More of what you'd expect if you own the Dreamcast or N64 versions. The first thing you'll notice upon playing the game is the improvements to weapon types and gameplay, especially the dash ability. Soon after, you'll notice that this game is extremely difficult, bordering on frustrating. Overall, it is very challenging at first, but once you learn what you're doing it isn't as bad as it seems. The challenge level on this game actually makes it more addicting than fun. It's hard to put down. Unfortunately, most of the levels are extremely short. Don't be surprised if you beat all 150 levels in just a few days. If you're a veteran of this title, it won't take long. I'd have to say that this installment in the series is slightly more difficult, and also slightly less fun. But for a hand-held, this game plays just like a console, with the exception that there are simply no massive levels. If you're a fan, you'll soon get over the difficulty level, and find yourself playing over and over to achieve new high scores and times. If you get extremely bored, you can resort to using the level editor, but personally, I haven't found the need for that yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly evolved shooter insanity, October 15, 2008

This game is the new Robotron. What Robotron did was put an insane number of enemies and bullets on the screen and challenge you to find a way to overcome. Bangai does the same with better graphics, better weapons, and better levels. Its always doable, but the number of objects on the screen gets utterly ridiculous. This is a certain game design/mentality (think robotron, R-type etc.) taken to an extreme and somewhat absurd level. A thing of beauty indeed.

If you have a Nintendo DS, you must have this game.
Bangai-O Spirits keeps up the fantastic Treasure tradition, and brings it to a new world via the NDS. There are long, very colorful levels, over the top visuals, and a sweet soundtrack. The difficulty curve starts easy enough, so it's a good pick up and play game.

The price tends to fluctuate a bit, as for right now, in January 2010, it's less than $10.00 for a new copy!! Grab it while you can. It's worth a gamble at twice the price.

There is no more fun way to waste time, than with a well done shooter. Games like this are unfortunately, in the minority.

If you like fun [and who doesn't] and beautiful graphics, near perfect sound, you must own this game.

I hate the hyperbole that some reviewers put in their reviews, but with a piece of silicone perfection such as this, you have little choice!
