I was pretty inconsistent with this ship at first, but this ended up being a solid run up until the second half of Stage 4. There were a couple deaths in early Stage 5 that were really unexpected and kinda shook me, but I kept playing the credit - and I'm glad I did. The death right at the start of the Stage 5 Boss was really scary; but I was able to make it through with no remaining resources.
This ship struggles a bit with cutbacks in some areas, in my opinion. But otherwise I found it surprisingly easy to pick up, especially compared to B-S.
This was played on a recently acquired Xbox 360, so there are no longer any concerns with Xenia emulation accuracy or audio looping.
