I bought it for the ds off of ebay when it came out, and it is one of the worst shooters i have ever played. If silver surfer on the nes never came out, this would be the worst shmup. it's just bad all over and reaks of repetitiveness

Okay, so maybe I'm a sucker, but I just bought this for my Wii over the weekend. Haven't had a chance to boot it up yet, but I kind of enjoy Euroshmups, so maybe I won't think it sucks as hard as everyone else does :D

At least I got it cheap...

You know.... I had no idea how this game played until I tried it on the PS2.

I sorta like the Missile Command control scheme though, which was already used in other games such as SDI and Uchuu Senkan Gomora. So I don't know.... I think I might enjoy OC when I finally get some time to play it.... :roll:

Wow, this is one of the most boring shmups I've ever played. It's not even crap in a funny way, just boring crap. Tons of enemies, but since you sub can take like a milion hits there is never any danger. I 1-lifed it on my first attempt while spending a lot of time reading a book and just pressing down the fire button. One of the worst cases of non-asian engrish as well. The enemy has been destructed!

Oh, well. I only bought it because the PS2 version might become rare sometime in the future :)

In this rare case I did do the same. Mine's still sealed. I did think about opening for the 1CC, but it sounds like it isn't worth the effort of fiffdling arounbd trying to grab the end of the unwrapping thread!
