There’s no tale behind this game. The back of the package displays a greatly written intro to a tale, but as you start to play, you realize that this is just a unadorned point and click shooting game. For those of you who delight in pointing and clicking without reason, go ahead and buy it. But for the rest of you, esspecially those who delight in a excellent tale, stray away from this title.

This is a classic 2-D shooter. With a modern twist of affect coding attacks. Which means you have to switch the (polarity) affect depending on what is coming at you. yeah there is only two colors (polaritys) but it gets nerve racking trying to switch. Considering they are sending them at you non-stop. the graphics are very nice and quick. This game being out on Dreamcast means this version on the superior GC is a flawless convertion. The game is very small. With only a total of five levels in all. Yet there is also bonus stuff you can open up with enough points or time spent. But who in fact wants to play owing to the same levels just to get to the bonus material. This is mostly for fans of the classic 2-D flight fighter sports meeting. Like Galaga,and joust. It is lots of fun until the intial week. Then you will find you have either beaten it or tired of trying. The game only takes up 4 blocks of memory on the card. Also it is 2 players so it is fun to play with friends. All in all i would recommend renting it. If you like then buy it used.

Well, i’m a massive fan of arcade shooters. I spend all my tokens or quarters or no matter what on them when I go to arcades. So when i heard about this game, i had to get it. I got home and popped it in my Gamecube, and this is what I got. No tale line, five levels, no potential ups, slow moving, rather pointless game. Now don’t get me incorrect, I really know why the people here have givin it such high ratings, and thats because this game deserves it. The challenge is absolutly incredible, controlls are splendid, and the whole polarity thing is awesome. But, rent this before you buy, because this game is not for everyone, don’t expect your typical arcade shooter, this is for some very challenge purists, not for someone looking for laid back fun. So anyway, I finished up hating this game, and sold it about a month later for Resident evil zero, which you can see my review for on that page. It will be titled Nifty Keen, because there is really not to much distinction between reviews exept for the title when you write a review on the 12 year ancient gamer thing. Blah, bye bye now.

This game is one of the best sports meeting for gamecube ever made!I recommend that if you get a gamecube GET THIS GAME!First of all,the gameplay is like graidus or raiden, an over head flying game. Theres only one difference-the game play is ten times better!This is not one of those sports meeting that you get a bunch of weapons, it stayes unadorned but its still excellent.You have polaritys to switch between.In english:black bullets kill white ships quicker, and visa versa.when you absorb their bullits (by being the same affect), you charge up to release energy in homing lasers. But enough about the game(which is, by the way, EXTREMILY hard),the garphics are the best out of any arcad game you can find!The backround is in 3D, and it is always moving.Its like your really flying a plane.The explosions are spactacular!When you destory bosses, they fall apart, then explode.The explosions fill up the whole screen with pies of the boss!My personal faviorite is the second boss, when his arm cannons fall off, and then finally he explodes!If you have no thought what im talking about GET THIS GAME!PS, you can post your high scores online!
