Radiant Silvergun: Arcade or Saturn?

[Acid King]

Get the saturn version, if only for the fact that saturn mode saves your weapon level after each play and so lets you ignore scoring if you want.

It's funny to me on here how some many folks will bash on a quality game yet leave games that are FAR worse alone with no comment.

It's because of Radiant Silvergun's universal mainstream acceptance as "The greatest shooter ever". Thats why there's backlash against it. Casual players who have no real benchmark for shooters consider it the best ever despite valid complaints about the score system and the game design, probably because they don't play for score.
