Damn, I need to play this game again =) Probably the most underrated action game of this gen.

Exactly right.

I notice they pay homage to a lot of older game themes. The music when you fight the fire spitting tortoise is from Gunstar Heroes.

That sounds like fun. How are projectors with lag though?
Hmm. I'd like to hear that.
Playing on a LED projector. No lag! Super fun.

Loving the game so far (especially the numerous boss fights) but the game is starting to kick my ass in stage 3, Normal. Cheesing my way through by depending on the infinite continues is such a hollow victory. How much easier is Easy? Just less damage taken? Are non-boss enemies any different between the 3 difficulty levels?
Also, is it safe to assume that my character's hitbox is smaller than the character model as it is in bullet hell shooters? Thanks!

It's a Treasure game. Easy = Normal, Normal = Hard, Hard = Very Very Hard.
I'd just play on Easy and then do a Normal run afterwards. As for the differences between difficulty levels, I'm not sure. All I remember is that some boss patterns are different.

Good thing this game has insane replay value. What a masterpiece.

I like this game. It's no Radiant Silvergun, but what is?

I started a new game on Easy and breezed past the first few stages. Then I looked at where I stood on the online leaderboard for those stages. And cried.
Game is really fun though.

I beat the game on Easy just now but I'm not sure I knew what I was doing in that final boss fight. Took me a few tries and I still only squeaked by with 10 HP lol.
Trying Normal again but this time with Kachi. The autolock feature seems more annoying than useful.

This game is really great in 3D. You can tell exactly when something is about to hit your character.

Autolock is great for battling enemies who laser hell the shit outta you. You will learn to love it as soon as you unlock the another play mode.

Wait,i'm crazy or normal and hard modes have entire parts of the stages not present in easy mode ?

Different enemy placement, but the stage layout remains the same.
I picked it up thanks to the recent Best Buy sale, and had an absolute blast with it.
I don't play a lot of arcade style shooters, but it works great, the controls are simple enough, and it's really well designed around the speed of IR pointing.
Some bosses were frustrating, but they're mostly fair once you learn their patterns.
It's definitely the type of game you can really get into for the sake of high scores, and I hope I can revisit it again some time this year.
The Iwata Asks interview is also great, Treasure has a really neat development style.

On the other hand, Commander Deko, at the end of Stage 6 and 7 was just nuts. I mean, wow. I still don't know how you'd avoid some of those attacks.

pardon the bump
finally spent some real time with this one - goddamn, there's so many threads about "WHY ARENT GAMES LIKE (X) ANYMORE" that this should be the 1st reply too, fucking criminal this isn't as loved as say vanquish in my book.

Excuse the bump after such a long time, but as this is the official thread I wanted to ask a question that's been bugging me for a few days now...
I just bought the PAL version of this title on eBay, and the game that I got is in perfect working order so I have no issue there. It's just that the cover poses a few questions. It looks a bit off, in that the quality of the print (especially on the back cover) is quite suspect and there's a different hue to the front cover versus what I was expecting. In addition, while the case was sealed, it didn't have the Nintendo tear-strip and just had blank cellophane.
At first I thought it was a fake, but I opened it up and the disc looked perfectly genuine, and there was a genuine Club Nintendo points card inside that I successfully redeemed. So, the "contents" of the case were fully genuine.
I then noticed that the cover was reversible, with a full colour print on the inside. So I reasoned that as this was my only Wii game that had a reversible cover, perhaps the printing on both sides had some effect on the supposed "quality" of each (in that there may be a real reason for the faded look).
Anyway, I guess I'm just asking if anyone else has ever had anything like this happen to them before. Thanks!
