Pretty much what you have are a few lives, a ship, infinite amo and really hard levels. You NEED a second player to help you get through the levels until you can figure out the patterns of enemy ships and bullet fire. The music is ok but the thing that really stands out, considering what gaming era it came from, is the graphics. It's not like they're like OMGWTF awesome, but they're good enough to be noticed as a little better than the average Game Cube game.

If you've never played it, maybe you don't want to. It is definitely NOT a game for the average gamer. It's on the Game Cube. It was originally an arcade game but somewhere along the line they made it into a regular game. It's kinda hard to find since it's a few years old. I'd say it's nearing collectors item stage. I found my copy on ebay from a guy living in Florida for about $50 I think. I could be a few dollars off though.

  1. omg I want this game so badly but I've never been able to find it anywhere it's as hard to find as Einhander which is another game I really want
