Chaos Field is one tough shmup, but a game that manages to offer enough variety, depth, and adrenalin-pumping moments to make it more than worthwhile. There are some breathtaking moments of sheer terror on offer here, which will humble and thrill even the bravest of players. [JPN Import]

If you are willing to put in time... you’ll find Chaos Field: Expanded to be an adequate but by no means essential shooter. [May 2005, p.104]
60 Edge Magazine
The field-switching, bullet-mopping and piece-by-piece takedowns quickly feel a bit fiddly and chore-like. Although its surgical approach can feel oddly therapeutic, seasoned shmuppers will crave a bit of old-fashioned kill-or-be-killed brutality. [Feb 2005, p.79]
