I honestly must say, this is a fantastic shooter for the fact that you use only 1 button (In the arcade version for sure, but I haven't played it on DC)
@TheDabeavis the dreamcast version is just slightly different if you press A rapidly it will do your normal shot and if you wait a second before pressing A it will do the pierce cannon but if you hold the R trigger it will continuously do your pierce cannon.
doesnt anyone else get pissed off when they have to skip past a 30 second unrelated intro to every video? you have to wait for the intro to load before you can skip it. sure, it's not a big deal, but it's also unnecessary as hell.
@TrevHead10 I found out about the hit box rule after doing some research online awhile back. As for this game, I think the player doesn't get penalized for bumping your ship into the enemies. (besides the hit box being smaller than the ship)
ive had this and gigawing 2 for dc for awhile now. havent even checked em out. these reviews are makin me wanna play!! too bad the gf is hogging the tv ><
Never a fan of games that have to much going on screen at any given time, i like time to look around as see what im doing rather than just mashing buttons like an automaton
@FuzzyScotsman shmups especially modern ones while been very simple to pick up and play are actually very deep and rewarding games for anyone who wants to delve deeper. Unfortunatly normal gamers dont realise this, instead thinking shmups and other old school arcade games as shallow. And it doesnt help when most non japanese made shmups (called euroshmups) really are shallow and brainless
In Mars Matrix use the highly powerfull cannon not your main weapon, dont use the bomb instead u want to shoot the enemies bullet back at them to gain lots of cubes, plus if you only drain your specials pwr by just alittle so it recharges fast allowing u to use it more often. Learning to score well and gaining exp is a must as it powers up your main weapon making the game allot easier
Dreamcast was the shit, I remember playing this game for hours and lets not forget Street Fighter Third Strike no loading I miss the DC we need a DC2!!!!
@fallenangei They're just no fun to play; there's no sense of a well-constructed and finely honed shmup from them. I liked 東方文花帖, but that's the only one that really offered anything interesting - Touhou has shot to popularity on the strength of its rubbish anime artwork, rather than playability. Hey, if you like them you like them, but they should remind you of Mars Matrix, not the other way around.
@fallenangei touhou is mostly just boss battles which is all about moving in very small dodges. Arcade shmups like this, cave games and some doujin while might have tough bosses but its the parts before you meet the bosses that are the most fun. They are usually have deep and complex level design requiring the player to use allot of strategy if they want to say alive or score well. Most gamers dont understand this and dont see the complexaty at all when they play or watch a good japanese shmup
omg its all comming back to me all the days of gettin high and playing this game with friends and gettin fustrated cuz my freind cant use the bomb on time but love this game
@DeizelMassacre I'm not a Sega fan at all, I hate all the old sonic games, though I liked Sonic Shuffle and Sonic Adventure. But even though I never liked the Genesis or master system I loved Saturn and DreamCast. I guess I just started lliking them more as I matured.... But today the DC is one of my best consoles and is still the one I play most.
I have this game on my PSP running on a CPS2 emulator. It's awesome! I love how you're constantly recharging your special weapon where you hold the fire button and it sets off a nuke! There aren't a whole lot of top-down shooters that use only one button, but this one pulls it off nicely.
The reviewer doesn't seem to mention that you can 'reflect' bullets, or that this is made by Takumi, the makers of Giga Wing. Then again, I haven't watched all three of these things, so meh.
Can anyone tell me aht are those games he mentions? I know of Radiant Sylvergun and Border Down, but I would like to track down the others to play them myself:-)
@J0Diaz Get Zero Gunner 2, Under Defeat, Cannon Spike, Last Hope Pink Bullets and DUX, the last 2 which just came out within the last 2-3 years. Also, google "Dreamcast Shmups", and click the racketboy link #2. It shows just about every shooter released for the system.
I am still building up my shooter collection. I might add that the Neo Geo CD emulator for the Dreamcast also has some great shooters too.
@BFKAnthony817 Thanks for the advice. I got Zero Gunner already, it´s the one where you play with a badass helicopter, right? And I would like to play the Neo CD games but I don't know how to burn a DreamCast game... I have an image file already but it's divided into 4 parts and I don't know how to merge it so I can burn it. I own Nero 7 Ultra, Roxio, DVD Fab for burning and I also have ISOBuster and daemon tools but I can't figure out qhat to do.... Can you recomend anything?
@vasquez123100 Dreamcast was released in 1998 :S. Buy a seccond hand one. It's a shame that these great classic games aren't played as much as they should be.
@nickter yeah i have a dreamcast and awsome but now on this days its geting a lil too old now im not saying its not good but it would be ok to play otherconsoles these days
@nickter I´m with you on this. The DreamCast is a great cosole, I still have mine and ply MarsMatrix, GigaWin 2 and GunBird 2... As well as Project Justice and Street Fighter 3-Alpha 3, plus Power Stone Skies of arcadia and Grandia2... I whish Sega could bring a console with this kind of quality games as they did with the DC... :-( I miss those days...
@J0Diaz Have you heard the rumors .Some people think that sega is going to make there new arcade hardware ringedge into a console. These rumors have stemmed from the fact that sega approved a patent for Hard drive on July 7, 2009.Because of these patents, rumors have been spreading that Sega is going to release a new home console based on Ring hardware in 2011 or 2012. Sega has yet to clarify exactly why the Hard Drive and Controller patents were issued, possibly because these rumors may be true
@ATARI800XLfan And have you heard that sega is planning on offering DreamCast games as well as Saturn games for down load via PS network and XBox Live? It's certainly awesome to be a gamer this days. Hope Sega returns to console mfg, as Nintendo returned to be the leader on the console market and portable.

