What this game focuses on is simple, addictive, ultra-fast paced gameplay with plenty of eye-candy to go with not replace good game play and mechanics.
It's rather simplistic travel around the outside of a tunnel, shooting all the "insects" that are coming at you, while collecting the occasional extra weapon, avoid all the enemy shots/obstacles, and kill the boss at the end of each level. All that, while there are plenty of flashing lights and fancy visual effects, while the tunnel sometimes morphs and bends obscuring your vision, and while the game speeds up level after level after level...
It's very much old-style, and the comparisons to Tempest are somewhat accurate with the Crystal Method soundtrack, and a comfortable seat, you should soon find yourself in "the zone", where you're more reacting than consciously playing and that's just what you need to do.
If you have other simplistic shooters, you're not likely to have much room for this one alongside them but if you don't have any, and want one for the occasional mindless game with beautiful visuals, this is surely it.

This game is truly the Tempest of the new century. Basically this game is tunnel shooter. You travel down a tunnel swiveling around it and shooting the bugs to get a high score. This has been done before, and usually is quite boring. But NOT THIS TIME.Where other games of this sort falters this one blasts off into the stratosphere. The walls of the tunnel undulate, collapse, and move back and forth faster and faster as you progress. The more enemies you shoot, the faster you go. The hypnotic music keeps your ears glued, while your eyes soak up the sweet (especially for their time) visuals. And when you die (as surely you must), a huge amount of nitrous oxide is released, giving you an enormous speed boost (and possibly causing you to die again)!
Of course, this is all before you enter the cheat codes (which do crazy things like making the whole screen ripple like it's underwater!). As far as shooters of this kind go, this really is the cream of the crop. It ranks up there with Einhander, Raiden Project, and the R-Types. Get it if you love shooters.

This is one of those mindless games that you can get lost in for hours. You chose your aircraft then enter a psychedelic tunnel. In here you fly down a single path and shoot bugs. If you miss a bug it shows up again in front of you, sometimes changing into a harder bug. You can fly 360 degrees around the tunnel wall, and options allow for the tunnel to move around you or for you to move around the tunnel. When a bug has been shot a coin with the letter "E" on it goes shooting ahead of you. You can power this coin up by shooting it before you collect it. There are also random brown mushrooms around the tunnels which can also be charged up. Collecting these items gives you bonuses such as bonus rounds and firewalls. And with a soundtrack by the Crystal Method (basically the album Vegas) you cant go wrong. All in all, i rate this as a game you should definitely look into picking up. Also, it will play on the PS3.
