  • Hey man, no Guardian Heroes review?

  • How I wish it was on the Vectrex Network.

  • Mark: I would hate to be the guy who spends $500 on a copy only to find it on Xbox live the next week for $15.

    Me: SPEAKING of which..............

  • maybe hip hop or skating gamES

  • sHY CaS.

  • i wish i had a time machine,cause i would go back to the day i had a brand new sealed copy of Radiant Silvergun in my hands and i put it back because i didnt wanna pay $29.99. ive been kicking myself ever since!!! biggest blunder of my life!!!

  • @Imtherealsaturnsonic - OUCH.  OUCCCCCCCH. I know I'm not helping, but I made a blind purchase the first day it came out because I had some more to burn and I liked the name...wow...

  • @MrFX313 - er money

  • I WANT RADIANT SILVERDOWN FOR VECTREX

  • @SatyriconMetalero Go go radiant silverdown *facepalm*

  • I have noticed something. He says he is not good at A LOT of games. That is a true gamer. If you suck at something you don't care and keep on truckin'. Keep gaming Youtube.

  • my parents just asked me what i wanted for christmas and i said radiant silvergun and they said ok !!!! so they ordered me a minty complete with spine card copy for $190 and they got me a radiant silvergun tshirt to match.

  • But Mark, every game already is available for download. Just... not in the way Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft would like them to be... :D

  • Best shmup ever. Hands down.

  • Mark, everytime I watch one or your retro reviews, I just wanna get an old style retro game for my DS.

  • It's on xbox live arcade for ten bucks. just bought it, and it's pretty kick ass.

  • I still remember playing this for the first time high as fuck. my buddy was like "you wanna play a crazy japanese shooting game?" I was like "yeah, i've played gradius back in the day"..... i had no idea.

  • "You'll be broke after you buy a copy of it so you might as well play it alot." HAHAHAHA wise words!

  • it's already out. imo

  • @mitzibishi, sorry I meant 'spread', not lock-on, as the third primary weapon.

  • @mitzibishi, from having played it for a short while, only your three 'main guns' (straight shot, homing and lock-on) can be actively upgraded. The other variations (minus the hyper sword) are different combinations of the main three, so let's say you've got both straight shot and homing up to level 2, then their combined shot (the two blue rays) should be stronger as well, I'd imagine. How do you upgrade? By 'chaining' i.e. only shooting enemies of one colour in succession with one weapon type.

  • 1:04 How prophetic.

  • Dinosaurs ate me.

  • It's on XBLA now. It's an amazing game.

  • galactic attack & layer section are the same!!

  • It is the future!

  • Can we expect a re-review of this game when it hits XBLA? :3

  • I don't know why, but I keep comparing this game to the movie Armageddon. Both movies have doomsday plots, both released in the same year, 1998, and both came out in the summer, July of 1998. Could Radiant Silvergun be inspired by Armageddon?

  • heard this is coming to XBLA and PSN

  • @unprofessionalvids It's actually exclusive to XBLA if I'm not mistaken.

  • @ViperAcidZX that's what they said about limbo too ;)

  • @unprofessionalvids That's what they said about Ikaruga too. And they were right. Unfortunately I would not expect to see RS on PSN if Ikaruga didn't even manage to make it. Shame.

  • I'm watching from the future! September 14th 2011, finally out on XBLA.

  • "Since it is a famous game, there's always those rumors circulating out there that finally it will be on XBLA or PlayStation or something, Vectrex." xDDDDD That part made me laugh pretty hard!

  • can anyone explain how the guns upgrade, theres only 1 faq out there and it doesnt explain very well. do they upgrade through general use or as i assume holding that gun on an enemy for a certain amount of bullets or time without missing and it will upgrade, but it only shows upgrades level for A,B,C onscreen. so what about the other guns, how do i know what level they are on? anyone got a list of how each gun upgrades?

