Danmaku fans or bullet hell shooter fans there is something you need called Söldner a port from the PS3 I believe and one that looks awesome in motion. If Star Fox was a side scroller it would be this. Bombs blasting, major bosses that take up the screen and the guns for example a scatter gun or magma cannon. The 10 stage bullet fest (well 10 if you get the add on) is sliky smooth and 60 FPS bullet hell fun.
There is a story unlike most shooters but it gets crazy even for the 5 minutes it takes to tell it but that is not the important part. The controls make these games and I can say that it works though tutorials should pop up without having to press a button. I am a big danmaku fan though not good, I love the high scoring chase and the need to hit everything. I will say by level 10 I just wanted to survive and that last boss was crazy.
What they have done that most don't and for good reason is they added challenges. Like don't get hit for 2:30 in a certain level or a easier one, collect 999 rings in a single level. I haven't done it yet but breaking 989 has to be done soon right? Graphics look great and backgrounds move along nicely with the action to the point it's hard to keep focus. I prefer the Gradius style to Cave's style just because it's easier to see and Söldner X2 is a port done very very well.
I may not be great at the challenges but this game is not just for experts but for any person wanting a fun short session in what classic arcade games were like. They have credits in this game. How old school is that? Also each level has a gold orb that is called a key. Collect 4 from each world to open up more levels. Some are easy while some will take skill.
Score 9 out of 10
Pros: smooth gameplay Lots of bullets Great scenery
Cons: some parts might be too fast
