I'd like to add to moozooh's reply.
In addition to destroying the side containers, you cannot destroy the central container that contains the 1up with a bomb. Using the shot or laser to destroy the central container is fine. I think you can still get the 1up even if you destroy the side containers with the bomb, though.LtC wrote:Extra extends:
I've gotten twice an extra 1up during stage 3 and for the first time I thought I was just hallucinating but now I got it the second time from the bridge of the big ship near the end of stage 3.
I have played Shikigami no Shiro II with the PS2 and PS3 pads for the PS2 version of the game and with the keyboard for the PC version. And I have used the keyboard for many other shmups for about seven years. As for Shiki II, I get similar results from using the pad and the keyboard, so I am comfortable with using a PS2 or PS3 pad.LtC wrote:Pads:
I'm a person who's always played with keyboard and I've considered on getting the saturn pad. Are there others here who've played with keyboard for a long time and successfully gotten used to pads?
I'm not comfortable with using the left stick or the D-Pad on the Xbox 360 controller, however. Moving diagonally is tough for me to do comfortably on the left stick, and moving diagonally is something I do by accident on the D-Pad when I just want to move left or right.
Basically, if you want to try out the Saturn pad, I don't think you need to worry about switching movement control between your left and right hands. Worry more about whether you can move more comfortably with the pad than with the keyboard.
