This was a great review that did its job and nicely walked me through the range of emotions that a fan is likely to have when playing this game. I can't say that I'm a fan, having only played a few hours of Thunder Force V, but I was also interested in how this latest edition played and now I'd like to experience it for myself. I doubt that I will, though; my modded PS2 busted and I simply can't justify buying another one to play a few imports. Not when the PS2 is on its last leg. Maybe someone will localize this and save me some grief. Are you listening, Atlus?

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
