Giga Wing Generations… just horrible!

Post by ST Dragon »

Today I tried Giga Wing Generations for the PS-2 and boy was I horrid by that atrocity!
Graphics and music were horrible (Many 16-bit shooters have better visuals & audio than that), gameplay, controls & weapons sucked.
Other than the name, it has nothing in common to the previous 2 titles which were quite good games respectively.

The question is why?!
Was this game even made by the same people that created the previous 2 games?

I feel sorry for the people who blindly bought this back then. ;)

The original Type-X version of the game is much better than the PS2 one, but still sucked overall.

Yeah, like that whole reflecting bullets thing. Why did they remove it, since it was the distinctive feature of the series? Oh, wait, it's still there.
