See, it's full of purists here, and appearantly everybody's got the DC Jap version (me too), because of course that's absolutely mandatory if that's the original format. Everyone's got a soft spot for Jap DC shooters anyway.
Then again, the game isn't all that great (I hate it, but I'm not alone), so the niche is even smaller :P

But then again, I heard somewhere that the PS2 and GC versions are exactly the same as the DC one, but some added modes... so if I had to guess... yes, it should have tate.
Good luck finding the truth :D
Alas, Ikaruga is going...

Undesired, unwanted them...
What makes them go?

I vaguely recall someone saying that the PS2 port had a lot of slowdown...

OH YEAH?

A lot of slowdown?...

...that's an understatement!

I quite enjoy it, as I do much better at picking up the ground items when the game is in slow-mo.

I got Radirgy Precious today and I'm really disappointed.
Right now I can only play it in Yoko, but by doing this I noticed two annoying things:

1. Terrible slowdown;
2. Softened graphics, they just look horrible compared to the DC version.

I'm so glad I played the Dreamcast version first, the PS2 port is definitely a letdown, I don't care about extra modes whatsoever....
