Ikaruga

" After deliberating, I cannot, in good conscience, give this game anything but a perfect score. Whether you enjoy shooters or not, it is simply something that must be played. Treasure created a wonderful experience, and has delivered that very same experience to the 360, perfectly intact, accomplishing far more than it aspires to do, and offering much more than just a shmup. "

"Ikaruga is anything but a weak shooter. This is an incredibly hard game that will leave you cursing on more than one occasion. If you stick with it, however, you'll soon reap its rewards. Ikaruga sets a new standard for Xbox Live Arcade, and it simply can't be beat."

Time has not diminished Ikaruga's sublime shooting experience. This game still trumps other shooters with its unparalleled design and challenge.

"This is my third time playing Ikaruga, and I'm still not very good at it, but somehow that doesn't matter. Each play is a joy, and each small improvement a delight."

"Another aspect that is different from other standard shoot-em-ups is the fact that you can clear the game entirely without firing your gun at all, and just by absorbing the different attacks for points you can go through all five chapters (any stage bosses will leave the screen after a set time)."
