  A Rose By Any Other Name... August 11, 2006 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Let's resolve something right from the getgo; this game is actually "Gunbird". Some people may have heard of it via its sequel, Gunbird 2, which saw some life over in the US via the Dreamcast. While Mobile Light Force is certainly worth the few bucks it usually commands and is a competent shooter there are a few things I must get across since it's vital to the game itself.
First of all the game and manual are poorly translated. You can't really expect much more for its original $9.99 MSRP but, honestly, SHMUPs do not typically contain that much text and to make mistakes like these speaks volumes about XM Games themselves. More important than that, however, is that it seems like there are major cuts in the game itself. It feels as if there should be story segments for each character between each stage but they are non-existant here.
Overall, this is more or less a barebones release but that shouldn't necessarily stop people from buying it. If you find it for cheap it does tend to be a competent shooter that's worth about $4 or so. If you're a huge fan of the SHMUP genre, however, you are much better off finding the original game and importing it instead.
