How bad's the slowdown in GC Radirgy?...

I would rather get this on the Cube, since I have the Digital Pad/Game Boy controller, but I do remember reading about slowdown issues-how much is there in this port. And does it spoil the gameplay to any extent, compared to the DC port?

There is no bullet-induced slowdown, but it's replaced by enemy-induced slowdown that happens in two parts of stage 4 and 5 each.

You can also score 20 million more points than the DC and PS2 revisions, but it's not like you'll ever care about that.

If it's just in two parts of stage 4 and 5, then it doesn't sound that bad. How much does it hurt the overall gameplay?

Milestone's Internet Ranking page. I also noticed that my average score on the GC revision in Arcade Mode is higher (70m) than my current average DC revision score (60m), so something's going on.