  • @mitzibishi Your guns upgrade according to how many points you score using them. As for your four extra weapons, their levels are the sum of the weapon levels of the weapons that they are combinations of. For example, the A+C weapon (backwards machine gun) is the level of the sum of the levels of the A and C weapons.

  • 203,14 cent plus tax and shipping thats what ive paid for that gamegazzm.... i enjoyed this game alot worth every penny...

  • I paid $100 for a complete copy with spine and it was worth every penny and then some.

    Also, LOL x10 at comparing Radiant Silvergun to Galactic Attack.

  • Well Radiant Silvergun IS comming for XBOX live arcade later this year.

  • @matteste sucks to be the people that spent over $100 on it....

  • There are actually a lot more copies of Radiant Silvergun out and about then a lot of people would want to make you beleave. Production wise there was at least 300,000 copies of this game made; not even close to "rare" at all Sega Saturn standards. Collectors both in Japan and the US drove the price of this game up and up and up almost from the day it came out. And to be honest, the game is not THAT expensive if you were to actually go to Japan and try to find a copy there.

  • i can play better shmups then you, although ur better at reviewing them then me

  • Sega Saturn is one bad mofo

  • Treasure DOMINATED the genesis and saturn! I haven't heard about this game since it was announced at the Tokyo game show 2010 that it was getting an XBLA port but I hope it is still happening. If not, still got the saturn hooked up.

  • @viewtifuljoe99 I have Radiant Silver Gun on my Saturn with the action replay.

  • what i like about classic game room reviews is that i get the impression that its being reviewed by the 'average joe' and i like that, im personally a video game nut and know a lot about games and feel radiant silvergun is the best vertical shooter ever made period, oh and original copies of games are always better than ports.

  • wow that dude is really good at tht game

  • Well if someone feels like a download or a real copy are kinda the same thing, i can only feel very sad for that guy...

    That just does not happen, to buy a rarity game and then hit your head into the wall because it is available for download. Everything is available for download for free, sorry if i shocked you.

  • @AMYuntold Rare games are also collectibles and as is with collectibles, they may be worth quite a lot in a few years time. If you bought this when it was new and then sell it now, there is chance of making a profit out of it.

  • I wish this game and Ikaruga came out to the PlayStation Network!

  • What's the japanese dude saying??  coaching?

  • Earthbound is cheaper than that, but better!

  • @BluePBoxProductions

    Lol no, earthbound is ok when it comes to story and such but man as a fundamental RPG it sucks ass.

  • now thats a donation, well done

  • RADIANT SILVERGUN is cuming to xbl

  • We all need to find Jose from New Mexico and all take him out to a fancy dinner.

  • Comment removed

  • i played this game in italy, not many copies here..and it's insanely difficult, really, compared to ikaruga and bangai-o--this is much more frustrating, really for hardcore players.

  • Oh wait, it IS coming to XBLA! Shame for people who wasted 200-500 for not cleecting, but hey! Still amasing game

  • that games looks fucking awesome

  • wow mark totally robbed josé lol

  • I can't believe somebody would donate Radiant Silvergun, perhaps one of the most sought after games ever. He must REALLY love your reviews.

  • Hyper Duel is more expensive...Saturn = the machine for expensive importgames.

    Mixed feelings. Since I haven't bought this yet I'm sort of happy to hear it comes to XBLA (often destroys the value of games so it means it might get cheaper for me to get the original)...just hoping the SAT-shooters I already own dont. Might be cool for the casual gamer and all but it really shits on the collectors/those buying to play AND collect to have a 100$+ game suddenly get rereleased for nearly nothing.

  • looks like fun is it avalable on any thing else???

  • @bluehawk2121 it will be on xbox live arcade

  • What about the Scoring system? Chain Combos, Secret Bonuses, Grazing Points, etc... I think there's a lot to talk about.

  • $250 on Play-Asia. Dear god......

  • 3 Titles coming soon to XBLA that I can't wait to play:

    1)Yar's Revenge

    2)Radiant Silvergun

    3) Bangai-O: Missile Fury

  • Imagine how incredible this will look on the Xbox360! I can hardly wait..

