What is the best Shmup on the Dreamcast?

What do you guys think?

I love Mars Matrix, but Fast Striker is so much fun. Oh! GigaWing 2 is also awesome. Dammit I cant decide! :/ UNDER DEFEAT!

[D.D.D.]

BANGAIO!!!!!!!!

Honestly, there is too much variety to pick just one. Border Down is fantastic, Zero Gunner 2 and Gunbird 2 are both great, Ikaruga is pretty unique, and Giga Wing 2 is shit crazy. Fast Striker is great as well.

And I still need to try Under Defeat

[CD AGES]

Agreed! Too many good Shmups on the DC to pick just one.

Does the Dreamcast even have any bad shmups?

[dunpeal2064]

I would say that some are not for everyone, but if you are out to enjoy them, most have their pros

Dux is pretty, but it definitely has its flaws. Chaos Feild and Radirgy won't be everyone's cup of tea either.

Playing DC shmups on a agetek arcade still is truely an experience like nothing else. Glad to see some dc shmup love

Oh yeah, Dux! I have that one. Forgot about it in fact and I would actually say that is the closest thing the Dreamcast has to having a bad shooter.

I have heard Karous and Chaos Field are pretty bad too but then again that is what I heard about Last Hope and I loved it. I have the Pink Bullets version though.

I need to get Pink Bullets. I had the original release and still enjoyed it.

I've heard people hate on Karous, but I still want to try it

My favorites are Mars Matrix, Triggerheart Exelica, Twinkle Star Sprites, Zero Gunner 2, and Rez (if you count it despite being a rail shooter).
