The most creative cute em up I've ever played. The game oozes with retro anime aesthetic and every level is based off of different genres of video games giving some very unique boss fights some that are mixed media such as fully animated anime characters and others being 3d models. Such a fun game and combined with it's presentation, this is easily my new favorite shmup.
Still a good game as it was in the arcades and on the Saturn, but it has some odd glitches plus the DLC is a tad expensive. DLC really should have been included in the base game by default. Still not a bad option to play the game if nothing else, though.
Kinda okay Arcade Shooter where you Shoot the Arcade. Banks off of its own absurd premise a little too much, because it's just not all too engaging as a shmup aside from the striking bosses (the classic dancing girl .gif!!!). I'm all for goofball shmups, but you gotta be like Parodius and have the creative sugar rush act in synchronicity with gameplay that constantly attempts to reinvent the wheel. You're crushing your Parma Violets into a fine dust and not even snorting them.
Hard to fault Cruisin Mix as an overall package, it's so full of extras, options, goodies and artbooks. You're not getting fantastic games, but you're getting a lot of cool stuff to sift through. Gunbare Game Tengoku 2 being absent from this collection is the glaring omission that drags the whole thing down, that's the best game in the series.
