I like playing Beat Hazard but I wish the things you shoot lined up with the music more cohesively

garbage, im glad the fad to have your own music effect games died away. if your gonna play a twin stick shooter at least play geometry wars, it has all the neon colors and particle effects to keep your monkey brain entertained

Horizontal shmups are the better kind. Darius, Battle Mania, Sexy Parodius, Lords of Thunder

yeah all the time im playing great gam esp rade i have been like, this freedom of movement is bullshit what i really want is a bunch of environmental obstacles to be forced into certain paths like it was some sort of treasure game

the helicopter boss in the park of esp rade is really hard and since i refuse to play as the little girl because of the annoying sound samples whenever you power up sound so grating its stopping my progress

A lot of the top scores on shmups forum are set with JB5th, but I think the top one right now is Yasuke. Anyway I use JB5th too. Wide shot takes out the popcorn to you can worry about dodging/setting up your splatter shot.

im not playing for score because of the out of control boss milking that is super boring

most of the good shmup ports on home systems are for dreamcast and 360,

its insane how many are out on the 360 especially since no one in jap bought one

if you want ps2 shmup probably just go for the ones that were made only for ps2 like
rtype final and uhhhhh probably other stuff i dont care about so i cant remember. i dont remember if the dragon blaze port was good but if it was it is worth getting
