Product Description

From the Manufacturer

An interstellar crime syndicate is financing their nefarious schemes by smuggling space fruits throughout the galaxy. You take the role of Riki and Mami, two members of an elite force sent to stop the illegal activities. Your task is to get into the powerful Bangai-O suit, infiltrate the syndicate's bases, and confiscate the fruit. Naturally, the gangsters will not sit by and let you do this; you will have to take out swarms of enemies along the way. Luckily, the suit has two different firing modes that you can choose from: homing missiles and reflecting laser shots. When the going gets tough, you can also use the super bomb, which destroys every foe on the screen. You are also free to move around the environment, and you can fire in any direction. All of the action takes place in more than 40 levels that will put your fruit-busting skills to the test. Only you can protect the galaxy from the perils of bad fruit in Bangai-O.

This game is fun and addictive. Simple arcade style, 99 levels of boombastic game play. Since this game was subbed before anime was taken seriously in the states it has the traits of any badly subbed title. How ever for an old school anime fan like me this just adds to the humor. Subbed well enough to understand whats going on, yet bad enough to get a laugh at the games expense.

Old school gamers remember 2D side scrolling shooters such as Contra or Radient Silvergun and those of you who have a Dreamcast know that it is getting loaded down with 2D shooters like Mars Matrix well old Schoolers prepare for the most fun playing Bangai-O
Gameplay 10/10
This game is the best 2D shooter I have ever played and I've played a lot of 2D shooters you fly through the levels in the side scrolling format the first few levels will make experinced shooter fans yawn but the humorous talk with the bosses and allies will get you through however you be fighting for your life. You have 2 characters to choose from Riki and Mami Riki uses homing missile ammo to destroy his foes this can be great in a wide open area and Mami uses laser shots that ricochet of of everything and are quite deadly in inclosed spaces but fear not you don't have to choose which one you wanna be you can switch on the fly this helps make the combat more insane and the game better speaking of the insane gameplay you will fight hundreds of enemies all at once and only a good trigger finger and knowing how to use your firepower will get you through the harder levels in the game if your not careful within seconds you can get blasted also the later bosses are challenging very much so but it is so much fun dodging there onslaught of firepower all the while blasting them then moving in to fire about 400 missles at once to finish them. 400 missiles!!! you say?how is that possiable???? you say? well one great thing about Bangai-O is that the more foes you are blasting at one time or destroying enemy fire or if there is tons of enemy fire heading your way the higher the explosion meter goes once it gets to three hundread something you can unleash a huge attack to destroy your enemies thus proving yourself worthy of the robots full name Invincable Explosion Bangai-O of course you can do this attack without having to have a huge explosion meter but it is more effective when the meter is way up there but be careful you have a limited amount of times you can use that huge attack but you can earn more ammo for it by destroying things however some bosses also can do this some watch out don't be too cautious
Graphics 5/10
Ok this is the games only flaw but it doesn't hold it back however if you crave good graphics look elsewhere these aren't that great to be honest because of the graphics I almost returned my copy of this game but by the time i got to the 3rd level i was having the time of my life this taught me graphics don't matter which is a lesson well learned for anyone
Story 10/10
Ok those of you who have played this game must be saying wtf?? but while the story is impossable to figure out besides deafeating the SF Cosmo gang it is filled with tons of humor the only bad thing is that this makes things very confusing but you don't play a shooter game for its story do you but what i can tell you about the story is that Riki is a member of the peoples police on a planet called Dan Star one day he runs into a member of the SF Cosmo Gang who then proceeds to beat him up and tells him the SF Cosmo Gang is gonna take over Dan Star and there is nothing he can do about it Riki then returns home battered and brused and sees his house smashed up and his dad beat up and his sister emerges from hiding to tell him what happened then their father tells them of a robot he was developing Bangai-O so they take the robot and head out to defeat the SF Cosmo Gang it's a very complex story lol
Length 10/10
This game has short but sometimes difficult stages and 44 stages in all however short they may seem it isn't everyone will find this game gets very difficult later on
Bottom Line 10/10
This is a truly great game which you entertain quite awhile

4.0 out of 5 stars So simple, it's brilliant.
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2001
At times, this glorious 2-D explosion-fest can be more addictive than any drug. It'll have you saying "Just one more level and then I'll stop" and "I'll try it just once more, well maybe twice" with alarming frequency.
Unlike traditional shooters, Bangai-O lets you roam around freely without a self-scrolling screen to push you along. You can move in any direction and shoot in any direction simultaneously (the control scheme is just like that of Smash TV, Midway's brilliant arcade game from 1990 or so). The flying mech you pilot, as well as the majority of your targets, are understandably small; the screen sometimes has to accomodate much more chaos and firepower than you'd think could be produced by such tiny combatants. You've got two standard weapons to choose from...homing missiles and ricocheting lasers...and each of them can be launched in a screen-clearing orgy of mass destruction which increases in size and proportion to the number of enemies and amount of gunfire already on-screen. The tiny bit of slowdown that sometimes occurs when you use your special attacks just makes it more dramatic. Watch your score rise faster than gasoline prices as literally dozens upon dozens (sometimes even hundreds!) of projectiles wipe out everything in sight, then grab the space fruit like a malnourished Pac-Man for still more points.
Some of the game's 44 levels have puzzles involving bombs, falling blocks, and one-way doors. Others are just all-out carnage. The balance between the two is struck admirably. In each level you'll face a boss after a brief conversation with him/her/it. This is where the game's oddball sense of humor really shines. My favorite is the boss whose "dialogue" consists of childish drawings instead of words. The Japanese to English translation is pretty weak, but that just adds to the quirkiness of the experience.
Flaws? There are a few, but nothing major. The biggest one is the fact that some bosses simply don't fight; they remain motionless and make no attempt to stop you from perforating them. You might have some remaining normal enemies to contend with, but still, that kinda kills the fun. Also, the health boosters don't exactly grow on trees, and there aren't any extra modes or features...but are they really necessary? Not in this game they aren't. Bangai-O is still very satisfactory, and who knows how many more games of its type we'll see once the PlayStation 2, X-Box, and GameCube are dominating the marketplace with 3-D games that bore everyone half to death?
Bangai-O is a great reason to own a Dreamcast. Shooter fans in particular are well-advised to pick it up.
