These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way.

YMMV: Gotcha Force
And the Fandom Rejoiced: The 2012 reprint proved that Capcom still remembers that Gotcha Force exists, and leads many fans to wonder if it's purpose is to gauge interest for a sequel.
Cult Classic: Incredible combat? Yup. Insane replayability? Yup. Addictive team building? Yup. Stellar multiplayer? Yup. Professional reviewers hated it and nobody bought it? Yup.
8.8: Probably the biggest death blow for this game was the near-unanimous panning by big-name professional reviewers. 90% of the fan community wonders, in less polite terms, what they were smoking.
For much of the game, a single Barrier Girl in the hands of a skilled player can take out hundreds of opponents, and in the endgame a Beam Gunner can finish a level solo.
The Death Saucer, a borg which costs only 1000 GF energy, can pretty much beat the entire game minus the final boss by using it in every fight and tapping the B button. It has an obscene amount of health and sports tracking, auto-targeting lasers that are strong, difficult to dodge, and recharge quickly, meaning you can keep an enemy stunned until it simply dies.
Neo G Red, being the upgraded form of the main character, is pretty powerful for a measly amount of GF Energy. Amazing melee capabilities along with incredible range make a powerful dual-function Borg whose only real problem is...not a lot of defensive options.
The Scrappy: FUCK YOU KOTARO NOBODY WANTS YOUR WHINY ASS COMING ALONG WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE SO FEW BORGS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND WHY DO YOU ALWAYS LEAP HEADFIRST INTO COMBAT DESPITE YOUR FUCKING RANGED BORGS AND AND ANDAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH
Orochi is female - actually mentioned early in game in passing and in the manual, but most people miss it.
Met. Concept art and fan art more befitting of a girl, but the voice is either a very masculine girl, or a guy. Never referred to in the game or instruction manual as a guy or girl. The baggy clothes concealing the figure don't help.
