I was driving and listening the radio in the same time, my memories aren't good.

Such a missed opportunity, as it is an incredible game. I made some quick feetage for you, there’s almost nothing on screen in the vid, and it can get worse if you take an option (let alone 2 ). And at times there’s 20 enemies on screen and it runs like a train…I haven’t even tried co-op yet

Whoa. That is some crazy slowdown! Yeah it just looks like a poor port job since it seems to be related to the part of the game rather than what the game has on screen and is doing. Do you think it's still worth playing? Or is this slowdown a common theme throughout play?

Depends on how bad you want to play it I guess
I have noticed that there’s less slowdown if you only use one weapon at a time during those parts that slow down (which obviously isn’t the intention & makes those parts a lot longer and harder LOL)

I’m hoping they will eventually release a fixed version, but I’m afraid that’s just idle hope

I wouldn't put it past JoshProd to be honest. But, yeah, sadly, it doesn't sound worth it to me.

This definitely makes me want to wait until reviews of 'Andro Dunos II,' especially for the 3DS, are in before buying it.

This is why I’ve waited so long to get Armed 7 and Battle Crust: needed to see a few reviews first

Well, a new game for the 3DS is different than a new game for the Dreamcast. It might not stick around as long. I don't think it's a stretch to say it's going to have a smaller print run on 3DS.

There isn’t a game in the world that doesn’t have small problems, most of the time we can all live with that…as long as those flaws aren’t game breaking that is

They need to replace the ogg music it has no use on a dreamcast it takes all cpu time to convert and %15 cpu time while playing mixing on the main cpu the version of both i tested was like running 15 to 20 fps at max and slow to crawl when it does a ogg conversion

It all could be fixed just by using ADX i updated or cdda which the game takes no space on the cdr

It would then run 15 to 20fps faster

Seem to me the dev does not know about all the api's to use OGG is no no it stalls the cpu and pipline to hell

Those are game breakers indeed…