  • THIS GAME WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON XBLA IN THE NEAR FUTURE!!!! YESSSS. It's confirmed. You can check out the trailer right now, right here on You Tube. It's really funny how Mark said he wouldn't want to be the guy who shoveled out hundreds for this game and have it pop up on XBLA the next week. I can't wait!!!

  • Jose in New Mexico... donation Sega Saturn game lot... Radiant Silvergun... ya, somehow all those words strung today either means that he is a gaint fucking idiot for donating this game, basically cuz anyone who owns this game KNOWS how much it's worth,,, OR his girlfriend got pissed at him and gave away all his stuff to various random people :-\

    eitherway, what an idiot. well, atleast we got a review out of it. i've loved this game ever since it came out!

  • @aj0049 or maybe he dont care about money, just want to wach an amazing review ;D

  • @VonSeux well true,,, these are some great reviews ;-) i <3 CGR

  • jose from mexico you are a legend

    

  • The one thing Mark failed to mention is the chain system,which enables you just to take out a certain colour of enemy all the way through a level to give you a much higher score,he also forgot to mention the ikaruga chain system(diffirent to the RS chain system)when he reviewed that game,which is a shame because they give both games massive replay value & adds to the overall greatness of both games!

  • Just about all shooters feel like clones of the same template, even on Saturn tbh.Radiant is the best shooter even if you don't prefer it as your fave shooter game. It just does things lesser shooters don't attempt and as a whole works so much better.Up there with Zelda Past, Zelda OOT, Mario64, Goldeneye, Halo1 etc

    From a glance of the game or having not played it a massive ammount, then yes you could argue this but otherwise no way

  • Shenmue II on dreamcast is £160 on amazon

  • this game actually is coming to xbox live

  • Sōkyū Gurentai / Terra Diver is a very nice (and rather affordable) saturn shooter too.

  • So nice this is coming out next year on XBLA. We need Guardian heroes next. A lot of rare games from Treasure. They used to make less copies than demand back in the day for that exact reason.

  • Treasure ALWAYS pushes the envelope. I bought Guardian Heroes on the Saturn about a year ago - cost me a whopping $120. Yes, it was worth it!

    BTW, I love your constant Vectrex references in your reviews. :)

  • @falariem

    120$ for guardian heroes ?!? You should have waited for a better occasion.

    I often see it for far less in european version on ebay. I bought mine for less than 40 $.

  • @EricBarbman That's true. But the European video standard isn't the same as NTSC (America and Japan), so I doubt it would work on my TV. If I spoke Japanese, that would handle it there, as the Japanese version is also much cheaper.

  • @falariem

    But the video output would still come from your NTSC Saturn, once you can boot a euro cd with a dedicated cartridge. I play all my games this way on my japanese Saturn.

    Best thing is to mod it, with a 50-60hz selector.

    At least, your US box is nicer than the Euro one :-)

  • if i had a time machine i'd buy lots of copys when they were new and sell them all for a huge amount of money

  • You mentioned DoDonPachi!!

    Sir, please do a review video of it! More people MUST know about DoDonPachi!!

    As far as this games goes, I didn't like it that much, but I'm more of a high action type shmupper who doesn't really like to think over thumb twitching. I will say this for everyone reading these comments after watching this video: Do NOT pursue this title if you just want a quick high action game.

  • This IS coming to XBLA in early 2011,god bless treasure!I can't wait to play this game I owned for the saturn years ago b4 it became a collecters item,I got it for the normal import game price(£50)brand new.I just hope they stay true to the original when converting it to xbla,from the footage I've seen it looks like it won't dissapoint,especially the hd graphics.ROLL ON 2011!..!..!

  • The XBLA version is forthcoming. I've seen purported screenshots.

  • You lucky bastard

  • The game is actually TBA 2011 for the XBLA.

  • this game sells for more than $1000 still in the package...

