Been playing this a bit over the past few days and am really enjoying it.
Anyone who has played the original will know it was a really under rated shmup and one of (if not the?) only shooter on the DS.
Anyway, you get adventure mode which sees you take on 8 or so levels with a story shoe horned in to keep this 'interesting'.
You get a choice of weapons to add to your ship and unlock more as you progres. Most of these are pretty cool and useful against certain bosses etc.
As far as I remember, the original was all vertically scrolling but here there's a nice mix of both.
It's not the hardest game in the world (bosses in particular seem pretty easy) but there's enough going on to keep you on your toes.
In summary, this is a fantastic shmup and well worth picking up if you own a DS, regardless if you are a fan of the genre or not
