Only thing I heard was something about some of the last bosses ring shots looking worse or something, is that it? I wanted to know what makes the game look worse on PS2 exactly.

Yeah that applied to the last boss rings

The graphics are "technically" worse on PS2, but it's definitely nothing that affects playability. For someone like me who's not particularly schooled in "dissecting" graphics and whatnot, they're pretty close to identical.

The PS2 version looks damn good to me, but I haven't played the DC version. From what I've heard the overexposure of certain lighting effects has been toned down so that individual bullets are easier to make out in places.

OK tonight everything fell into place. I just had to learn to watch my guage and then once i have the field up don't hesitate. Just keep riding the bullets towards enemies ect. That and I had to learn to see pathways in the bullets to dodge and buzz. It's kinda like arches and colums inbetween the arcs. Bosses I had to learn to sit still at times to dodge and wait for the meter to change and the right bullet patters to appear to buzz.

This game is alot of fun, the buzz thing is bizarre and hard but it's kinda like learning to ride a bike. I just had to keep at it till it clicked. Thanks for the advice you folks gave but I think the best was just to practice and keep at it till it clicks.

This game is really addictive, this may sound odd but it gives me that same feeling as a really good puzzle game. I remember being addicted to Klax and Tetris way back when. I get that same kinda "must get better and farther" feeling. I just get really satisfied when I manage to buzz threw a majority of a stage.

The visuals are much better than I expected and I like the rotating and spinning backgrounds. The music is nice to, fits the game and it's somewhat fast paced. I really missed out on this when it came out, totally went threw my radar.

I'm playing the DC version with no roll button so I'm feeling pretty reassured that I'm getting better.

Dc has VGA, other than that they are very close

You know every weekend I see and get more out of this game. It seems the longer you play the better you get. I guess that's a really obvious point.

This game is so much fun and addicting. This weekend I really started to realize the patters in the bullets and that the color of the actual bullets themselves matter. Also figured out how to exploit the bosses patteres against them.

I guess many would argue with me on this but as far as "I" go this is hands down one of the most addictive shooters or game I've played in a long while. It's like trying to continuously surf bullets.

I'm playing the DC vers, I bet that roll button comes it really handy.
