The Gamecube has it...you should be able to find one in the used section of your local Blockbuster/EB Games/etc.

I recently saw this game in person for the first time at a party. It's nuts! I only got to play a little bit, but if we weren't on free play mode (unlimited lives) we wouldn't have made it too far. The guy who owns it can't beat it without free play on, i think he can get to the 4th level though.

It would definitely take me a lot of practice to memorize what stuff to do and get every nuance of the controls down to be any good at this game.

I don't really want to shell out $40+ for it though.

Yeah, and you can only kill enemies that are the opposite color as you also.

Edit: actually you just do more damage to them.

You can actually kill enemies as either colour, but you do double damage to enemies of opposite colour.

VTF is indeed a fantastic player - if you are a fan of the videos you should try to track down his Radiant Silvergun videos where he completes (and fully chains) each level with only the sword.

Also to a poster from the beginning of the thread - the GC version is not toned down from the DC version - they are essentially identical in terms of difficulty.

Check out some of the other videos on the site too - there are great single player videos too.

For all those wondering if the game is worth buying - you really should try it out first. I have put well over 400 hours into the game, so it was well worth what I paid for it.
