So i bought this game, because it's been a long time since i played a good shooter. And everyone was saying how hard it was, and i felt like a challenge :-) But holy shit... satan himself must have involved in the creation of this game :-p It is really hard, i'm not kidding! I'm playing it on the 'easy' level... and already the screen is so full of bullets and enemies that you can hardly see the (amazing) backgrounds. Talk about intense action! Just thinking about the 'normal' level gives me nightmares... not to mention 'hard' :-p The color-changing idea is really novel. A simple concept, but very complex once you start playing. And i have to say: I am loving it! :-) Yes, you die almost every 2 seconds, but somehow the frustration-level is still tolerable... and the urge to try it again for just one more time is incredibly big. You litterally have to struggle very hard for every centimeter of progress... but it's so good! Very few modern games still offer this level of challenge and satisfaction. Not for beginners though :-p |

Treasure make such wonderful games. I was really happy (and slightly) surprised to see this game in the American Top 40 games chart. It is great to see people out there still like old-school style shooting stuff and haven't all been brainwashed by a lot of the style-over-substance games that have been coming out in the past few years. Though, sadly, I am yet to play Ikaruga. Hopefully soon... |

"I was really happy (and slightly) surprised to see this game in the American Top 40 games chart." Oh really? I'm surprised to hear that too... That makes me happy :-) Maybe this will send out a strong signal to gamesdeveloppers that a game doesn't has to be 3d and ultra-realistic to be succesful. "style-over-substance games" That's exactly right. Ofcourse there are some wonderful exceptions, but overal i really feel like the gamesindustry is all going downhill at this moment. I enjoyed the 16bit consoles era so much more :-) "I am yet to play Ikaruga. Hopefully soon..." Yes, if you like this kind of thing i'm sure you won't be dissapointed! |

It's a fantastic game. I already have it for the DC, but I'm considering it for the GC. It's damned hard though as you point out. |

Once you get into a kind of trance and the colour swapping becomes automatic it's not so hard, as soon as you lose that state of mind you lose all your remiaining lives in seconds :) |

I love this game, just wait untill you get to the level 4 boss. HOLY F"IN SHIT that is hard!!! good luck. There's a video somewhere on the web of someone getting perfect chains and not dieing at all on the first level. It's pretty amazing. |

"Once you get into a kind of trance and the colour swapping becomes automatic it's not so hard," damn, that sounds good! :-) I am yet to reach such a state of trance. I haven't even begun to properly create those 'chains' yet. I basically keep the fire-button constantly pressed down and shoot everything that moves :-p Which is hard enough already! I'm gonna need alot more practice before i can start selecting which enemies to shoot to create perfect chains. So far i've made it to somewhere in the 3rd chapter. There's this section where some sort of bars keep coming out of the left and right wall... like doors closing, and only leaving a very small space to fly through. It all happens so fast... i keep crashing. I haven't been able to properly defeat the level 2 boss either. Just to survive long enough, and then it just goes away. But it's not very satisfying when you don't kill it! I want to see it die! :-p |