Some may say it's not hard for a Bullet Hell Shooter, well maybe(i don't know that many). But if you heading for a high score run, which is somewhat the goal in this games, you can't use continues. Means you try score as high as possible while going as far as possible with only your 3 lifes, and THAT is fucking hard core. I know it, it try it right now(without success). Damn good and adictive game btw
This review inspired my to get another Dreamcast (I had sold mine in the past).. Since then I have got almost evry DC shooter in one way or another, the same for the Saturn and have discovered indie bullet hell games like Perfect Blossom! Thankyou Classic game room!!
This game is awesome - obviously it looks great; what I really like as well is it keeps you coming back for more - you earn extra lives, credits, art, guides etc. the more you play - shooters like this really captivate me.
The genre of this game is called "Danmaku" which means "Bullet Hell". These kinds of games are very popular now in Japan. The First game I ever played of this genre was called "Don Pachi" for the Playstation. I hope you can do a review of that game sometime because that is what literally started the genre.
I actually thought of the Pluto Matrix thing before you said it (lol)... It would have been better than Mars Matrix, but maybe not as good as U.N. Squadron (or Wind Squid).
WTF??? This narrator doesn't know shnit about this game!!! I know I'm going to sound like a completely F*ckin Greektard but I spent hundreds of dollars in the arcade playing this game for hours before I ever knew it exsisted on dreamcast. Mars did not have aliens it was colonized by earth and the people of mars wanted to be separate. So the war for control of mars began. Two ships: BLUE, lasers. RED a spread shot. both came equipped with a blaster cannon, shields and particle bomb.
I played so much of M.M. that my friends and parents tried to buy the arcade game so I could spend so time at home... Damn I was a dork, nerd, loser whatever you want to call it. (Might still be) Yeah I said it before any of y'all could. And Pink Hurrican??? WTF???
As a shmup fan, I wanted to like Mars Matrix but I found this game annoying. The shield sucks because it takes too damn long to recharge as you avoid near impossible to dodge bullet patterns, the experience system is dumb because you have grab those cubes quicky to chain up your exp and you'd mostly likely die trying that, and did I mention IMPOSSIBLE BULLET TO DODGE PATTERNS? The Giga Wing games which ironically Takumi also made have the same problem. I can't make it past Stage 4. >_>
I'm naming my new drink Pink Hurricane, Mark will be the first to get it!

WTF??? This narrator doesn't know shnit about this game!!! I know I'm going to sound like a completely F*ckin Greektard but I spent hundreds of dollars in the arcade playing this game for hours before I ever knew it exsisted on dreamcast. Mars did not have aliens it was colonized by earth and the people of mars wanted to be separate. So the war for control of mars began. Two ships: BLUE, lasers. RED a spread shot. both came equipped with a blaster cannon, shields and particle bomb.

I played so much of M.M. that my friends and parents tried to buy the arcade game so I could spend so time at home... Damn I was a dork, nerd, loser whatever you want to call it. (Might still be) Yeah I said it before any of y'all could. And Pink Hurrican??? WTF???

Mars Matrix is a very difficult game. I own this game on three different occasions when I had my Dreamcast and could never finish it.

As a shmup fan, I wanted to like Mars Matrix but I found this game annoying. The shield sucks because it takes too damn long to recharge as you avoid near impossible to dodge bullet patterns, the experience system is dumb because you have grab those cubes quicky to chain up your exp and you'd mostly likely die trying that, and did I mention IMPOSSIBLE BULLET TO DODGE PATTERNS? The Giga Wing games which ironically Takumi also made have the same problem. I can't make it past Stage 4. >_>
