I recently picked up this game at the flea market (along with another Saturn controller and Duke Nukem 3D (<3)) and I've been loving it since. It's kinda like a Galaga and Star Fox (SNES) combination, but more awesome. It's for Sega CD, and for good reason - It uses a combination of FMV and polygons to make the best Sega CD experience I've ever had.
But it's better to show you... here.

Those cutscenes.. were they real time? I didn't know the Sega CD could push that many polys o.o

Impressive.

I had no idea a 32-bit system was capable of something like this. Thats a lot of polys. =/

Why is the background running at a different framerate than the on-screen action? Looks like FMV to me.

It uses a combination of FMV and polygons...

Though, I've never noticed any framerate differences. Video recording problem perhaps?

It seems that your eyes need training. 30 FPS against 10-15 FPS should be pretty darn obvious.

Quite possible. People say Sonic Adventure and SADX have different framerates, I haven't noticed a difference.

Sonic Adventure runs at 30 fps, DX runs at 60 fps (most of the time). The DX cutscenes still run at 30 fps though.
