The famous games magazine Edge has reviewed Under Defeat in there latest issue. They gave it 6/10 which for Edge scoreing, is good (for example they gave Oblivion 8/10, Grandia 3 6/10, The Godfather 4/10, etc).
The review begins..
"Another year, another Dreamcast shoot'em up Swansong..."

I don't agree with what they say about the slowdown. The only slowdown that's there takes place when you've dropped a bomb. Otherwise the game is very smooth. The small pause the game has when you die seems to be on purpose rather than being some kind of bug.
Not a bad review at all, it's from a very objective PoV that you don't usually see when you read reviews from DC fans :P
Nice to see the UK games press taking interest.
I assumed the pause before dying was deliberate too, but did wonder.
I dont actually own the game YET (as in I eventually will), but it's nice to see the DC in magaziens again. Question, are they still being sold at a premuim or has the price dropped yet?
i don' think you will get a price drop for under defeat, if anything the price will go up!
