I second the GoT love.  Such an awesome game, and a freebie with the Duo to boot!!  :)  I've never really played Download for more than a few stages.  I wonder if I should just give that one some attention.
Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

I suck at shooters and have to agree with you.

I suck at Download, yet can beat Gate of Thunder with ease.

key to beating download is knowing what the power ups do

tiptopjames

hmm, i have not played the first download, but i own download 2. I like it quite a bit, looks like i'm firing up the everdrive!

Devil mode is totally doable. Good luck.

second.
I have no real problems with GoT, despite my love, but goddamn, Download just kind of shit stomps me into the ground.
at least I get to lol at the game over screens.

Download and GoT have equal difficulty levels in my opinion, neither is really difficult but both will require some playthoughs and strategy to defeat. For a good and difficult shooter that isn't real expensive Aero Blasters is an excellent choice. You'll get many hours of enjoyment (and frustration) before you beat that one.

GoT is a few try clear on normal :)

Yes it has a two player option, if you own it and are ready for another good shooter I wouldn't wait for a partner, it's a fun yet difficult game.

aero blasters difficulty curve goes like exponential.
