yes. well, are there any?

Psyvariar special edition published by Empire on PAL PS2 are great.
Gunbird Special is also scheduled from the same company.

 

[Fatghost]

In Japan? There are many. In the US? There are a few, but I don't know if I'd say any of them are better than average.


There's Silpheed and Castle Shikigami 2. Both are not terrible and while hard to find, are usually cheap.

 

[Useff]

Top-down, as in scrolling shoot-'em-up? If that's what you're asking, Castle Shikigami is very good and only $10 to boot.

You could probably find DoDonPachi Daioujou at an import site.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[talking head]

yes the scrolling shoot em ups. so which is better? castle shikigami or silpheed? i thought the ps2 had more shooters than that.
