Dreamcast remaster of the original Death Crimson, light gun with slightly polished presentation. Sensations and staging remain crude. A cult memento more than a truly recommendable game.

Death Crimson OX (Dreamcast) price, value & rarity
Released in 2000, this Ecole rail shooter tries to redeem the calamitous reputation of the first Death Crimson, long mocked as a peak of failure. The result stays clumsy, with imprecise aiming and kitsch staging, yet a sincerity and a certain swagger end up building an offbeat charm. The uneven challenge and the dated presentation weigh heavily. Lovers of Japanese curiosities and hunters of cult objects mostly find a genre legend to experience with a light gun for the pleasure of discovery.
