Classic Game Room reviews GIGA WING 2 for Sega Dreamcast from Takumi and Capcom! The sequel to Giga Wing brings more absurdly high scores, explosions and bullet hell goodness! Play as one of five pilots and their aircraft as you crush enemies by shooting them with lasers or reflecting their shots back into their faces. Pick "refleco-force" or "reflecto-laser" and annihilate thousands of foes in this amazing arcade-style shooter from Capcom.

Man, I tell you, when the Dreamcast faded from shelves that was the time to pick everything up for a song. I remember my local Electronics Boutique having a 10ft section of wall just for Dreamcast clearance. I remember walking out with this game, several others, two light guns and 5 VMUs all for under 100 bucks. They just wanted the stuff gone to make room for the new PS2 stuff.

[@DreamcastGuy]

This will always be one of my favorite shoot em ups ever! Keep up the amazing Dreamcast reviews! :D

[@andrependleton7242]

Another great video game review!

[@sketchtriggerschannel6360]

RIFURETO LEISAH!

[@DrKrFfXx000000000000]

Jack Frost reisah* XD

[@LaVeyCharkusVeros]

1:10 *_"Reflecto FOOOOOOOOOOOOOORCE!!!!!!"_* Damn those Japanese, they're crazy as shit! XD

[@cgraham6]

***** It wouldn't take more than 3 minutes of that for me to want to toss the Dreamcast out a window.

[@Dasgath]

***** Referecto REEEEEEEEEEEZAAAAAA!!!!

[@frankschneider6156]

***** Obviously not, so what ? In my book being unique and doing things differently is pretty cool. I mean, who wants to be like everybody else ? And everyone who regularly watches japanese TV ads and believes they are not totally insane must be pretty blind or japanese.

[@Dasgath]

Just don't judge other people, they could have guns. Remember: 1.Do whatever you want. 2.Be excellent to each other.

[@frankschneider6156]

***** Nope ... and you ?

[@ShogunGin0]

I fear what I'm about to say will anger many viewers here, but I'm starting to feel as if CGR has been diluting in the past few months. Mark, what I mean is that the majority of your recent reviews just seem to cover the same 4, maybe 5 gameplay types over and over again. I rarely see you trying anything out of your comfort zone anymore. I remember when I first found this channel and I spent hours looking through your backlog at all the different types of games that were covered here, and I miss that variety. I know you're just one man who can only do so much, and who only can tolerate a certain number of genres, and that's why Undertow exists, I get that. But even so, most of your videos just kind of blur together in similarity now. I get more out of your comic and manga reviews now because they feel like something different. I remember the videos that were tongue-in-cheek jokes at stupid, terrible games that everyone knows were stupid, I remember when you played more consoles than just the 16-bit ones, the 2600, and the Dreamcast, with occasional dips into the 8-bit and handheld titles. And maybe the Vectrex. If I can compare it to something, watching your current videos feels like watching current episodes of the Simpsons, and I don't mean that as an insult. I still think the Simpsons is a funny show, but I don't feel the cleverness in the execution as much as I used to. Like the Simpsons, I still watch you because I still think you're entertaining, and you still sometimes manage to make me add yet another game to my Amazon wishlist, but I don't feel as interested in your reviews anymore. Also, like the Simpsons, some of your jokes just get old after a while. Just how much longer are you going to ask if something can play Truxton, or if something has a Vectrex port? How much longer are you going to dedicate a 10th of your Star Wars game reviews to how incapable you are of getting over Jar Jar? It's been 16 years, man, let it go. To me, this video is just another "Mark reviews a space shoot em' up" episode, of which I've seen many, and have heard practically the same script for. For a show that claims to want to "review everything", I find that hard to believe now.

[@GuyShishioh]

Your room is amazing.

[@thelken]

FYI: For every bomb use, or death, your multiplier per gem is reset. Go as long as possible without using bombs or dying and each gem collected will add much more to your multiplier total.

[@kevgor138]

My favorite vertical shooter.. play it every week, I'm going to have to try it with 4 players. Now just to find 3 other retro junkies. I have been waiting for you to review this for a long time. Thanks!

[@IgnotusPerIgnotium]

Awesome game, Capcom loved the Dreamcast!

[@waynski1457]

Hey, this video isn't in the CGR DC playlist. Glad I found it, cause this game is awesome

[@bbutters2]

This game also has the original fighter planes to unlock as well as the boss plane from the first game.

