I'd have to say G2 is better in every department.

Dragon Blaze kicks it's arse though :D

I played some more GB1 today (why does Valnus feel so weak to me now? :( ), and I don't have an issue with the charge shot. The way I see it, I'd have to think the charge shot was designed to be use strategically -- you've got to know the level layouts and the enemy patterns, and use it at the best given opportunity. You can't use it whenever you feel like killing something really fast, because unless you can use the shot to your advantage, then don't use it. Hell, I was on that level with the changing green ball (second to last level), and one of its forms is something I've never seen before, some kind of dancing panda. I had planned to use to the charge shot because I expected the weak fish, but Psikyo fooled me, the bastids.

My love for Gunbird (and Psikyo) rises.

Pay $20 for Dreamcast Gunbird 2
Pay $60-70+shipping from Hong Kong or wherever for the PS2 port.

I can assure you this isn't console fanboyism, I just want you to give me a rational explanation as to why I should pay significantly more for a shit port :lol:
Of course, you're right. I tend to forget that GB SE was released only in europe ^_^;

After reading this I hunted GB: SE down - I found it in my local Blockbuster for £4.95!
