Simplistic yet very difficult...

The game's storyline and missions are suprisingly simplistic. Off topic, with the exception of games already prepared on other gaming platforms (such as madden) xbox seems to try to wow you with their seemless graphics and amounts of it they can put on the screen.
Gun Valkyrie, imagine the movie starship troopers with limited enemy bug variety and limited environments to fight them in. What I find difficult is using the jet pack on missions that require very advanced controlling of your character in order to succeed. Can get a little frustrating, a recommended rent-before-you-buy game.

classic sega (but do you konw what that means?)

Ok first things first, no this game is not easy, yes this game has a long learning curve, and no this is not a game for the casual gamer. however if you are familar with sega at all you will konw that it prefers to make their games for the hardcore gamer. also sega likes to make each board test a differnt skill, which will be necessary in beating the boss characters. This game has a completely origional button layout, and has absoutely no similarities to any other game. For some reason sega is being attacked for trying something new. I konw what your thinking, New isnt alwayse better, right? Right! .. but in this case this happens to be a very fast exciting and absoutely fun game to play, if (and only if) your willing to put some effort into this sucker. NO its not Metorid, NO its not Halo, and dont get mad at it when its not. Anyskills you have from any other game will not help you here. i promise you will curse the controlls at first, but by the last character(if you get that far) you will be greatful that they didnt let you learn how to play this game the wrong way because it would be impossible at times. Try it, give it a good hour before you decide weather or not you like it, and my personal advice, watch the game demo to see exactly how this game is ment to be played, THEN see what you can do. ...

Best gameplay in a while

FAST and INTENSE gameplay. The mechanics of the gameplay are the best in any game I have EVER played (even better than NES' Ninja Gaiden series). It cannot get much better than this.

The story should be a little more complete, and it should be a little longer. Maybe 24 levels instead.Plus I turned off the music because it was a little annoying.
If anyone needs a good fix before the new Ninja Gaiden comes out I HIGHLY recommend GV it is SOO worth the price.

This game looked intriguing to me. It had that sci-fi, mutant bug everywhere, everything is trying to kill you, you are a one man/woman army who must save the world feel that I oh so crave. The visuals are nice(so purty) but I've come to expect nothing but the best from my beloved X-box. This game pits you against millions and millions of bugs and you have nothing but your insane dash/jump abilities and some very sci-fi-esc weapons to defeat them. This was one of the first games I played after I got my X-box hooked up, and I must say that this game got me very familiar with the X-box's controller layout(which by the way some think is insanely huge but I think is very comfortable). The levels are a bit confusing, but just keep in mind that everything must die(use the map). I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to get to a door. The most exciting part of this game(i.e. what makes it so unique) is it's button mashing control system which has you press the jump button, then the analog stick in while pushing forward, then backward, then to the side, then to the other side, and then to the front again. Congratulations, you now know how to play the game. During the first or second mission(i don't remember) there is this huge hole in the ground with some flying bug creatures. Once you take care of them, go play with the jump/dash over the cratered area, but stay above the jets of air that will shoot you up in the air if you screw up. I did this for an hour and I think I am a pro at the game now. This game is extremely frustrating when you press a button wrong and quit jumping around in the air and fall into a big mass of bugs(and oh will they kill you fast!). I would not suggest this game for children, anyone who doesn't have patience, anyone who frustrates easily, or anyone who likes a game that you can easily pray a spray(i.e. just shoot your weapon in random directions hoping that you will hit something)and defeat the competition. There is a steep(we're talking mount Everest) learning curve that makes this games player's limited. To recap, buy if you are a sci-fi fan, a big one, and don't if your not. It is as simple as that.

Sega and Smilebit have done it again, and do so with style!!! Last month came Jet Set Radio Future, and this month it's Gunvalkyrie.

Gunvalkyrie is definitely a must-have game for Xbox owners. It has a great gameplay, great graphics, and good sound effects (only good because the sound seems like an afterthought compared to the gameplay and graphics quality). I have played the game (not the demo version) and it's awesome!!! The control scheme felt like it needed more work, nevertheless it did not ruin the experience for me. It was still a blast -- literally!!!

If you haven't gotten a copy of Gunvalkyrie, reserve yours now either at your local electronic store or here at Amazon.com. Rest assured, you'll enjoy the game!!!

Difficult, but fun.

The controls are a little difficult, it is hard for me to do certain "dashes" in the game, where you have to press a series of buttons all at once. However, it has great graphics, and you can play either a male or a female. Basically it is just a first-person shooter, not as advanced as Halo, but much simpler. I don't understand the difference between certain guns as I did in Halo. This is another game which you should try before you buy.
Pros:
1) Great Graphics
2) 2 people to play
3) Fun
Cons:
1) Not more than just 2 people to play (not enough characters)
2) Annoying, especially when jumping from platform to platform and falling
3) Levels take WAY to long (bores me out after a while)

Remember, try before you buy.

THIS GAME ROCKS!

The game play is difficult, and tedious. I had no desire to blast my way through a nearly infinite supply of monsters. The timed missions are the worst. There are only two characters, and the upgrades for them are limited. The best thing I can say about the game is that the graphics are amazing.
