Speaks for itself
other than being fairly rare due to it being a posthumous release, the game itself is quite good.

I like the fact that it lets you choose the button configuration because the "swipe" really isn't comfortable using the default settings (i like having it on the x button).

music is another plus.

a good release from Milestone.

get it when you can.

play it more smoothly.
In ps2 version ,It normally lack when the large number of aircraft appear in the screen simutulnously.

Meanwhile,you would'nt notice that such annoying things in dreamcast version , being better on demonstate many feather at the same time due to more ram fixed in the hardware.

Decidely Average...
I take pride in playing all of my DC shooters in their full 32" TATE glory and was overjoyed when another was announced to be released for the ill fated noisy white box.

Radilgy looks ok, plays ok and is basically just an ok shooter, The novelty graphics soon wear off and the levels are all very similar to each other. The ship handles responsively enough but it just doesn't get the heart racing. I'll crack this out every now and then but will stick to psyvariar and underdefeat.

NOT the shining jem that everyone seems to claim it is... :-(
First off I would like to say that I expected quite a bit out of this game, given the reviews and comments that I have seen over the last couple of months, not to mention the long run of great Dreamcast shooters that I have greatly enjoyed, which in my opinion, sit as the highlights of this system that had it's lifespan cut far too quickly.

Given all of this, I would have thought Radilgy/Radirgy (whatever you care to call it) would have at least followed closeby, in the footsteps of Rez, Zero Gunner 2, Psyvariar 1+2, Shikigami no Shiro 2, Border Down, Chaos Field, Trizeal, Ikaruga, Gigawing 1+2...(shall I bother listing the rest of the great shooters?) Especially Chaos Field from the same company, which despite what I have heard from the majority of shoot 'em up fans, I really enjoyed, not to mention had great music; sadly it does not hold a candle to any of these.

When I first saw the screenshots for this game several months back, I was more excited in the fact that 2 new shooters were coming out (this and Under Defeat), and I took the screenshots as nothing more but bad shots. I understood it was going to be cel shaded, which given previous experiences with this artform, I have seen bad cel shading, and I have seen great cel shading. Rez was a shining example of this, and even if I didn't really like Jet Set Radio's gameplay, it was still interesting to watch.

Taking all of this into account, I finally got a chance to sit down and play this game that I expected to be added to the top of my favorites list on the Dreamcast.

I was sadly disappointed, and Radilgy is a medicore shooter at best.

The music is extremely lacking, which is one of the elements that can really get you into a shooter, even if other aspects are not top about it. Sadly, nothing caught my ear.

Graphics: cel shading at it's worst on any shooter I have seen. Jet Set Radio's cel shading stomps all over this...not sure what the deal is, but there is barely any detail, I don't blame this one on the Dreamcast at all. The explosions in the game are not even anything to be impressed by. Hopefully when the Gamecube and PS2 versions of this are released, it won't look so washed out, even though I hated Chaos Field on PS2, as it made it look way too smoothed out.

Gameplay: 3 different ships (different speeds), and 3 different choices of firing (normal, laser, and some bubble thing), which I have seen much worse options on greater games, but that does not help much here. You have a sword, which made me think of a couple of other games, but it is almost worthless, other than doing a bit of heavy damage. You have your run of the mill powerups, which enhance your weapon to full power, and there is not much going on otherwise. No bombs, but there is this gauge that fills up when you destroy enemies that kind of works like a vacuum sucking in all the shots around you, as well as all the powerups and other things strung around the screen for point pickups, and there is a shield powerup too. Oh and there is this annoying e-mail thing, which you will see what I am talking about when you are playing, which sometimes will pop up while in the middle of play. The difficulty was about par for a shooter, I didn't find it too hard or too easy.


Overall, I expected way more, especially considering Chaos Field coming from the same company, and with this being the next to last game on the system (so far anyway). Definitely a poor excuse to re-issue the Dreamcast, and it makes me honestly wonder what Sega was thinking packaging in this game with their system.

I would almost dare say that this is as bad as Giga Wing Generations on PS2, but I don't think it in the same calibur. I gave this 3 stars, because like I said, it is medicore. While not horrible, it is not a Gigawing 2 by any means...or any of the other great shooters on the system.

Final comment: save your money and get ANY of the other good shooters on Dreamcast, as this definitely is not worth it.

