No, for the second time it�s not an ocean-battle game.
Koei's sci-fi action game returns, this time with the addition of a new female character, Feanay. As in the first game, you have three modes of attack�melee, shooting, and neo-psonics�at your disposal. Even with a new character, gameplay remains mostly the same with missions having you plow through hordes of animal-like monsters. New for the series is a �Time Extend� technique that uses part of your NP gauge to enter in a bullet time�like attack mode. Once again, all of your weapons can be upgraded using origin items, so power gamers will have a ball playing stages over again to level up. The controls in the preview build were a bit clunky with the characters having problems locking on and shooting in the right direction. Still, it looks as though Koei will deliver a solid action game.
