This game is the definition of nothing special. Enemy's are bullet sponges; there's a severe lack of shooting styles, and the two of them are pretty useless. The choreography and projectile patterns are super boring and uninspired, and leaving the animated cutscenes aside, this game does not look or play better than the best shoot 'em ups on the regular Mega Drive. 

The only outstanding thing about this game is its soundtrack, which I'd admit is pretty great. 

Other than that, I just can't understand how people can pay such outrageous prices for a copy of this one. Just stick with Thunder Force IV.