[@bastardrian]

i cant decide whats more annoying: Reflecto Laser or Reflecto Force.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

+bastardrian Reflecto Laser from the first girl...its annoying in my opinion, make the game frustating, hopefully includes somenthing to reduce the volume of the voices

[@teknifix]

Only 206.28 trillion, Mark? You're slipping! :)

[@GigawingsVideo]

I can proudly say that I completed this game 100%, including all the endings, unlocking all the secret planes and learning every patterns of the bosses. The characters are forgettable though.

[@TotallyRandomVideoGameChannel]

The western release of this game is closer to $100.

[@andy7666]

Joey Ford I take it you had a good sniff of the manual? We all do it..

[@gluserty]

+lightsouthaha Hey, I'm thinking of purchasing "Shenmue". I wasn't into open world games yet (more into sports or classic arcade), but I think I could love this game and its story.

[@stc1124]

Just picked up a complete used but in very good condition copy of this game for $100 this weekend at a retro shop. I have a hard time justifying that kind of price for any game but I love collecting for the dreamcast and i saw its currently going on ebay for more like 200+. So if it comes down to it, it should be easy to get the money back out of it.

[@NodakSavage]

just look at it this way, you paid half of retail. I'd say that's a score. I'm going to just import the JPN version as it's the same game for half the price. I'm blown away by how much Gigawing 1 goes for now days. I got it about 18 months ago for $50. Glad I grabbed it when I did

[@Ioshyriku903]

I remember playing it a few years ago, it sure was fun, although I couldn't see anything on the screen due to the bullets and medals.

[@mikemac2188]

you are absolutely right i am on ebay right now this is exacily the reason why i love this show in love you guys LOL LOL ....LOL ....THANK YOU

[@electricadventures]

Awesome - I can foretell myself being poorer sometime in the future.

[@iPlaySEGA]

If i remember right, there are several unlockable options like: voice off, event mode off and some other things. Maybe someone here remembers...

[@Asianman8307]

The nostalgia!

[@skabcat242]

I am not even into space shooters but this looks awesome.

[@Utubesuxmycock]

had this game when it came out only thing i remember about it was the odd organ game over music

[@GRUSSNewton]

***** it's that good I bought it 2 days ago... It's like I already knew!!!

[@adamd3441]

Review Pac Man World Rally for the GameCube!

[@blinkshadown]

i think i played gigawing it was awesome, i dont recall finishing it it was on arcades really shinny, bright, loud, hard, entertaining, fun to play and trust me theres few games that can have high difficulty and be fun

[@timewave02012]

The Best of Classic Game Room is now on DVD, BluRay, and HyperReflectoLaserVision Album Set.

[@KingGameReview]

I got this game for a couple bucks when gamestop was stopping selling dreamcast games.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Still own the original. Had no idea there was a sequel!

[@BombTanq]

My first videogame

[@jesterface0521]

Refrecta Laza!!! Refrecta force!!!! Played the original alm the way through on Mame and I gotta say this game looks badazz.

[@Mystere1985]

Nice

[@mickmanga3541]

There is something memorizeing about bullethell games.

[@only257]

Awesome 😈

[@kakkarotdb]

have you played Mars Matrix on the Dreamcast?

[@PrinceAkaiVtuber]

Damn this is good.

[@dillioncole6109]

Can u make a review on sonic gems collection for game cube

[@juanalvarado1736]

Thought I found this game at a flea market, in the dollar rack. When I opened the case, it had some MLB game haha. Got the case and everything, minus the game, for $1.

[@Stere0cast]

Awww yesss, GIGA WING 2! Sooo goooooddd.

[@TheAtariSan]

You don't need to buy this danmaku, it's on Dreamcast, so download dat .cdi file, pop your cd-r in your pc cd burner drive and open discjuggler to burn dat .cdi, pop it in your compatible dreamcast made before the new gd-rom drive firmware and have fun.

[@Spacecab]

I love this game! Nabbed it off a guy who had no idea what game it was... for 2 bucks!

[@Retrocidal]

I made a video about this game also I hope some day to do more retro stuff I have a hard time doing retro games for some reason

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

I can see why Mark loves this game, its like a crazy fusion of Street Fighter and Truxton!!!!!! A combination that will destroy many universes!!!!

[@Bigbacon]

never understood the love of games like this where there is a million bullets all over the place..

[@Azfargh]

There is an option to mute the voice, right?

[@niceguy60]

Still have my naomi cart and dreamcast gd of the game luckily.

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Still waiting for Dreamcast 360.

[@LordDragon47]

How long since your last Dreamcast game review?

[@badbirdkc]

I thought I was the only one who liked these games back when they came out. Now that they are all getting valuable and going for crazy money online, I feel oddly vindicated. I have Giga Wing 2, Gunbird 2, and Mars Matrix, and I know I didn't pay more than $20 for any of them.

