Product Description:
In a distant future, a plague of parasitic monsters is sweeping across the known universe, devouring all the resources in its path - including the distant outposts humanity calls home. The only chances for mankind's survival are a top-secret starship class know as Silpheed and the hyper-skilled pilots at the controls.
Blast through eight levels of intense combo-driven gameplay, utilizing nine blazing weapon types that are unlocked as the player reaches new scoring plateaus.
The design deities at Game Arts and Treasure (the of Guardian Heroes, LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete, and Radiant Silvergun) have come up with the perfect combination of deep, flexible gameplay and dazzling visual imagery.
Destroy the terrifying invaders before they devour Mother Earth!

Amazon.com Review:
If you think you have heard the name Silpheed before, you are not hallucinating. A version of the game was released on the now-defunct Sega CD back in 1994. Silpheed was a shooter done in psuedo 3-D where, rather than moving your ship up and down à la Galaga, you moved your ship in and out.
Silpheed: The Lost Planet offers the same method of play. You still can't move up and down, though some enemies may shoot at you from above or below. Like most shooters, the game isn't about exploration and navigation, but rather it's all about dexterity and shooting as rapidly as your fingers will allow.
In this game you pilot a SA-77 craft that has gun slots on its left and right. You can put a different weapon on each side of the ship, and you can even fire them both simultaneously. You start off with two versions of the Vulcan cannon. As you make your way through the game, you will earn more weapons.
The storyline involves an alien race appearing just outside a planet colonized by humans. The aliens have taken over, and the retreating humans are followed back to our solar system by the pesky creatures. The entire story is told through wonderful full-motion video sequences, which, for some reason, were not done in the higher-resolution DVD format.
The sound effects are your standard shooter fare, so they're good. The music is a letdown, though. Nostalgic Sega fans will recognize the previous game's theme in one of the FMV sequences, but other than that, the music is completely forgettable.
The main problem with Silpheed is that it looks great, but it only plays and feels like an average shooter from an older game system. Nothing about the gameplay will get your adrenaline pumping--and that's exactly what a good shooter is supposed to do. --Todd Mowatt
Pros: Cons: - Unimaginative weapons
- Graphics slowdown often hinders the gameplay

When this game first came out, I purchased it, took off the plastic surrounding it, and looked deep into its eyes. I wondered if it was the one for me, questioning the validity of such topics, and figured I'd give it a shot. And, after that initial test, we instantly fell in love.
And what was not to love?
It offering me a ship to fly me, and I offered it the dynamics of human reflexes and it was on.
Instantly we connected, the flashbacks from Gradius - a younger and more foolishly ... Read More

Someone once asked if the top-scrolling flight-sim/shooter is dead. I suppose the answer to this is yes...and no. True, very few of these games are being made, those that are made are good enough (though rarely fantastic) to keep the genre alive, if only for a little while. I suppose they will go the way of drive-in theaters: With people missing them, but with no one really going out of their way to keep them alive.
I like Working Designs. The attention they give to their projects rivals ... Read More

I purchased this game with my new PS2, about a year ago. I was definitely surprised that a game with such an old gameplay concept had come out on an advanced system like the PS2. I figured the shooter had died out with the arcade-heyday. Was I ever wrong! The graphics in this game are absolutely stunning, and the explosions, despite not being obnoxious fireballs of death, are smooth and colorful, especially when they temporarily white-out the screen. The cinemas really fit in with the sci-fi feel ... Read More

I recommend this masterpiece to anyone who likes games such as Einhander, Contra Hard Core, Daruis, R-type, or Gradius. The actions, graphics and sounds are all intense. Backgrounds are well designed and detailed. This game is 2D but the background shifts at times to bring you into the action. A lot of work must have gone into making Silpheed. The normal challenge setting is not absurdly difficult; most players should be able to complete all the missions without resorting to cheat codes. More importantly, ... Read More

A Father's Day gift, otherwise I would not even have touched it. Why anybody would knowingly pay... for a 1970's vintage scrolling shooter game for the PS2 is beyond me! What a waste of code and processor power! Nothing original here, nothing exciting, nothing new in the two-dimensional arcade-style scrolling shooter. And the packaging is somewhat deceptive in leading one to believe it is a modern PS2 sort of game.
Yeah, it does take advantage of the additional polygons the PS2 can generate to ... Read More
