apples and oranges maybe but which one do you like best? : ) (PS: can Ikaruga still be enjoyable if you suck?) |

I've got both. I regularly play both lots... I would say Ikaruga will only be really enjoyable if you're good at old school scrolling shoot em ups- most people find it very hard. Rez on the other hand has an excellent learning curve and the music is better than Ikaruga's IMO. I'd go for Rez if you absolutely positively can only afford one, but if you can, get both. |

i could afford both, but video games are so expensive... - i was leaning towards Rez but now i'm asking because i heard Ikaruga wasn't edited anymore (so in order not to have regrets afterwards...) thanks =) |

fuck man I want to get Rez so badly, but it doesn't go for less than like $70 on ebay, and no stores around here have it... anyone know of a place where I could find it for a decent price? |

I got rez for about 55 dollars on ebay. It's great- definately not a industry stamped out clone for money. It's weird though. I havn't heard of Ikaruga. |

ikaruga is just plain tedious after a certain period with the points scoring system and everything, and its fucking frustrating. but the dynamics of it is great, a very avant garde game rez looks but i dont have it |

ehr... these games aren't available for the same console are they? So unless you have more than one console, you'll never be able to play both. I've only played Ikaruga, but love that one very much. It's so hard though. The 4th level makes me want to cry. I'm beginning to understand what ceri said about this game awhile ago, 'bout getting in a trance :-) As long as i don't think too much about it, i can sort of survive in the 4th level (with all the streams of black and white bullets, each rotating in a different direction). But as soon as i start thinking: "what the fuck am i doing? This is way too hard!" I immediately get hit :-D Oh well... one day i will make it past that damned level. |

surrounded > no, but my brother has a ps2 and i've bought a gamecube a few weeks ago (with zelda windwaker, hasn't got any other gc games yet) so i could play both =) |

for shootemups with ace music you gotta play mars matrix, the sounds and colours arnt linked to the action in any way, but the music's nasty as hell and it's the most difficult game i've played |

BOTH they BOTH rule in different ways, get REZ for instant gratification and Ikaruga for the long term goal of "uping" your skill level. It will get you ready for R-Type Final and Gradius 5!!!! |

Both available for DC :) Rez is also on PS2, Ikaruga is also on GC. It's the same for me, as soon as I actually focus on colour swapping I can't do it and avoid stuff at the same time, I sort of "autopilot" my colour changes and just focus on piloting and shooting. |

"Both available for DC :)" Ahh, i see :-) I already knew ikaruga originally appeared on the DC, but didn't know that about rez. Rez does sound special though... i'm still hoping it will also makes its way to GC ;-) "I sort of "autopilot" my colour changes and just focus on piloting and shooting." yeah, that is the way to go. I already can do it sometimes. Well i don't really do it i guess, it's more like it happens to me sometimes. It's fantastic the way you become better at the game almost without noticing it. The other day i made it through the 1st level without losing even one ship... i couldn't have even imagined that a few weeks ago :-p |

i found Rez for something like 20 euros, new - so, got both! =) and i like both (Ikaruga being my favorite though - a masterpiece of a game... it is very hard but it's a good difficulty, not a "cheating" and frustrating difficulty like some games have...) anyone knows how to free Eden in Rez? (btw, i know Ikaruga has been stopped producing... it's getting hard to find now! and i'm not sure for Rez but it's probably the same) |

Rez is discontinued due to problems with peoples playing it and having seizures. I don't know about Ikaruga, but Treasure IS working for Nintendo now, so there's a possibility it still might be available. I have yet to play Ikaruga, but if it's a difficult shooter, I'm in. Games are too easy these days. And btw, I believe you have to reach certain levels of accuracy % and item retrieval % in each stage in Rez to get Eden free. It's a time-consuming process. And you don't know you're successful until you've beaten the last boss. But if you're havin trouble with the boss, not to worry. Half of it is luck. And a lot of bombs. Keep shooting at everything until Eden reassembles. |

overdrives are very useful also for the last boss... |
