This game is insanely difficult by design. How difficult you may ask? So feaking difficult that on the easiest difficultly, you still won't beat the game until about your 50th try. You may think you have what it takes to beat this game but in order to triumph, you have to memerize the patterns of enemies and that will make some gamers looking for a easy ride turn away in disgust. The game is really short too, about an hour is all it needs to beat it, but the replay comes in trying to better your score or just trying to stay alive. The graphics are awesome, things flow with no slowdown and everything has smooth movement. The music is awesome, it fits the game perfectly and gets into the different moods with ease. Control is perfect and responsive and you can customize it anyway you want. This game has first rate production values but should only be purchased by hardcore gamers, because those were the people that the developers had in mind when they made it. I'd rent it anyways.
