D/L'ed this last night (a fairly decent £9.99) and if you llike your shooters, its money well spent
Its no gradius V, but borrows bits from many of the great shooters, i caught whiffs of darius/gradius/gynoug/r-type but it retains that 'European' feel. Way easier than the first (i actually clocked the first 5 stages on 1 credit), but there looks to be a fair bit of content to unlock (levels are unlocked by collecting 'secret keys'). Some of the backdrops are the best i've seen. The sheer speed they zip by- forests, plants , galaxies; all present.
Music isnt as pounding or memorable as the first, and very 'amiga retro shooter'.
Voices for power up/pick ups are straight out of Gradius V with the robotic warble of ikaruga. Levels are just about the right size; perhaps abit long with loads to shoot. The bosses range from the poor to really nice.
chaining mechanisms look a little different to the first, with new multipliers added and weapons power up only a fraction after every pick up.
i'll add more after a rip on it tonight

, that was my exact same thoughts when I read that, it does look better than the first one though.
