Mmmmmh...Hard to evaluate this one. On one side the game presents nice grafics and good endbosses. Also a new feature for shooters: By moving left or right u can fire small shots sideways killing enemies and giving u bonus-multipliers for a real high-score. Also u can destroy enemies with ur vapor trail (also giving u multipliers).

As much fun as this sounds, its hard work on ur ankles and more so on the stick-switches. Sometimes the game reminds me of the button-smashing action of International Track and Field.
Its a shooter to master, but without the thrill to make u try doing so. There are better shooters out there, but if ure hungry for a new experience, try it.
