Mushihime-sama? I think it translates as insect princess or something similar.

Its got me miffed as to why they have it in the first place?

I wouldn't say mushi is a bad port, but it does have those odd looking scaled graphics.

For £15 quid it is one of the best buys on the PS2.

And DOJ is a good port as well

It's not arcade perfect but it's still just as enjoyable to play as the arcade. There's no reason not to pick up the PS2 port IMO especially as the Taito Best version is so cheap.

Graphics look fine to me on my old TATE'd CRT set.

That is, until you play the actual arcade version. Then you're like... ftw?! I'd buy it had I no way to play the PCB.

I have played the arcade version, I still love my PS2 copy.

Maybe because they're, you know... an arcade and not a PCB reseller? They don't exist to buy new-ish games for a high price just to turn around and sell it to you for a lower price without trying to make a few bucks from operation first.

I'm considering picking up Mushihimesama on PS2. Just wondering, besides graphical differences, how is the PS2 version inferior to the arcade?

Yeah, no joke. Search function -- it works wonders. There's a 20-page Mushi thread here, no?

Shotgunfacelift · Post by **Shotgunfacelift** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 11:07 pm

I couldn't imagine the ps2 version being anywhere close to the pcb.
The amount on screen at once is huge!

I think the arcade just wanted you out of their hair ASAP, at any price. 'grats on the good deal.

I already did a search, and all the arguments seemed to be towards the fuzzy filtering. I just need clarification on the negative opinion towards this game, as this can't be the only reason?

The game reinvented the DDP chain system, focusing on skyrocketing the chain rather than slowly build it. ULTRA-technical game if you ask me, and GREAT general design too. I mean, chara-design, level design and graphic.
Obviously someone could not agree with this, but don't listen to Raizing fanboys

Now, said that, who cares about some slowdown issues? Something is a bit slower, something is a bit faster, nothing that ruins the game.
