Sol-Deace/Sol-Feace (MD/MCD)
Graphics-7 Sound-7.5 Control-7 Challenge-8
Level Design-6.5 Frustration-9 Fun-7 Originality-4
Overall Score-6.5
+ Unlimited continues, decent intro cutscene, speed options (in options, not in-game), difficulty options, some good bosses, respawn on the spot (you're also given a weapon capsule after death)
+/- Male + female protagonists, very short invincibility time after death
- Trial & error, slowdown (the twitchy kind), basic and rigid weapon system (need to move around to change the formation of your side-turrets instead of pressing a button), uneven difficulty (third boss is very easy, hard to recover later on since you begin at your weakest after using a continue), some distracting backgrounds (makes shots hard to see),
Notes:
MCD version adds an animated intro cutscene and a CD soundtrack (remakes of the MD tracks)
