It's.. ehh.... not that great.

So, just like every other non-arcade port on the Saturn? :lol

I think it's a game very much of it's time. I loved it back in the day on the Saturn, but I probably wouldn't have much time for it now (as evidenced by the fact I've also got it on 360 too and have barely touched it). The big appeal for me back then was the fact it was a 2D beat-em-up that made good use of all the Saturn's 2D abilities and sprite scaling power at a time when more-or-less everything else was polygonal and beat-em-ups weren't really a thing anymore. It also had a rockin' soundtrack and the anime style FMV intro was way above average compared to yer average Saturn game. I bought it when I was at university and living in a shared student house, so I always had a buddy on hand to play the story mode in 2 Player mode (definitely more appealing than single player) and the branching storyline added to the re-play value. Plus the fact you could unlock EVERY single character to play as in the battle mode, from the biggest most screen filling boss to the lowliest NPC was pretty cool. I always thought the way you had the three horizontal planes on the screen to jump back and forth between was a bit weird though.

I do love when people clown a system by disqualifying its strongest asset.
Fighters Megamix, Astal, Dragon Force, Fire Pro 6Men Scramble, Clockwork Knight, Shining Force 3, Policenaughts, Shining the Holy Ark, Assault Suit Leynos, Albery Odyssey , Grandia, Legend of Oasis, Magic Knight Ray Earth, Iron Storm, Bulk Slash and tons more. Near perfect arcade ports are just a bonus. Saturn probably has the best console port of Theme Park too (and Sega CD has the worst)
I translated Fire Pro (both of them, but one is an arcade port so I cant add it to the list) and a group of people localized Bulk Slash, and the 2nd and 3rd scenarios of Shining Force have been translated too. Lots of games to enjoy.

I'll admit I don't remember the games in the kind of detail you guys post...still think you're cheating and looking it up. I had a Saturn and don't remember any of those games just listed but I remember Panzer Dragoon Saga. I believe it was the highest rated game on Saturn.

Bulk Slash is translated? Man, that is an unobtainable blast from the past I forgot about 25 years ago. Very interesting thread on SEGA Xtreme, too. It is crazy how much the Saturn scene has heated up in the last two years. I felt like a leper in the 90s when I kept insisting to everyone they were missing out.
