I just saw this at a Toys'R'Us for 59.99 unopened. Is this a good game, and is it worth the price? I heard that its rare from someone, so I dunno...

Laters.

I would take it up to the clerk and ask them to scan it. It shouldn't be $60.

Is the game good? Well, it depends. If you know what you getting into (Old-skool Treasure Shooter, great fun Very Happy), then get it. If you don't like shooters, or having to devote time to learn the levels, then I would skip it. But you could always sell it on e-Bay....

Order it off the internet. Standard pricing for this game on the internet is about 40.00. 59.99 from a retail store is a bit steep. Search yahoo or amazong or ebay. Can get the game for around 40.

59.99 does seem expensive, but I'll ask the guy to be sure. You guys should check out your local toys'r'us. The one I went to had like over 50 games. It was crazy.

Toys 'R' Us is a great place to find NEW Dreamcast games. Granted, you won't find stuff like new copies of Street Fighter III (though my TRU has Double Impact for a cool $20) and the Marvel Vs. Capcom games, but you can find a mix of common and uncommon games, with a few rares. (Gee, sounds like a pack of Magic: The Gathering cards, huh?)

Man I'm really thinking about this game, but 60 seems outragous. How are the graphics and gameplay? Is it multiplayer?

I found it at EB when it was still new and got it for 30$. Laughing

If you get it though, be prepared to be humiliated and destroyed by the final boss. He has got to be the hardest boss ever. I still haven't beaten him. It is the uberhard. And mark my words, YOU WILL BE frustrated. Rolling Eyes

EDIT: The gameplay is insane. Imagine this: you have access to two charas, one that fires lasers that are good for small, enclosed spaces, and another that fires lock on missiles, good for large, open spaces. you can switch between them by pulling a trigger. and in a lot of situations, you have to...otherwise you die. You also have a scatter bomb, which releases a huge amount of missiles. But this is where it gets crazy: the more things on the screen, the larger the scatter bomb is. (Also, destroying things give you power for it). It can slowdown some times when the scatter bomb is released and there are 150+ enemies on the screen, but nothing that's too annoying. the graphics are alright, but definitely not the strong point. Small sprites. BEWARE though: very bad translation. It can be funny at times ( if you pause the game, you get 'Do you realy want to quit now?'), but confusing. Definitely worth 40 dollars. I don't know if it's worth 60.

OH I think i completly neglected to bring up, this game has the....WIERDEST death screen out of any game i have ever seen on a home console. When you die, it shows the boy character frolicking NAKED through path in the woods, with what looks like, Ku Klux Klan people with "DC" on their forheads, chasing after him with candle sticks or something. It is beyond disturbing.

I'll find a picture of it and post it in this thread, its so insane.

O yea, nikon, I completely forgot about that. IT'S INSANE. Scares me. There's the message 'I must be dreaming' above it.
