This game is awe-inspiring! I used to play this with friends all the time... That was back in the day that the keyboard allowed more than 3 buttons to be pushed at once. Having one play with the mouse and player 2 with the keyboard makes it work though! The sheer onslaught of content makes this a keeper.

Too bad at episode 4/5 the game gets stupid(shooting eyes, mouths,lips and fruits, ahh come on!!!!)

I agree with every one of the thing you said, even the stupidity of the lasts episode (but that doesn't mean that they aren't fun as all hel ;P). I love this game, even when I am not a shooter lover. But THIS game is awesome!

Hi. I am a game addict, and find this game to be good.

After mauling and swearing my way through it on normal, I have started again on hard.

When I learned how to change direction of my rear gun (using enter) I found a new respect for some of the alternate weapons.

I still have to walk away from the game when it gets me all steamed up, but I always come back.

(I apologize for all of the run-on sentences... it just happens.)

It's GOOD!!!

OUT!

Hmmm. seems I spoke a bit too soon... game still slows to an absolute crawl on 'dark' missions... and even discounting that the speed is still a bit unstable and can slow down a bit when there are lots of enemies and/or platforms on the screen. Using the High graphics setting, 12000 cycles & 0 frame skips.

Turn the details down another notch and set frameskip to 1.

Do you know what this is? There's a symbol of a white ship permanently in the upper left corner, and when the main gun doesnt fire for a few seconds it makes a swoosh and a flash of light which I haven't seen any use for.

You've picked up one of the specials. There are six types of them: Soul of Zinglon, Repulsor, Attractor, Flare, Pearl Wind and Ice Beam.
From your description, it sounds like the one you've found is Soul of Zinglon. The light beam will damage all enemies caught in it.

Yup, Zlingon rings a bell. I must have gotten it during the Zlingon Ale level at the end of ep1.
Now that I know, I can restart in order to avoid the annoying slowdowns caused by this (great, but unfortunately lagging) artifact. Thx!

Meh. Just try finding the Attractor, Repulsor or Ice Beam to replace it.
