Forums - Microsoft - Should I buy Ikaruga?

I beat the demo in about 15 mins, will the full game take more than a couple of hours? The game seems much easier than RS, which is really hard.

From what I've heard, yes. Everyone on NeoGAF certainly loves Ikaruga over Radiant Silvergun.

I can't remember how long the Ikaruga demo is..How many chapters do you get?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I don't know if they changed anything on the XBLA version, but you should definitely buy this game if it is the same as the GC version. It is one of the hardest games in existence.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I would get it since you beat the demo less than 15 minutes and on top of that it seems to fit your gaming style.

And you get achievements. I'm not to interested in 2D shooters anymore so I wouldn't want to give a review, but judging your post. It fits your bill awesome :)

Get it bro :D

It's the GC Version + extras: Leaderboards, Online 2 Player Co-Op, HD Graphics, but the same content.

However, as far as my understanding is, it does have better translation, and a few other things added to the content, but the levels are the same, as far as I know.

Thank chaps, I will procede to the checkout at my soonest convenience.



If you like shooters, it is fun.

I really have never been a 2D shooter fan (which ponders the question why I have Thunder Force V and Radiant Silvergun). I purchased the GC version of Ikaruga, could not stay alive for more than a minute, and realized that there were better things to do with $38 (even if it is devalued US dollars).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Fortunately now, Ikaruga is $10 on the Arcade. Even less if you find a good deal on point cards.

Yes you should, a very decent game.

It's a crime not to, one of the best games I've ever played and I'm not hardcore into shoot em ups, but this game is godly. Also it kicks my ass mercilessly (never played the DC/GC versions which doesn't help).



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
