This game is very fun co-op. Apparently it was an XBox game that was cancelled then came back to life on the PS2. It's a mix of action-brawler and top-down bullet-hell shooter. It is also only $20.

Oh why hello. Yes. I had this on preorder for well over 2 years at Gamestop and a year at Amazon. I really didn't think anyone else here would be at all interested. If anyone's wondering, think 3d Isometric Brawler + Bullet Hell + Darius Twin style huge inventive bosses (that aren't fish) + combos = Red star.

It's like playing an arcade game from the first half of the 90's. Two thumbs up.

if at last you do succeed, never try again

Yeah it really has a retro feel. To me it is like a souped up NES game. The plot is hard to read and harder to follow, there are no cutscenes or really anything at all outside of the main levels - no intro, no CGI, no nothing. You just press start and play. It's from a time when games were just games and not "experiences."

The Red Star is a fucking awesome comic, anyone who hasn't ever read it, should.

Apparently the game is based on the comic but honestly it is pretty impossible to follow, it's just a wall of text filled with similar-sounding Russian names.
