Shmup of the Month Club 2013 (Giga Wing)

[skate323k137]

I read this as Castle of Shikigami III at first, then I looked at the title again. I thought it'd be something I have for once.
Oh well, I can play Dragon Spirit next month.

I have an extra US PS2 Copy if you (or anyone else) wants it so you can join in. CIB, would sell cheap. Or, you could just get on the freeMCboot train.

I was needing a reason to play this again...and finally got around to doing it. I still find it rather bland (pretty character portraits aside), but thanks to this thread, at least I now better understand what's going on. So I no longer dislike it...

Has anyone messed around with the Extra Settings yet (PS2 has em, not certain about DC port)? Making the bullets insanely large and fast is rather hilarious.

Also, despite being thoroughly entertained by the dialogue, I've been playing with the "demo" (story intermissions) turned off. Makes things flow together much better and keeps the pace up, in what I consider to be a overly broken-up game.

Not only that, but restarting is a pain...

Scoring a little better. I'm way out of practice on 4-2 and after. I might have gotten to 5-1 boss if I hadn't wasted a couple bombs on 3-1 in places I don't usually need them. 2nd extend at least

Yep, it was mentioned early on in this thread.

About the extra settings, I keep all default settings so the playing field with everyone else would be even.

Got the ps2 back....gonna have a got at it later....

Probably as good as I'll get with this babe. About time to concentrate on another character, I guess.

Just picked this up new at Amazon for $12. Is the original on consoles at all?
