Shikigami no Shiro

Based on the popular Japanese arcade blaster, Shikigami brings vogue to a genre sadly neglected on this generation of machines. Verticle perspective, play is as one of five human characters with a further unlockable character not available in the arcades. Also five levels, each with three stages. Dispatched enemies drop coins which are used to bolster your weapons. Massive bosses and adrenalin pumping soundtrack, but its the 'weapon boosting' element when you are close to an enemy that gives Shikigami its uniqueness and encourages you to dice with death just a little more. And such arcade thrills and spills are most welcomed on the XBox. Also known as Castle of Shikigami.
