I like Ikaruga on the gamecube so I thought I would get this game which lot of people compare to Ikaruga type game. I am glad I did. It is the same type of game like Ikaruga but it has it's own unique gameplay.
This game has 4 weapon types as well as big-bombs vs. the two weapon types in Ikaruga. The weapons are all tactically different in this game... one shoots straith, another curves, and then there is one that shoots from the sides only and another that locks on to whatever is hit and keeps doing damage as long as you hold the attack or the enemy is destroyed. Additionally each weapon has its own special energy attack... overall the weapons provide a good variety of ways to defeat enemies effectively. The stages, action, challenge level etc are all great. It has the most action going on of any DS game I have played so far.
The game has single-cart multiplayer for up to two players which I like playing and gives lot of replayability. The 'adventure' mode has 8 stages which one could probably complete on the normal difficulty in a few days. Other modes such as the challenge mode would probably take people long long time since much more difficult.
My only criticism is that the weapon switching can only be done with the touch screen. It might have been better to do the touch screen but also allow the DS shoulder buttons to cycle through the weapons cause with so much going on in the top screen it isn't always possible to look at the touch screen to change the weapons.
