It is a bit of a pain, in horizontal mode the screen scrolls in 3 'panes'
It's a bit of guess work. Vertical mode is better you can see almost
everything (some L to R scrolling)

Actually, I've just found out that there is a view which displays the whole
table in both vertical and horizontal modes (should've read the manual!)

Thanks for the info. I might give this a miss even at 24.99 as I think it
would be too painful for me to play it.

I've not played the PSP version, but that was the case on the PS2 one. The
option only stays unlocked when you actually open it up properly, rather
than by using a cheat code.

If that's the case, so should the reviewer who wrote what I read. What's it
play like in full table mode?

You can see the whole table and so aiming is easier. Also there no
scrolly-blurry-ness to cope with. The view is a bit small (esp in horizontal
mode) but aiming for specific targets is easier (I tend to play in scrolling
mode first to see which targets are which - then switch to the smaller full
table view).

Thanks for this.

You may have swayed me as I'm looking for another game to pass a long flight
coming up soon
