I didn't know you could toggle the Japanese voices, although they sound so wooden that I actually consider them worse.  Somehow.

I'll confess to being confused; the review sounds mostly positive, but the score is pretty low for the standard modern review scale.  Is the only problem that you're not into score-attack titles?

The original game was originally in English voices, wasn't it? That's why the VC version is English voiced but with Japanese subtitles. It would make sense to prefer the English voices here, since they were the original franchise voices.

 

There were elements of this game that i loved and loathed. Some moments shined, and others made me smash my desk in frustration, and sometimes those moments were back to back. Like in the first fight with Commander Deko. The first stage of that fight i hated, that was beyond bullet hell and a level of madness nobody should be expected to tolerate, but it was sheer brilliance after that when it devolved into that impromptu chain fight, and then where you had to pitch the mines at him.

The back to back fights against the keepers preceding that where the game didn't tell you what to do at all didn't help either. I enjoyed the main boss of water world, i loathed Hibaru, i loved the entire run in the desert, and hated most of Mt. Fuji.

All in all i enjoy the game, but it's a matter of hit-and-miss design elements, between the clever and the impossible.
