Never before, not even once in my life, did I have to mute a game because of the absolute stress and anger its audio caused me. Rocky and Bullwinkle has ear-piercing music, and Crazy Bus sounds like someone was fucking a Casio, but the dialogue in this game is just as bad if not worse. I'd love to tell you that the music at least makes up for it, but the thing is that the voices of your companions blend with it, making it almost impossible to hear it. They just never shut the fuck up and do nothing but crack up lame jokes and do stupidly redundant comments, all of that topped with some of the worst voice acting I've heard in my entire existence. It's not even ridiculously funny, like in the original Resident Evil or in Chaos Wars where it's so bad, it becomes great; this on the other hand it's just plain annoying.

Gameplay-wise, Silpheed: The Lost Planet is just a middle-of-the-road shoot 'em up with poor man's renditions of Radiant Silvergun bosses. Enemy coreography and bullet patterns are very mediocre and repeat several times throughout the game. Your attacks suck too, you have like a bazillion shooting types, each more useless than the last, to the point where the regular one is by far the best one. 

I dunno man, this game just makes me feel miserable. This is the worst Treasure game I've played by far.

I usually don't tell people what to do, as I think everyone is entitled to form their own opinion, but please, just don't play this game; it's garbage.
