Retro / Grade
  • Having recently gotten PS+, I decided to download this (it's currently free for Plus members) - I have to say it swallowed a good hour and a half of my time last night. 

    The premise is that you play a side scrolling shooter 'backwards'- you start at the end of the game and you have to reduce your high score by absorbing your own bullets and dodging enemy fire that comes from left to right -  but it's not so much a side scroller as it is a rhythm game (it was originally developed with plastic guitars in mind and it's supposedly still the best way to play it). It has a pretty great soundtrack, and it's very addictive once you get into it.

    Well worth a punt, especially if you have PS+ - I can see myself losing more time to this once I get to grips with it

    Looks lovely.
    Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content.

    Quite.


    Seems like a good excuse to dust off the guitar controllers.
