply all the firepower you can handle from three-way blasters and lasers through to missiles and orbiting fire platforms.
Utilising the PlayStation 2's raw graphics power, Silpheed delivers nothing short of eye-watering speed and will seriously test even the most arcade-sharpened reflexes. It's a game that threatens to find out just how durable the PlayStation 2 controller is.
Key Features:
Nine diverse armaments to help eradicate the alien scum.
Strong manga-style graphics.
Innovative weapon selection system.
Screen blistering graphics.
Seamless marriage of 2D action and 3D cut-scenes.
Classic gameplay not yet seen on the PlayStation 2.
Due for release April 2001, Silpheed: The Lost Planet is developed by Game Arts and will be published by SWING! Entert@inment Media AG.
