Post here every time you get something new!

An unholy duo arrived a couple of weeks ago and I forgot to take a photo. Probably because I'm trying to forget they exist.



Mobile Light Force 1 & 2.

Or as they're really known, Gunbird and Shikigami no Shiro.

Only gave the first one a go as my ps2 is stored away, but feck, what a bad localization!

If you think the cover art is bad, wait till you see the start screen menu. It's the exact same picture, if you pixelated it to the point where the three girls (who aren't even in the game by the way ) look like melty faced freaks.



Oh and if you think that's bad, it gets worse! Press start and you go to the same menu - which has a backdrop of the same stupid picture, but even SMALLER and MORE pixelated. And they have the text going across the characters faces.




Game wise, it's a perfect port (to my suprise). However, the is obviously one big lazy factor as you can imagine looking at the beyond crap (and duplicated!) covers - not only have they not translated any Japanese text, they've just totally cut it out.

So in Gunbird, when you get to a boss, the little characters chat with some cool manga drawings and text.

In Mobile Light Force, you get to a boss, the little sprite characters stop, (you expect a chat baloon thing to pop up), but the game freezes for a second, and then the boss battle commences.

It just feels like a giant censor's scissors descends on the game for a moment.

Funnily enough, I just checked again the characters still say something in Japanese on the character select menu. I guess they just weren't arsed editing that out.
