"There are still things that could have done with work the slowdown is particularly annoying when it occurs but generally speaking its an excellent, by the numbers shooter, and superb entertainment, without a gimmick in sight."
"The story takes place in a distant future where interstellar migration is a reality. It is 31 years after the last civil war, and just when the human race thinks it is a time of peace a new threat emerges."
"...since...appearance on the Sega CD system...has been known for its excellent production values as well as its tried-and-true approach to shooter gameplay...continues in this vein, which makes it often mildly disappointing, as gamers doubtlessly expect at least some sort of innovation..."
"The PS2 gets one of the best, and prettiest, shoot-em-up's in recent memory."
"In Silpheed, the ship is equipped with a shield that can take several hits before the ship will be destroyed. Once the shield and ship are destroyed, the game is over. This is a slightly different approach than many of today's shooters where you die with a single shot, but have a couple of lives."
