A blaze of fiendish difficulty and strategic brilliance. You're about to be sorted.
-
There are so many options to earn -- like new levels, more continues, faster recharge on your special weapons – that you’ll find yourself playing over and over again just to see what’s next.
-
If you're one of those gamers that constantly needs a challenge or if you're looking for something that'll test your gaming mettle, Mars Matrix might be up your shooting alley.
-
Dreamcast.netIt's incredibly hard.
-
Da GameboyzThe great difficulty is a good challenge to the hardcore shooter fan, and the extras are well worth the effort.
-
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.

netjakMars 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.

AllDreamcastAn 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.
-
Daily RadarIt might not look great, but it's pure blasting entertainment.
-
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.
-
It is very hard and probably will only appeal to shooter fans, but it's a solid title through and through.
-
Get your ass to Mars.
-
Its gameplay systems are solid, as are its presentation and production values--it really is the game that Gigawing could have been.
-
Plenty of depth if that's all you're looking for, but it's weighed down by an engine that would have been deemed outdated several years ago.
