Space Channel 5 is one of the first games I remember playing in my childhood and is the main reason for my love of rhythm games. It's a very short mission story lasting no longer than half an hour when played well, yet it offers so much replay value with Extra Mission and unique characters that need rescuing. However, I can understand why many prefer playing Part 2 than the original. This game suffers for being very strict with its Simon-says button inputs, and even someone like me who can naturally feel out this game's timing can get tripped up when caught off-guard. It makes the more difficult sections of the game a real workout to perfect for sure. Otherwise, you're looking at a game full of passion for its ridiculous space funk odyssey with incredibly iconic music and characters that undoubtedly cemented its legacy in gaming. It's part of what makes the Dreamcast an amazing console and is part of what makes the rhythm game genre so important.
