Created by the same guys that made Blazing Lazers (and the Star Soldier series I think) you know the pedigree is top notch. Possibly the best Graphics the SNES saw and assuredly the best use of mode 7 effects. This is a hardcore shooter in the truest sense of the word that will test your skills (the ones you used to have...before PS, and strategy guides, and GameFAQS). Pure twitch fest which surprisingly (to me at least) was more difficult during the first half of the game than the later levels. Fantastic weapon selections (Blazing Lazers fans will recognize a few), amazing bosses= the best Shmup on the system not known for its great shooters. This and Axelay will make you happy.....trust me.

I own a few shmups for the snes including Gradius III, Super R-Type, and R-Type III. I like this one the best. It has the best controls, life system, and weapons/upgrades. The weapons and upgrades are really amazing, and varied. There are 8 main types of fire, and you can augment each, switch between multiple fire-patterns for each, and lock and unlock your little sprites (like options in gradius iii) at will. "Although R-Type III might slightly beat it in the graphics department, this game is so exciting, and fast-paced it will have you in raptures. The other games seem in slow motion after playing this one.

Some other notable features inlude: a "Short Game" and a "Standard Game", difficulties of (Normal, Hard, Hyper, Tricky and Wild) which add to the replay value, challenging, yet not impossible bosses, and a great soundtrack.
