The first stage is probably the most underwhelming 1st stage in all Dariuses, Twin's blue sky feels largely more enticing than that. But of course this probably comes down to taste!<br />4 Megs, 8 Megs, 12 Megs... phew.... Though if we were to go there Gradius III is a linear game, Megs in Dariuses are for the branches and stuff...Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491361099947592597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-67034399043844278872013-11-23T13:48:59.461-02:002013-11-23T13:48:59.461-02:00I really don't get how you can sit on the fenc...I really don't get how you can sit on the fence between this game & Darius Twin. So you'll have to explain youself to me here, since you're dodging the question elsewhere. So please answer, cause this makes no sense to me. Let me explain what I see;<br /><br />So, yay; DT says it has 12 levels. FALSE. The first 3 forks have no difference between them outside of powerups and slight colour palette change in 2nd & 3rd fork in the road. The 4th fork looks identical, but one scolls down while the other up + enemy patterns & maybe enemies too seem to vary a bit? So that's 12 -3.5 = 8.5. And not 12 levels as the game so very much lies to you. Playing a second time only yields 1.5 more levels to see. "YAY!!" And for a Darius game outside of Gameboy (which is fine with it's 8 levels, I guess?) this is just nuts.<br /><br />Oh, and the backgrounds are pretty crappy too. with two of them being just one flavour wallpaper repeating throughout in open space or sky. ... Wait ain't the last level like this too (in space)? Yet more joy. So what, we're down to 5 real levels now? *Sigh*<br /><br />And Super Nova, Darius Twin, and even Genny Sagaia, are all at 8 meg cart size too. So no excuse in being smoked away in content by the other two cart based 16 Bit games. Gradius III SNES at 4 megs has more levels & content, lol. Thats just not right at all.<br /><br />And you can;t use the "because of checkpoints" excuse. Darius 1 Arcade had it + all other Darius games are pretty much "just don't die" affairs.<br /><br />In conclusion; Twin is the real basterd of the two. I figure others prefer Twin cause it's easier due varius reasons. But this shouldn't apply to you at all. More harder = more replay value. ie Playing a game you can play blindfolded over and over can't be much fun. Unless you're an extreme casual gamer. In which case, so is snifing a dogs behind. ... wait should I be finishing with that? "TOO LATE!"
