Probably the best of the Mega Drive SOR titles in terms of pure gameplay, and the Japanese version is actually able to make the game playable, which is a really nice bonus. Music's probably the weakest of the series, which is a bit of a shame, but there's definitely still some strong tracks in there too. 2 and Japanese!3 are running pretty close to one another in terms of pure quality, and it sucks that so many have had their perception of the game coloured by the awful American localisation.
