Summary: 5 Stars

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
