Is Giga Wing Generations any good?

Post by Raizen1984 »

I had fun with the first two Giga Wing games, and was curious about this one, which I haven't played or even seen. Is it worth tracking down a japanese PS2 version? What do you guys think?

GWG arcade version = bullets coming in from the sides that never get cancelled. Sniper tanks++

Also, choppier framerate than PS2 version.

Graphics are very ugly and i dont rate the soundtrack at all, but the gameplay is decent enough. Just dont pay too much for it and you probably wont be dissapointed, maybe

all 4 FPS ALL 4 FPS

I tried this out and it's quite good. Boss milking can do the usual to me (lick my nuts) but I'm a sucker for high numbers which I can't count into. Funny but I could have sworn this had an European release.. guess not.

It did, by 505 Games. Bit hard to find tho, Amazon seems to have few copies.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Upgrading to Type X+ video card takes care of the framerate problem.
