The great difficulty is a good challenge to the hardcore shooter fan, and the extras are well worth the effort.

Planet Dreamcast
Easily one of the better Dreamcast shooters behind "Gunbird 2" and "Bangai-O." Just be prepared to die. A lot. You'll get better in time.

Mars Matrix may be REALLY FREAKING HARD, but it’s still a lot of fun. The alternate mode and the shop options will just keep on drawing you back. But if you can ignore the insane difficulty, you won’t regret purchasing a two-dimensional shooter for the Dreamcast.

Game Revolution
It is very hard and probably will only appeal to shooter fans, but it's a solid title through and through.

An excellent effort that no shooter fan should overlook. The gameplay is solid even if it is a little on the difficult side, the graphics are decent, it has excellent replay value, and the overall presentation is top notch.

From start to finish, the game is a non-stop blast-a-thon. If you're a fan of the genre, you won't be disappointed.

Core Magazine
Old school sadists will love the ongoing screen-filling barrage of enemy fire, but most mortals won't have the persistence needed to finish the game.

GameSpot
Its gameplay systems are solid, as are its presentation and production values--it really is the game that Gigawing could have been.

DC Swirl
Plenty of depth if that's all you're looking for, but it's weighed down by an engine that would have been deemed outdated several years ago.
