http://psp.ign.com/articles/745/745184p1.html - 8.1 from IGN.

General complaints: insane difficulty.

In other words, I'm gonna love it.  Hopefully it'll be in stock when I go to the store tomorrow.

General complaints: insane difficulty.

I'm glad it's not just me then.

Well, I tried it again, this time the USA version with a full tutorial.  I still can't get past the 1st boss.  I understand what I'm supposed to do, but it's all ending in frustration every time.  The concept is . . . weird!  I can't quite get into it.  Will keep trying now and then.

A general note about difficult puzzlers and arcade games ported to home systems:  Why the hell is the scoreboard out of reach in so many of them?  WTF do I care if some expert can outscore me 10-1?  I want to see my best efforts preserved in some list.  Even if they want to make, say, the top 5 positions only attainable if you're good, every player who buys the damn game should be able to see his best efforts somewhere on the list!  Let the internet scoreboards be out of reach to the average joe, but dammit . . .

Bah, it wasn't in stock today.  Apparently they haven't ordered the game yet.  Hopefully they'll have some next week.