[@voutespancar]

Reflector Force

[@ShiftyMoses]

Love Giga Wing, not played 2 though, can you turn off the REFRETCO FAAAAARCE noise though haha?

[@getdrinking]

reflecto LAAAASSSEEEEEERRRRRRRR

[@Doughty321]

Probably a stupid question but is there anyway to play jp Dreamcast games on a PAL Dreamcast?

[@entertainmentwizard2703]

Doughty321 Get the cheats and codes boot disc that should let you play Japanese games on a pal dreamcast

[@Doughty321]

Ah ok, thank you =)

[@TheKillaComa]

Pika pikaaaaaa! I can't be the only one that noticed.

[@serialkiller88]

my dreamcast came with this game (disc only) it cost me $8.50 on a flea market

[@andy7666]

Tavo Smith That's a bit of a bargain.. (!)

[@junglenerd2291]

So is this pretty much Exceed on Dreamcast?

[@DecayingReverie]

While these games interest me, my brain has never been good enough to even process what is happening on screen. There are so many shots.

[@WHATISUTUBE]

Decaying Reverie You're not supposed to shoot things. It's all about keeping your finger on the shoot button and dodging everything. You're supposed to be dodging things, not shooting. It's like speeding through traffic on the highway, look for openings.

[@PrinceAkaiVtuber]

Decaying Reverie Never play Touhou

[@andy7666]

Decaying Reverie You should see Gigawing Generations - even more bullets.. Bullet Hell games look overwhelming but I bet you would do better than you imagine. The more you practise the more you progress (as with anything) and its pretty surprising how good you can get. I've not 1 c/c'd many games to be honest but there is something satisfying in gradually beating your own highscores.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

+Decaying Reverie Its funny anyways but if you never want to get brain explode...never play any black Laber games from Cave, Touhou, Gradius games on High Loops, or...in any fucking moment, never in yo life, get back...stay really away...Ikaruga or Radiant Silvergun on Hardest levels and loops...they are beatiful but imposible (Still I love them))

[@andy7666]

MetalSonicodraco7342 Ha ha, thats why I play them - your brain melting..And playing on a quality arcade stick in TATE mode - beautiful. I just love beating that high score, getting a little further every time.. It's very satisfying. This said I'm yet to 1 c/c any CAVE game (save for Donpachi but that kind of isn't a bullet hell).

[@Arz2003]

NA why did you remove the voices?

[@DonCooks1]

For once Mark you're wrong! My wallet isn't screwed because I burnt the game for FREEEEEE I played through this a few days ago and i LOVED it. DISCJUGGLER FTW

[@MrERLoner]

Prominence Bomber

[@shotokanclau]

Where's my Guravity BOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

[@SpagghetiPizza]

Erecto Razor

[@Oddlyoko2K]

REFLECTO FORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WHATISUTUBE]

REEFLEKTO LAAAYZAAAAH

[@DonCooks1]

Refelecto Raaaaaaaser

[@dumbass3000]

Riflecto Laaaazaaaaaaa! I imagined i'm the pilot and I have a very annoying small child as a co-pilot......

[@beefcurtainz69]

So if I can only buy one for dreamcast what should I get or what's the best? Giga wing, giga wing 2, or gunbirds 2???

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

Go for the original Giga Wing. It's the only one I played, because I've owned it since launch.

[@Corad4]

beefcurtainz69 Giga Wing, personally Giga Wing 2 is nowhere near as good and I never played Gunbird 2.

[@wrena79]

Neo XYX or Fast Striker

[@Corad4]

+beefcurtainz69 +GFRomaji Mars Matrix is definitely great too!

[@wrena79]

Yeah Mars Matrix it's pretty damn good too

[@rayforceaddict]

The western edition is more because it yells at you less :P

[@VideoGamesAnthology]

Two people doesn't have blast processing.

[@Momo4060i]

awesome game.japanese just know how to make great shootemups

[@zydian_]

'pika? PIIIKAAAA'

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

another game i just burned, i am all about collecting retro games especially the dreamcast (favorite system of all time most likely) and anything sega related. I just refuse to pay these crazy prices for a game i know i won't play that much.

[@MCHellshit]

BillyTheBigDeal Yea ditto. Only problem is the Dreamcast laser is weak and it will burn out quick. I've gone through two Dreamcasts from playing only burned games on it

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

I've heard this but i still have my original Dreamcast from 1999 and played tons of burned games on it over the years. Still no issues (I have 2 other Dreamcasts just in case). Most of the games i play are the real thing but for a small handful of Dreamcast games i just play on burned discs.

