MORE INFORMATION
Immerse yourself in the story-driven world of Project Sylpheed. This colorful arcade-style space combat game was developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by famed game publisher Square Enix, who also published Final Fantasy. Project Sylpheed will leave you breathless with its intense action and vivid graphics. The characters and environments are beautifully animated.

You pilot a fully weapon-customizable fighter ship through exhilarating battles against swarms of enemy vessels.

Here are some features of Project Sylpheed:
 * Immersive storyline: Project Sylpheed features a deep storyline that revolves around the growth and maturation of the main character, Katana. Katana is torn from his friends by political circumstances.

Project Sylpheed has more than 50 minutes of beautiful, engaging, dynamic and cinematic cut-scenes between intense battles. These cut-scenes provide context to the intergalactic struggle that links good and evil.
 * Intense intergalactic space combat: You pilot futuristic starfighters into swarms of enemies, strategically relying on your wingman and your squadron to successfully complete missions. Project Sylpheed challenges you to hold your own against enemy battleships and their fortresses that are hundreds of times the size of your starfighter.
 * Customizable starfighters: You use the killer technique system that offers 50 different customizable weapon combinations to equip your advanced Delta Saber starfighter. An arsenal of offensive and defensive techniques are available for you to map to your gameplay style. This includes the ability to fire all weapons at the same time or to use slow motion to avoid enemy fire. If you are an experienced pilot, you can also learn to execute difficult technical maneuvers to evade adversaries. These include 180-degree turns and strafing.
 * Evolving next-generation gameplay: Project Sylpheed is based on the classic arcade side-shooter Silpheed. Project Sylpheed brings futuristic space combat gameplay into the next generation. This exciting new game takes advantage of the processing power of the Xbox 360 console to generate enormous maps and hundreds of enemy spaceships in beautiful 3-D.
