Type - 2D Shooting Action

The Saturn has more shooters for it than any other console as far as I know so any shooter on the Saturn has a lot to live up to if it wants to stand out in the crowd. Cave’s DoDonpachi does just that. It’s what shooters are all about. Action packed, massive explosions, tones of items to pick up and a great challenge. Add the great sound track and Cave’s wonderful enemy patterns and you have yourself one hell of a great shooter. It doesn’t try to be fancy like Treasures Radiant Silvergun. It’s a shooter and that’s what it does. I must point out that if you play DoDonpachi in the normal TV mode/Yoko mode (horizontal) then the image does have quite a lot of ripple lines running across it due to the image being squashed down to fit on to a normal TV screen. Play it in arcade mode/Tate mode (vertical) and that ripple problem will be gone.

Simply put, it you want a great shooter for your Saturn then get Dodonpachi.
