I wonder why reviewers always concentrate on a shmups length, its a classic case of "not getting it" We dont see this crap with other arcade genres like fighters (or platformers & racers) which can also be spammed with continues for 30 minutes until the ending credits

Let me spell it out, the games are ment to be short where you replay it getting better each time. The difficulty and complexity of many arcade games mean that giving it a game length of hours will just make it a chore to play for anyone who wants more out of it than to credit feed and look at the pretty colours

Personally I partly blame CAVE for giving ppl unlimited continues because most folk dont understand the concept about 1 credit only or atleast limiting the continues so it still provides a challenge for their skill level

@tall You're assuming 73% is a bad score. It isn't. That, and you're assuming I "don't do this crap with other arcade genres." I do.
