Personal review

There's little doubt about it: this is probably one of the best 2D shoot 'm up games that was ever released. This game is very well balanced in every way. There are eight different levels, many bosses, a beautiful intro sequence and there's a demo after finishing the first four levels as well. This is a game you really have to play.
