rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author theragu40 - Allow me to preface this review with the fact that this game is EXTREMELY hard, moreso than almost any other game I have played, the only possible exception being Super Ghouls and Ghosts for the SNES. So if you aren't up for a challenge, don't even...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kjell1979 - I've grown up with scrolling shooters. The drug store that was right up the road from my house used to have two arcade machines.

Wed, 1 Sep 2004 19:04:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kpmt012 - Let me start by saying that I love old-school shooters. I used to spend quarter after quarter in the arcade trying to finish games like 1942 and Xevious. Only a true shooter fan knows the thrill of passing between enemy fire with a millimeter to spare,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zapbrangan - Intro I went out and bought this game just based on the reviews I had read. I usually don't do that; I'm always preaching "Rent before you buy". But this game wasn't that talked about and wasn't really given a chance. So it was impossible for me t...

Ikaruga for GameCube: Pure madness

Thu, 17 Apr 2003 13:21:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author onionhead2001 - Shooters are a dying breed, much to the dismay of self-proclaimed "hardcore" gamers everywhere.
