Saturn shooter review: In the Hunt / Kaitei Daisensou

LOVELY submarine blaster from Irem. One of the best value shooters for the Saturn, you can get this for well under $30. I really rate this game, it's different. It's got awesome hand drawn graphics and animation. It feels smooth, is tough but not punishingly difficult and it's smart. If you like Metal Slug you will love this. My advice: buy it!!!

How bad is the slowdown in this port? Would like an honest answer, is it playable?

[futurematt5]

@aliwel There is a lot of slowdown, yes. I think the video captures it better than I can try to explain in words though. It doesn't bother me that much.

I died and got Game Over where you were at 8:15 . Granted, It was on 5 credits... how did you unlock free play? Or is that just not in the NTSC version?

[futurematt5]

@Serraxor well I do have the NTSC version and it seems to allow free play I recall. Or did I just play extremely well? I don't think so!

This is a fun game. I think most of the team went on to make Metal Slug. I've heard the Playstation version plays a little smoother.  Another great review, sir!

A sub shooter? Interesting.

Class game this, the slowdown gets on my tits a bit sometimes but you gotta love the attention to detail.
