What is it?
An old-fashioned shooter with explosions-a-plenty from cult Japanese developers Treasure.
Is it fun?
You bet.
Is it worth the money? £24.99
Not for 25 quid, but for £17.99 from play.com, yes indeedy.
Why?
It’s not the best Treasure game but it is lots and lots of fun. Basically an arcade style shooter, it has a lot of variety. Most levels are side-on with your character jumping about platforms, but others see you standing on the back of a high speed jet craft, afterburner-style/collecting cute chicks/piloting an attack craft vertically through a city.
Sadly there is no difference between the two playable characters you can choose, which seems a bit of a waste.
Although not a huge game, it looks superb, has some great cutscene characters and some amazing multi-segmented bosses. If you like retro shooters, then this is definitely worth a look.
