original games like this come one in a blue moon, and as such they should be savored, since sequels dont always come

Like many i did not come upon this game right away. It took a high praise from the Penny Arcade crew to get me to try it (and even at that point it was already getting hard to find).

as an avid fan of the Panzer Dragoon rail shooting lock on type games i was simply in love with it. Not to mention, even though it had that same element, it had it's own flair with the musical battle system that came along with it.

almost everything about this game is fresh and great, and it almost coasts on originality points alone.

the gameplay may seem a tad familiar to some, but even then, not many lock on rail shooters are made, especially not these days.

The graphics were interesting, not ultra realistic, but unique and phsycadelic nontheless.

the music deserves mega props, not only is it great, but it's also part of the gameplay experience, as you killing enemies contributes to the musical soundtrack, it's all rather boggling to the mind but in the end it's what makes this game such an amazing treat.

the story was a tad non-existant (you are a hacker defending a computer system) and the length was not very long, but this game was truly a unique star, and such things should be appreciated, as they only come one in a blue moon.
