I like it a lot honestly. But probably the reason for lack of high praise is it's also overshadowed by some ridiculously great 360 shmups (Deathsmiles, Mushihimasama Futari, DDP Resurrection, Espgaluda II, etc).

I've owned this for several months, but would get owned every time I played it (couldn't pass the first level). I've come to realize that all I needed to do was turn on the controller's turbo functions and the game became somewhat playable. Is this "cheating"? The function is built right into the standard controller.

That alone is worthy enough!

Giga Wing 2 arrived last night. Playing that a bit. The JP version is kind of funny. It streams voiceover samples from the disc for odd things like menu selections and attacks during the game play. I would leave it on, but the voice tracks are quite a bit louder than the BGM and SE.

Thunder Spirits. This game would have been way better if it were much more different than Thunder Force III. As it is now, I don't really see a reason to keep it over TFIII, except maybe the music (which, granted, was really awesome to just listen to after I game over'd)?

Been playing a bunch of Psikyo games recently. Any interest in having high score threads for the following?

Sengoku Ace/Samurai Aces
Sengoku Blade/Tengai
Strikers 1945
Strikers 1945 II

I'd go for Strikers 1945 I & II. Played them enough times for real (and on MAME) to score decently enough.

Cool. I might do a joint thread for both if there are a few more people interested...

Def interested here. I'd be playing on the PlayStation though.
