I don't know why I love this game so much. I first played it all the way back during the Wii days. It was one of the titles on Virtual Console right as I was getting into retro gaming. Since then I've played many other shooters for all sorts of different platforms yet for some reason I always find myself coming back to this one. It's a pretty straight forward game as many in this genre are. You've got a decent collection of weapons and equipment to upgrade and collect. The game is pretty easy, perfect for someone looking to get into these games without resigning to letting Ikaruga kick your ass all day. Art and presentation are nice and I feel like I'll never forget the music from this game. Only ever found a physical copy in the wild once and it was pretty darn expensive so maybe go digital if you can or simply emulate it, it's well worth the short ride.
