Its actuslly more of a puzzle game than a side scrolling shooter.

It's more about finding the right weapon combos to beat each level more than anything else. Id even classify this more as a puzzle game than a shooter. No real campaign mode sucks. But the Level designer is really creative. I thought the graphics were nice, but it tends to freeze up when a lot of missiles and baddies flood the screen. The DS just cant handle a lot of screen traffic at once. So in conclusion if youre looking for a side scrolling shooter to play with a friend look else-where. But if you want a challenging puzzle game to play with friends thats deguised as a side scrolling shooter by all means have at it. It seems to have a lot of ambitious ideas built into it. But ulitmately I think it's presents a very misleading picture of what the game really is. So I'd rent a few copies with friends before buying this cart.
