I have to say I was slightly underwhelmed by RSG. But when I first played it I did realise it wasn't just another pick up and play shump with arcade sensibilities. That is why it probably put me off as that's what I was looking for at the time. It's probably the reason why I never warmed to Ikuraga too. Neither game suffers fools but I find RSG the more approachable game.wonderbanana wrote:Radiant Silvergun on Saturn. I discovered it late but it reminded me just how many games from Japan I'd overlooked. It rekindled my life long love affair with shmups which started with Space Invaders and to this day remsins the one genre I have blown serious cash on, near £500 on one game more than a few times. I've owned it countless times on Saturn and even bought the original arcade hardware (that wasnt cheap either), thankfully it got an XBLA release so I don't keep getting the urge to replace it. Is it the best shmup ever? No, I don't think so. But it may just be the most genre defining, it's certainly epic by shmup standards and it has probably pulled more peoples interest into the genre than any other game. The first time I loaded Silvergun it mesmorised me, I couldn't understand why I started with all the weapons but it felt empowering, you felt like you were the greatest most powerful ship in that universe from the start. It was experience versus the invading hoarde.

You take a helicopter ride and it doesn't fall from the sky in camera jarring spiral of FPS sicky.
Until later, when it does.
