Here's one of those I pulled off the shelf today for no real reason other than I mentioned it in a recent review I wrote. I had a vague memory of putting it in when I bought it, but now that I finally sat down with it, this game is abolutely incredible. I can't think of a game that looks better on the system, whether it be the CD or cart. The scaling/rotation kills what the SNES could do.

Still, I'm not a fan of the control in the free-flight type situations. It uses far too many buttons and just kind of gets bogged down. The behind the ship view is better than Starfox (Super NES) IMO however. I'm just stunned and I can't believe this game doesn't get more credit. Dare I even say this just became my fave game on the system (I hate RPG's)? I think I do.

I, too, love this game. It's pretty darned impressive, though it has kicked my ass the few times I've tried to make it through. There was a Sega CD 32x version planned... I'm not sure how they would have improved with game other than with more colors. It truly is super-cool.

Then again, I'm a sucker for these type of games... Galaxy Force and Night Striker are two of my other favorites. Try Night Striker S on the Saturn... it's supposedly way better than the Mega CD Night Striker (which I would still love to play.)

Cheers :D

This game probably is one of the biggest sleepers for Sega Cd

The graphics blow starfox out of the water, and the gameplay is good too...im glad there are other fans and im not the only one who noticed how GOOD (and challenging) this game is! 8-)

I really wish that we would've been able to see the Jaguar CD game get released. I think it would've done pretty good if it had been completed and the graphics got cleaned up a little.

It definitely is a pretty fun game though.
