Had a few goes on this and am loving it so far. This was my highlight of E3, and so far at least Ive not been let down. Back to basics gameplay is instantly satisfying, the graphics are beautifully drawn and backgrounds are well rendered in the two levels Ive seen so far. With 4 pods and lasers its some pretty lethal destruction, I like the sound the red organic things make when you destroy them in particular. Can anyone find a use for the double shot? I always bypass it and go straight for the laser myself. I also use Type 4 at present.

All of the different types have their uses it's just about how you plan to tackle the level. I've done the first level on all 4 types on 1 life. I'm still trying to find out my hit zone of the ship. This game is designed very well. Not to mention the game is two players at the same time and the music rocks!
I can easily recommend it so far to anyone

My views posted on another forum:
OMG!! I managed to play this today at a mate's house and basically played through a level and a bit - only had 30 mins at his place.
First off, this is EASILY the best looking shoot-em-up I have ever seen on ANY system. Better even than the mighty Ikaruga on Cube
The Vic Viper seems larger than I remember in comparison to the rest of the screen which can be a problem with weaving in and out of the bullets etc but they have been generous with the collision detection thank goodness.
First level starts off thick and fast with the usual cannon fodder and then moves onto the bit where you have those red globe things. These are amazing to look at. Animated wiith some gorgeous texture effects.
End of level baddie then warps in through a worm hole or something - and, once again, its arrival is a sight to behold. The visuals really are second to none IMHO!
Another huge improvement is in the animation. The little dinky turrets now rotate and point their little guns at you so fluidly it almost seems a shame to shoot them!
Managed to just get to the second level then had to go back to work. I won't spoil for you. Suffice to say it also looks amazing.
I am shaking at the thought of mine arriving. This could be my game of the year already!!
