as i'm new....

Post by sjewkestheloon »

to shmuping in general i've always been a little cynical about the complaints of differences in ports. as of today however i can agree. last night i got the play-it published pal release of strikers 1945 i and 2. i have spent a lot of time with part 2 on the ps1 and expected exactly the same experience. however the sound in the ps2 release is far superior, with the muffled tunes of the ps1 release seemingly tidied up, and i don't know whether i'm imagining it but the flying pancake seems to be a little quicker and more smooth. it just feels likea different game in a certain way. very strange...

also got the gunbird collection but haven't tried that yet.

i'll say it again. DAMN YOU PUBLISHERS who remove high score saving... grrrr

so you would say strikers 1945 part 2 is better than one then? if so i may buy it for saturn if the music has really been improved. 1st one annoyed me :evil:

I've only played the PS-1 port which I thought was pretty faithful conversion, without those slowdowns on the Saturn.

But I found bad that it was missing the cool Saturn Intro & the Arcade intro. Also it would have been good if had a volume adjustement option. The SFX were too loud compared to the music.
THe Panorama screen option of Raiden Project would have nice aswell. Its so cool vertical shmups streched to fit the whole TV screen.

Whats the PS-2 version like, in the Graphics & sound department?
Is it better than the PS-2 port?
Doe sit have the above options & intro?