Quirky and fun..........
This a great game the cel shading might put some off but this is tough, theres no easy ride here. A great shoot em up, I just wish the music was a bit more catchy (7/10).

Don't blink......
Hands up who thought that Chaos Field was a bit of a let down. Hmm, quite a few of you.

Well the latest Milestone Dreamcast offering blows that out of the water. You can put your hands down now.

Obviously the first thing you notice about this game are the visuals. Yes it is cel-shaded with each and every enemy, explosion etc crafted in a 'toon' style but don't let that fool you, Radirgy's closest comparison would be Mars Matrix.

Your ships 'hit' box is very small which makes for some insane bullet dodging plus a chargeable shield to get you out of the tightest of tight spots.

Nice soundtrack that compliments the action and playability through the roof. The only thing I would level at this is the lack of a 2 player mode.

So basically if you like to play shooters where blinking = death. This is for you.

A truly unique and excellent shooter
Another great effort from Milestone, much improved over Chaos Field. Feels kinda like a cel-shaded version of Gigawing or Mars Matrix, and that's certainly a good thing! Dreamcast lives on!!!

Not perfect but a great addition for the shmup fan
It's certainly not the best shmup around,so don't expect that when buying this ,but if you love shmups you'll enjoy this one for sure.
It's something different,frantic and difficult action but not really a fast paced shooter.Some well-thought ideas from different shmups put together is the best way to describe this one.
It's nice to see a release after all this years for the dreamcast,i hope there will be more soon.

great adition to your shmup collection
This game is great to play with a controller or arcade stick,it's pretty difficult too(like most shmups anyway) so don't give up if you're having a hard time because you will! :D
The only thing that i didn't like is that the shooting itself is a little bit slow,i prefer it when your ship shoots thousands of bullets at lightning speed,other than that nothing bad to say about this, i really like this game.
4.5 stars from me.

thumb-wrecking action at it's best
this is one of the most intense shooters i have played, and the amount of variety involved (regular shot, sword attack, hunting laser attack, and wing layer, not to mention the field changes themselves) keeps the action fresh and challenges you to find new ways inflate your score. bullets come fast and furious, oftentimes in patterns that seem impossible to get out of. combined with a thumping soundtrack and lower price point, you can't go wrong picking this up !

Review!
After a hefty 2 hour session of Chaos Field, I can honestly say that I'm impressed. Recent shooters, although, good, have been personally dissapointing. I gain little pleasure out of these modern vertical shooters where there's loads of fancy neon shot everywhere and the only way to navigate through it is to be one of the Japanese fellows who programmed the game in the first place. However, Chaos Field's extremely ingenuitive system makes this usually frustrating aspect an absolute pleasure. The sword and lock on attacks are absolutely great, and rest assured, they do not take away from the challenge, but they add a whole new level of play. Difficulty level is rough . . . exactly what you'd expect from a shooter. I had to bump my hits up to 5 (from the default 3) just to beat the first miniboss of level 2. Do not fear, extra credits are unlockable. I had increased my stock to 9 after 2 hours. Chaos Field definitely draws heavily from other shooters. Graphically and stylistically it reminds me of Capcom's Mars Matrix, and the lock on attack harkens way back the the Racrisis series on the PS1. However, the most important thing is that the shot absorbing sword tastes exactly like the sweet sweet nectar that is Treasure's definitive magnum-opus, Radiant Silvergun. The structure of the game is also very close to that of Silvergun. Levels are simply a series of 2 minibosses and 1 normal boss (whos comming is fortold by the would "Cautions" emblazoned across the screen . . . you gotta love that 's'). If you've played Treasure's shooter, you'll recall that it's built in a similar way, transfering from miniboss to miniboss as difficulty increases. However, the key difference between Field and Silvergun is that Chaos Field only cost me $49 shrink wrapped, not over $150 used. It's fair to say that Field can really be summarized as a poor man's Radiant Silvergun. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with Chaos Field. Three different ships, all with different shot patterns, bombs, and lock on techniques should keep us shooter geeks busy for quite awhile. The Dreamcast is alive and kicking . . . and we owe that once again to the shooter genre.

Just WOW!
This is what you can have after Ikaruga and Border Down. So, go ahead and buy as many copies as you can just to keep the Dreamcast alive.
