I struggle with him occasionally - especially if I get the Tera form. You could try missing a few enemies throughout the level proper to get one of the easier versions (it's a bit underhand, but should help you get past him).

Strange. I was getting overwhelmed on one of the later appearances of the yellow tipped tentacles
which shoot, even fired overdrive and that couldn't keep them at bay. Got past that bit now, at the
very end where the core drops seeking missile type things was dead easy whereas that's hardest bit of
that boss on DC.

Rest of game not too much challenge to complete the levels with final showdown seeming much
easier than DC. Definately there are sounds in the musical effects which are sharp (pitch) which
makes it less tuneful.

Still, ace game.

Rez defaulted to rumble off for me. Make sure it's switched on or playing the game doesn't count! :)

Yeah, it does default to off. Oddest design decision in there considering the value a lot of people place on the feedback.

Also, make sure you check out some of the visual themes. Glare is a good'un - tends to overload occassionally, but can be damned pretty at times. The tile-y one's a bit special too. ;)

Been a while since I last had right hand cramp (from playing Rez :P ). :lol:

Sound in Rez HD (normal) seemed a bit rough/distorted to me. :|

It's worth it for Level 5 alone! Score attack with leaderboards is also where it's at.

I did that too, something I've never managed on DC. OK, it took me down three forms and I used at least one overdrive, but still... Thought I'd repeat the feat for an easy highscore in score attack and can't get anywhere close now!

Make sure you have the correct sound settings set. It defaults to 2.0 Stereo, not 5.1 DTS. They put in a bunch of other mix modes too (like reverb, etc...) which I don't think appeared in older versions. Maybe mess with those?

DTS sounds ace. There are some missing sound effects versus the PS2 version (specifically, the diamond-shaped dudes at the very end of the game). I'm thinking they ported the DC version, though I'm not sure b/c I've only played the PS2 one.

I tried both stereo and DTS, even though I haven't got a surround sound setup.

Perhaps it's a bit too bassy for my HD TV speakers? :)

The video for Raiden Fighters Aces has been up for download for a while now but I haven't seen anyone mention it yet.

Lets hope it's a bit better than recent XBLA "2D" shmup offerings. it's looking great.
