Man...this has to be one of THE hardest shooters I've ever seen! Even with rapid fire on, you BARELY have a chance to beat a level! I have yet to have seen much past the midpoint of Level 1 on it so far.

On the upside, great graphics, cool weapons, awesome enemies and level concepts. Also, it uses the Thunderforce 3 selectable Level gig....so you actually get to SEE every level without trying to beat hte unfeasibly hard game

It's damn good, but it's nearly as hard as Rayxanber II for PC Engine (hardest shooter EVER)!
