I just got that one too. I hate that there's no analog control!

Overall it's a decent little shooter. Fun but nothing special.

Have you looked up the price of Triggerheart Exelica on eBay? The XBLA version is $10, while eBay sellers are asking upwards of $130. The prices difference is likely similar over there. That's probably why you don't have it for the Dreamcast...

I bought it on release, man that game is sick, I finally got faint tear to show in level 1... and got promptly violated.

Got my dc cable, and was lost into another world. Played Karous, i don't know why this game gets a bad rap, it has plenty of immersion. A little heavy on japanese speech/writing though so playing by the seat of my pants.

yeah, but, i'd prefer not to finish a game for years than get through it on a credit feed or easy settings. I still feel guilty for getting through Ikaruga on a marathon credit munching session, although I think that game would have taken decades to get through without using continues...

I've still never properly beaten Ikaruga. At least you have to play for a little bit of time before it gives you enough credits to plow through. Trigger Heart Exelica gives you unlimited continues from the get-go.

Been playing some Triggerheart too. Yesterday I got the level 3 Faintear achievement and 59 million points...a great run until I made three horrible mistakes on level 4.
