Disclaimer: My skill and experience in this genre is low.

Game: For some reason, the least intimidating Dodonpachi game. Tons of ways to play. Stark contrast to earlier games in the series graphically, but beautiful. Has the prettiest score items of any Cave game except maybe Espgaluda II. My skill at survival and scoring is too low to evaluate it on a real level, but I can say that it makes me want to get better. I like the Black Label soundtrack the best.

Port: The consensus is that this is a good port, in terms of input lag, slowdown, etc. I haven't played other versions, but I can say the input lag feels very acceptable. My only complaint is that the training mode could be a bit better (Maybe only missing the black label TLB? Unsure).

Hopefully someone can bring the rest of the Dodonpachi (and Donpachi) series to steam. Especially the other CV1000 entry SDOJ...

It's a classic.
