Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Extra - Preorder

«©NCSX» The Japanese Xbox 360 continues to solidify its position as the de facto console of choice for shoot 'em up fans and adherents with yet another upcoming release. This time, it's Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Extra from 5pb which is scheduled to ship on May 28.

The game starts off with the player's ship being towed into battle by a larger plane. Once the tether is broken, the ship hurtles ahead and into the thick of an incoming enemy assault. Tanks attack from the ground and jets swoop in from all sides as the player's ship flies deeper into enemy territory. The shots get pretty thick but are manageable if you're able to map them and twitch through them accordingly. The first mid-level boss is a chubby helicopter which sprays out a latticework of shots that move vertically and horizontally for added challenge. Preorders are welcome to ship on May 28, 2009 at JPY6800 or US$70.90 from NCS and the first printing will include a bonus "Ketsui Capture Guidebook" in 1:1 ratio.
