This is the one everyone has been waiting for. Ikaruga has finally landed on Xbox Live Arcade. We took the game for a test drive and put together our usual video tour. Is Ikaruga worth the wait? You bet your bottom it is. If you like the bullet hell shoot-em-up genre, you need to play Ikaruga. Watch the video and find out why.

It's goooood. I tried out the multiplayer too and it was pretty smooth for the most part. I little hiccup every now and then, but other wise, a total blast. It's brutally hardcore though. My friend and I got to level 2 together only once in a dozen tries. Ikaruga is not for babies.
This game is amazing and I suggest that if you get this game and really like it, you pick up Triggerheart and look forward to Radiant Silvergun, Dodonpachi, Ketsui and Raiden Fighters Aces.
X3F has the best game reviews bar none(except for Hillary on IGN360). I don't know if I'll get this game but your video reviews in the past month or so really kick ass. Nice work!!
BTW, I don't know if I can handle the intensity of this game. It might be too frustrating and I'm playing the 360 to relax and have fun. I have a feeling I'll get too frustrated with this game and want to throw my controller across the room. =D
