I played this because some magazine called Fantastic Night Dreams: Cotton terrible and this a way better game. I'm not a huge fan of FND either (specifically the arcade version, the home ports make it a better game), but that magazine was full of shit, honestly. I'd think I'd rather play arcade FND. The broomstick throwing mechanic is kinda cool, but it's real tricky to pull off plus the game is rather haphazard with it's difficulty. I also don't really dig it's artsyle. It puts me off for some reason. One of Irem's weaker shooters, honestly.
