It's not terribly hard, but the anchor mechanic is fun as hell and makes it worth playing.

I'd go for the PS2 -Enhanced- version since it has Faintear as a playable character & some other stuff, plus my PS2 can play JPN, though I don't plan on importing it anytime soon or downloading it since I don't have a 360.

Speaking of Radio Allergy (& Chaos Field), I need to see if I can find Ultimate Shooting Collection, which has those 2 & Karous. GameStop had it for only about $15 online (but they're out of stock).

I'm a fan of the Darius, Gradius, and R-Type series. Also liked Castle Shikigami 3 from what I played of it. Einhander was p good, too.

Ever play Darius Gaiden Extra on the 2P side?

TOUHOU TOUHOU TOUHOU

oh and Ikaruga too. Loved it on the DC, but goddamn I cannot find a copy of the GCN version and I've been looking for like years
I started playing Castle Shikigami but not very much so I suck.

Gradius III, Touhou PCB, Aero Fighters 2 and 3, All Metal Slug Games excluding 7 (I haven't played it yet), and Raiden. If you notice, most of them are arcade games.

Why has no one said Pulstar yet

or twinkle star sprites for that matter..

I played Twinkle Star Sprites on GameTap when they had free games you could play. It was a rather interesting take on the shmup. It sure did get hard near the end.

Either that or Phantasmagoria of Flower View but that gets stupid hard once the bullet count soars.

All 28 stages in a row. You get fully powered up or close to it after zone G but don't think it's any easier afterward.