[@BlownMacTruck]

BillyTheBigDeal Ugh, I hate logic like this. You don't want to pay the price for the game? Then don't buy it. That doesn't suddenly entitle you to burn it for free.

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

BlownMacTruck lol, yeah since re-sellers on ebay, ebay fees, and flea marketers deserve my money. If i see this game being sold by a retro shop in town maybe i'll buy it because i want those stores to succeed. But excuse me for not having remorse for people trying to make a quick buck online. If the game was still being sold straight from Sega I'd buy it (not a digital download only version).

[@BlownMacTruck]

BillyTheBigDeal *shrug* It's called supply and demand. You may think they don't deserve your money, but they'll find pretty much someone who does. So why they should they sell it lower? To put it another way: if you wanted to sell one of your rarer games, would you be ok selling something typically priced at $70 for $10 just because someone said "Yeah, no, I can burn that," ?

[@CarozQH]

Is this considered a bullet hell shooter?

[@MadButcherBlade]

CarozQH Half the time, the screen is covered with bombs, shots and lasers, so the answer is: yes.

[@Retrocidal]

Any Gane on dream cast can be burned I have all of them including all Namco games and more cool thing about the dream cast you can play arcade games loke ninja commando another fun game you made a video about and so did it lol

[@DreamGTS]

.....expensive????? I purchased Giga Wing 2 along with Mars Matrix for about $30 each when they first came out in the US at an EBX. Keep hearing VO:OT is pricey too but I don't recall paying anymore than 40 something buckaroos for it nuevo. Shrugs*

[@TheDabeavis]

+DreamGTS That's because you bought it roughly 15 years ago, nowadays the US version's rather expensive.

[@DreamGTS]

Understood. I read that comment as if they have "always" been pricey. Sorry 'bout that.

[@YouMadNow]

I was sad when my char died in the path i took :( the cyborg girl

[@TalkernateHistory]

That pink haired girl looks like Haman Khan.

[@SlobbyHill]

Before you buy it, you could just burn it to a disk to try it out. You know, just test it. Forever.

[@Yared-ou7wy]

goddamn the Reflect force and Reflect lazier is so annoying when repeated again and again

[@gluserty]

Pretty fun-looking game, but too rich for my blood (anyway, my Dreamcast's open/close button doesn't work properly anymore, so it's a moot point).

[@gluserty]

+lightsouthaha I need a new Dreamcast; my button is stuck, and not big in Japan!

[@gluserty]

lightsouthaha Seriously though, I'd like to play it free (man, Dreamcast brought me back to gaming), no top and everything. Can that be done?

[@gluserty]

lightsouthaha Okay, I'll try that; the thing was that the open/close button got stuck, so what I should do is physically raise that button, then go from there. Thanks for the help!

[@gluserty]

lightsouthaha Sticky as in you have to raise it with a screwdriver:-)

[@Riz2336]

I'd have to disagree with you on your statement that this game isn't a cheap one seeing as if you have internet, a computer, a proper burning program, and a blank cd this game can become yours to play on your Sega Dreamcast for free.

[@TheDabeavis]

+Riz2336 Expensive to buy a real copy like true collectors would.

[@spiderjerusalem100]

More games need shouty Japanese voiceovers.

[@kacoo02]

Thanks Lord Karnage, my wallet now has money missing from it.

[@ganjam0n]

cdi

[@Mr4real0316]

the American version has all the wonderful music without that annoying Japanese screaming

[@mannycisneros5765]

just seen this game at a local game store for 175 dollars.. after watching this ill have to pass

[@youtubasoarus]

La...zzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

[@NodakSavage]

Japanese version is cheaper and better in my opinion. I think they deleted the Japanese voice overs in the US version, because, WHY???

[@pradachains]

I guess because hearing "difurekuto rayzaa!" over and over is pretty annoying.

[@LordHumungusFL]

Girl sounds so god damn annoying. Long live the Dreamcast.

[@mabs9503]

I am sorry to disappoint you but I just don't like bullet hell games.

[@apinheirosouza]

Do all Giga Wing games have these irritating repetitive speeches?

[@fitnesspoint2006]

That girls voice is getting annoying, and that is just from watching this review

[@NodakSavage]

well you'd prefer the US version then. for double the price you can have it with no voice overs

[@QF_Dan72]

Oh god, the voices are annoying

[@rajreddy288]

sorry mark its crap

[@JonathanHarbour]

one of the best games on the Dreamcast? you've got to be kidding this game is total garbage and most reviewers agree except for you.

[@foarfield]

oh boy, a shmup review from the year 2000, I wonder if they credit fed through the whole thing and complained that it's under an hour long. this is especially one of the best games on the dreamcast now that 2/3rds of the library has aged badly.
