About the game: This is your normal vertical scroller shooter. You control a ship and shoot enemies, while racking up lots of points.
Controls: The stylus is not used instead you use the D-Pad and B and A. B shoots your main weapon and A uses your special weapon.
Graphics: The graphics are pretty good for the game. Some cool 3d worlds, but graphics really are not a big part of the game.
Sound: Some decent tunes that are catchy. Keeps the mood and tone of the game.
Gameplay: What makes the game interesting are the 2 different types of ships you can choose from.
Firstly, you have the easy ship where you are basically invulnerable. You have a special ability that turns bullets into torrents. This way once you use your special ability which in turn uses some energy, you can then use the torrents they leave behind to refill your energy. The biggest part of the game is using the special ability at the right time to turn bullets into torrents. The only way you can die as this ship is if your energy bar runs out and then you get hit.
The other ship is for experts. The special weapon is much harder to use and you are not invulnerable. Any hit will destroy your ship. As of this writing I still have not completed the game using this ship.
There are also 2 different modes you can play with (4 modes total 1 with each ship). Pattern mode which like galaga the enemies come in a specific pattern so you know whats coming next. Also a random mode, so you will have no idea whats coming next.
Something that has been sorely missing on most DSi games but is included in this one is online leaderboards. This adds some competitiveness to the game and makes you want to get in the top 10. You are also able to watch the replay of the top 10 people in any of the modes, which can allow you to learn some strategies.
This is a very fun game and super cheap. Its not very long, but these games never are. The point of the game is to keep you playing so you can get a real high score.
