Ex-Troopers for PS3

I finally got my copy of Ex-Troopers in the mail today. There aren't a lot of notable imports for PS3 that are friendly towards non-japanese players but this is one of them. It's based on the Lost Planet universe but is done in a lighthearted manga style. It's like what would happen if Burning Rangers or Gun Valkyrie crossed over with Jet Set Radio. Anyone here had the opportunity to play it or any of the LP games? For now there's no word of a US or EU release for Ex-Troopers.

I downloaded the demo off of the jp psn last year and enjoyed it, I plan to buy a copy at some point.
