*insert millions of people complaining about my next line*

I prefer depth scrolling shooters; IE ones that scroll along the Z axis like Star Fox and Panzer Dragoon

(Sorry, but I do not consider those rail shooters <_< that's a dumb thing to call them. They're the same as scrolling shooters, they just move along the Z axis instead of the X or Y)

Out of Horizontal/Vertical... I prefer Horizontal, like Scrambled Valkyrie, and RType

That's vertical and horizontal movement around a spherical planet. Super Stardust is a !@#$% amazing game-- but it isn't considered a scrolling shooter. That's more of a geometry-wars style shooter. Seriously though SSHD is one of the best downloadable games ever. I highly recommend it. Logged

CRUNCH! I'll add it to the heap! Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1314	Vertical is annoying. They allow for more freedom of movement, but they usually aren't that good for controlling and fighting and whatnot. Logged
