Well a few of you have been waiting on this title and it’s finally coming to Xbox Live Arcade. Ikaruga is a fast-paced scrolling shooter with a twist – players must constantly switch their ship’s polarity to maximize their damage output and avoid incoming enemy fire of the opposite polarity. It will feature a two-player co-op mode both locally and over Xbox LIVE. Newcomers can also easily bring their skill up to speed by using the game’s slow motion training mode.

Ikaruga is the best shmup since Radiant Silvergun. I have it on the Dreamcast, so I don’t think I’ll buy this one.

Listen to these people Deacon. It’s the greatest shooter ever. I have it for the GameCube, which is a rare game and is valued at high prices these days. I am buying it! AWESOME GAME!