  • that game is FUCKING EXPANSIVE!!

    WAY EXPANSIVE THAN A SINGLE XBOX 360 GAME!!!

  • wow. i bow to the person who donated this rare game with high respect. he might be one of the few ppl on this planet who are not greedy. most ppl who are selfish will call him stupid. i just call him a generous person.

    btw. i would never worry if the game would be sold on XBLA. cuz for me owning a real copy of a game (and a real console) is much more worth as having a copy of the game on my XBLA. its something very different for me who loves to play orginal videogames on orginal consoles.

  • @Peondust

    I'm guessing he wasn't donated a legal version of the game.

  • Mark is more a Thunder Force guy. So am I. According to others though, RS is the best shmup ever.

  • jeez. This guy who donated the game to Marc could've made an easy $200.00 + on amazon or Ebay selling this game. It's nice people are donating games to ClassicGameRoom, but h was downright stupid to part with something that valuable. Good review anyway Marc.

  • @TargetRender maybe his not stupid and his just super rich

  • Jose from New Mexico donating games that cost a fortune? Shiit..

  • Wow. Mark was right. Radiant Silvergun is heading to XBLA.

  • the video just stopped at 1:37 and i can't watch anymore :(

  • I have trouble bringin myself to buy $100 JRPG's let alone this ;D

  • @strykah92 It's not becauase Treasure likes to release on unpopular consoles! Not sure how you came up with that one! :p

    The have a close bond with Sega, even to this day. They released quite a few games on the Sega Genesis/ MD, and that console sure wasn't unpopular.

  • The 3-D effects remind me of Einhander.

  • lol XD at 0:30 the girl looks like she wants to pee XDDDD

  • 6:38 Damn, that last part looked hard as hell. Shame they don't make games like they used too. May as well go beat that new game I got in under seven hours, with great graphics, yet not challenging and with no re-playability. *sigh* I sorta miss the old days.

  • off topic of the great rare game on review, does anyone find it funny/ironic that just about every CGR video has a beer ad on the page?

  • I found the music in this game to be exccelent! Definetly gonna get this once it comes out for XBLA :D

  • wait wait wait

    that guy DONATE a rare and expensive game!!!

  • @Luiscota1986 Jose from New Mexico is a very generous man.

  • @PandaBearParamedics

    yeah iI can see that...

  • @Luiscota1986 he donated the rom for the game, which is free

  • @Luiscota1986 It's not rare at all. In fact, it is one of the most common saturn games in Japan. Expensive, you bet. I think ever since the American market wanted it, Japanese vendors charged outrageous prices just so the can make a quick buck.

  • @TheDeathcoreGamer I know that problem very well since I bouth Demon´s souls from an american distribuitor some years ago before it was realesse in Europe.

  • @Luiscota1986 I remember that too. It was even impossible to get in the states for a period of time, but I remember everyone in Europe had to pay a ridiculous amount to get it. I hate when that happens!

  • its not a "real" copy of the game (watch the after burner 2 review)

  • MS annouced at the TGS 2010 show this will be coming to the XBLA.

  • you know this game is going to be released on XBLA next year it was announced at the Tokyo game show this year

  • Mark, will you be doing a review of the Saturn I donated to you along with all these games. It will help clear things up.

  • Jose, if you have Guardian Heroes for the saturn lend it to Mark so he can review it, lol

  • @thewatcher180 I never had that game , sorry.

  • looks stunning!

  • Um, why the hell is a Japanese orientated shmup gonna be EXCLUSIVE to XBLA? It's no secret that support for 360 in Japan is a Baron's wasteland. Just curious.

  • @strykah92 Same reason the original RS was on Saturn and not PS1 Treasure just likes releasing games on consoles with low popularity for some reason.

  • o snap, it comin to xbox live arcade, and this is just after he said that most games will be available to download :O

  • F5 fail :(

  • Why on earth would Jose just give away a game that is so rare and valuable? Did he know how much it was worth? I hope you send it back to him!

