Has little to do with length imho. Nearly every cave shmup is 5 stages, adding more would not make the games any better.
Maybe not for you, but it would to me.

Anybody else have any opinions? My copy is waiting at the post office and I just remembered I don't even have a Dreamcast with a GD-ROM drive anymore, I swapped out a broken one with a GDEMU a while back, so I probably won't be playing it any time soon.

I think its a pretty fun game. It is kind of average though. Whenever there is a lot of action on screen mine seems to have like screen tearing or frame skipping or something going on. Especially whenever your collecting all the gold, its kind of annoying. Im using the Hanzo VGA box to a Atlona AT-HD500 VGA to HDMI upscaler to a plasma TV. The picture quality is excellent. Also the first few stages are extremely easy. Overall though its a fun game. It seems like a dodonpachi clone.
Yeah I have been super happy with mine. luckily I was able to find a used one on eBay for $75.00. They are pretty expensive brand new, whenever you do decide to get one, I would recommend the Atlona AT-HD500 model. It has tons of features via a menu button on the unit. it has so many different output resolutions to choose from. I have never had any problems with it and it really does look amazing!This pretty much sums it up. For a homebrew, it's a great game. As for a shooter, it's average. I got through halfway through the game on my first try. The technoraver day glow colors do get annoying at times because there is so much pink on the screen, I lose track of what's a bullet and what's not. Maybe that was intentional by the devs, who knows? They really need to go easy on the Candy Crush color palette. It was fun for a few spins, then I went right back to Zero Gunner, Ikaruga and Under Defeat.
I definitely need to look into getting one of those Atlona boxes.

Glad to hear the great review! I just scored a used HD500 on Ebay. I can't wait to hook it up with my Hanzo!
Sweet!! Let me know how you like it after you get everything hooked up and running.
That Atlona is flawless by the way. Even on default settings. Combo'ed with the Hanzo it's utterly amazing. No more color smearing and bad artifacts like I had on my previous SCART setup. Thanks for the recommendation!
