I swear that no matter how many shooters i play, nothing gets me pumped up=
more than Gate of Thunder. i love my Lords (which may be a better game), =
Ikaruga, Border Down, MAgical Chase, and so many other shooters but, what m=
akes Gate of Thunder so great? PRESENTATION....MUSIC....SOUND EFFECTS...SP=
EED!!! =20
i have yet to play a level of any game that can consistently get me as exci=
ted as Level 6 (i can:t remember the name of the stage....DARK CITY?) of =
Gate of Thunder. that rockin music, the speed of the ship at the midpoint,=
and more. i don:t care what anyone says, nothing on the genesis or snes (m=
uch as i love those systems) delivers a more sensational 5 minutes. =20
so, all of that being said, i adore LORDS too. i often wonder which game i=
like more. i think GATE`s music is better. great closing theme. every t=
ime i hear that music (i have it on several of my music discs which i made =
at home), i think of my years as a turbo fan and gamer and of how i:d drool=
over it at Toys RUs. my favorite piece of Duo music ever for sure. as fo=
r lords, man, it:s got power, teeth, nuts, and again, can take on any compe=
titors.
so, as i stroll through i akihabara when i can, i:d like some opinions on o=
ther PC=E3=83=BBTurbo shooters please. i have never played Sapphire, Sprig=
gan 1 or 2, Rayxamber III or some others. i have played the Soldier Blade =
games, the zonks, dead moon (which i really enjoy), aero blasters (difficul=
t game), magical chase (does anyone NOT like this game)? so, shooter advic=
e, lords vs. gate thoughts, etc. please?
tell me about the music in the games i haven:t played and any other reviews=
or thoughts you might have.
thanks, george
