Summary:
Galatic Attack, the very first installment along with Ray Storm and Ray Crisis, is arguably the best installment out of 3. It's so depressing for the fact that shooter genre is no longer mainstream in video gaming, however, if you are looking for a really good(I said REALLY GOOD)shooter and you still own Sega Saturn, then please get this game because you will thank me tremendously.
This very first installment, also known as Layer Section in Japan, set the standard way to high for its sequels to catch up with. The second installment, Ray Storm, did managed to catch its magic, with substandard-graphic-but-with-better-ending, however, last installment, Ray Crisis, falls flat on the ground.
The game is obviously very challenging, most challenging out of 3, and graphic is just sweet, JUST SWEET-. The music was done by Zuntata, whose work involve with Darius Gaiden and Ray Storm, and you can really tell and will be grateful.
If you look at the title of each stage, you will feel, almost feel that this is not just a mere shooter game, but because of that title you can almost sense the story line flowing as you go along. I think that's really something, being able to convey the feel of storyline just with title of each stage? You gotta play for yourself to see what I mean.
I remember playing this game again, again, and again to finish- it's really tough, you will have to put lot of time into it.
To be honest with you, I've literally played all the shooter games available on all the dominating console systems(ok, may be not all of them and I'm not being proud here), strictly 2D, and I would pick Galatic Attack as the best shooter in domestic gaming without any hesitation. What about graphically superior games like Silpheed for PS2? What about classics like Gradius 3&4? What about so called innovative Einheinder for PS? What about arguably best game for DC, Mars Matrix? Really, mark my word, Galatic Attack will just dominate them, not necessarily because it has better graphic or more innovative feature, it's will just blew away the competition because of its tight gameplay and all the thrill you will enjoy out of this shooter. Everyone has different taste on different games, but I LOVE SHOOTERS- I love shooters than any other genre and I'm proud to admit that(ok, again, not being proud here).
So if you are looking for a shooter (now, you will have to be REALLY WANTING for a GREAT shooter here..)with awesome graphic, intuitive music, palm-sweating gameplay, and making-you-playing-it-again-and-again challenging factor, with everything in balance to give you that masterpiece feel, look no further and pick this one of the best shooter of all time, really, I'm not joking here.
Well, I'm truly honored, truly honored to be the first one to review this game and I dedicate this review to Galatic Attack, one of the best shooters of all time! I know no one's gonna read this review since it's the game for deceased Sega Saturn, however, if you happened to read this and own Sega, then you know what to do, right? (mild smile)
Enjoy it-
