What Gamespot Users have to say about Ikaruga
- Rating:9.4
Quite possibly the greatest shooter ever made... and also the most difficult game ever made.
Since my childhood, I'm certain I have spent a small country's deficit's worth of quarters burning countless blurs and images into my retinas at arcades. Sure I played your good-old standbys: your Pac-Mans, your Donkey K... Read Full Review

Ikaruga is a game for the truly hardcore, and makes a great gift for a gamer that needs taking down a peg or two.
Ikaruga. If you look it up in a dictionary, you’ll see the game “Battle Toads” and the phrase “foetal position” are used in the definition. Indeed, if you have any hope of seeing the alternate ship in Ikaruga - let alone... Read Full Review

1942 redux with improvements.

This shoot em up game belongs in the heart of many gamers.
How can a shoot-em-up have a high score? I'm really not so sure. There is no real story. You only destroy things on screen. No friendlies to worry about. Not even in a two player game. You die in one hit. There is no ... Read Full Review

From the very moment I put this into my Dreamcast, I knew I had something amazing on my hands...
First off....WOW. Okay, that's done. From first glance, Ikaruga looks like your regular, run-of-the-mill shooter; then...you play it. Now the graphics are obviously dated but they are still a masterpiece in their own ... Read Full Review