  • Did you tell Jose the asking price for that game before he donated it to you? If I were Jose, I'd feel completely ripped off - trying to do you a favor, but not knowing that I could get a lot of money for that which could be used to buy around 10 new games.

    I recommend that you send this game back to Jose after you're done with it.

  • @Rationalific I don't feel ripped-off at all. i just wanted someone who appreciates good videogames like Mark, to be able to play this great game without having to break the bank.

  • @malevolentburrito Then you are a saint, Jose.

  • @malevolentburrito Thank you Jose I've been waiting for CGR to review this game. It is one of the reasons I bought a Saturn but I wanted to hear what Mark thought of it before considering purchasing a copy.

  • @malevolentburrito

    God bless you. This was a great review of a great game.

  • @malevolentburrito i still own this game lol and i am 36 lol and i used to be able to finish this on medium difficultity

  • Would love to see this on the PSN.

  • @hooflung128 probs wait for 6 months, thats how long it takes

  • It's officially coming to Xbox Live, complete with online co-op and new HD visuals

  • This game is actually coming to XBLA next year. But yeah it's not really rare, it's just in high demand. A couple years ago you could walk into any used game store in Japan and get it fro under $30. Store owners got smart though and have been pulling their copies off shelves and putting it up on ebay.

  • Actually I seen it on ebay for $200. Even in the Buy It Now section. x:

  • Even if it was DLC I would rather buy the real version

  • i have 4800$ worth of games for each console at least

  • /watch?v=PuxvpnMHPWk

  • 2 users have spent 500$ for a 5$ game

  • If you have a copy of this game you should sell it very soon.

    watch?v=lfakyXCo_mY

  • The $500 Mark quoted for this game is totally wrong. There are Buy it Nows on Ebay for $200. Others sell for a lot less than that.

  • Radiant silvergun on the vectrex...

  • Comment removed

  • @robzavala

    wait, r u telling him to change the intro, or not?

  • @aapenjong Not to change the intro, i love the intro, my comment FAILED :(

  • lol dog at 3:45

  • Hey, this game takes place a few years before Reach!

  • @DrasticDavid96 Reach wouldn't happen according to this game, because human race is eliminated :D

  • OMG.. a Jose... In NEW MEXICO!? ... no ....way

  • is this based of an anime? or does it just have anime cut scenes

  • @TimeBomb014X Just anime cutscenes :)

  • This is why people just download roms or iso images. I would never spend that much on a game.

  • @bean420man

    This is also why I suck cock.

  • @bean420man but that takes the fun out of games :p

  • @PranksAreUs83 and it also takes the fun out of having money in your savings account. But to each their own.

  • @bean420man nes games are piss cheap so are super nintendo game genesis etc , so sure u can skip buying the expensive games but you can atleast buy the real deal cheap games

  • José is awesome!

  • @SolitudesGrace Vote for José!

  • I love how the game is all 2D awesomeness and then the boss comes and your like HOLY SHIT 3D EPICNESS!

    Some of the 3D backgrounds fuck with my eyes and head...

  • my goodness, this Hussein from New Mexico is a philanthropist.... I salute him....

  • @kwanho2006 Lol it's Jose. =P

  • @kwanho2006  i think he said "Jose"

  • i was looking for the review of radiant silvergun.

    and here it is. the first reviewer who ever own the most expensive shmup.

    or should i say the ultimate shmup.

  • i wonder if the guy who donated this knew that this game costs 500$...hmmm...well maybe his shit in his pants when he heard you say this game costs hundreds of dollars and regrets this donation lol unless he knew..that way he'll be a really nice guy for donating this.

  • @JustCause2Club

    Maybe it wasn't a legit copy. ;)

  • i just got my copy of ikaruga, and if was pretty afordible, jeah its also downloadible on xbox, but thats just the console i dont have.

    and most shmups are only realesed in asia anyway.

    if thay do ever start realesing treashure and cave shmups for download in europe ill be a happy man
