		Addicted 2 video games (NGC) (27 Trusters)	9	7/10/2004
This is a game that probably wont get the recognition it deserves. But this is a great shooter and shouldnt be overlooked. By folks at all. It is a bit difficult and might not appeal or hold interest to some. But keep playing... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		{XğP} Odds (65 Trusters)	9	2/7/2004
On the surface Ikaruga looks like a traditional top-up shooter with flashy graphics and environments. Luckily, what it really is and what it appears to be at first look are two entirely different creatures. Developer Treasure has managed to... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		blackjaw (111 Trusters)	9	9/18/2003
Sad to see a game like this and realize how crappy recent games have gotten. This game brings back the beauty and difficulty of games of the past. To say this is a videogame isnt good enough, its a work of art. The game is so... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Uncle Thursdæ® (Sabbat) (33 Trusters)	9	4/20/2003
Hey, you. Yeah, you. The one who calls himself a hardcore gamer. You're not hardcore. You don't know the first thing about being hardcore. What's that? You can beat Halo on Legendary without ever dying, or needing to... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		>>Nealok (13 Trusters)	9	10/29/2003
Let's get this straight right now. Viewtiful Joe is not hard. F-Zero GX's sweet little expert mode is not hard. Diablo II in hardcore mode is not hard. Ladies and gentlemen, Ikaruga is hard. Ikaruga, orginally released for the... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Harold Kimball	10	12/6/2004
Simply put this game is freaking hard, and there is no telling how this game is going to drive you insane but it will. This game is beautiful from the start and has some what of a story line but its very vauge from what I can piece... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Justin Delahan	10	8/6/2004
The best way to sum up Ikaruga is: THis is the best shooter ever created. Yes, it truly is. Read on, non believers, and learn why you must own this game. Now, when I said this is the best shooter ever, I of course mean in its genre. ... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		The Avatar (4 Trusters)	--	7/23/2004
This game is 2D oldschool sidescrolling shooter. It brings some new play mechanics that are fresh but not revolutionary. Only if you like shooting games or challenging games should you buy this game, otherwise rent to see if it suits your... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		(NGC) Vinny (82 Trusters)	8	5/23/2004
OVERALL: 8.4 Gameplay: 9 Replay: 5 Graphics: 9 Sound: 8 Gameplay is what makes this game feel so old school. You move around, shooting your opponents while try to get power ups, like in traditional 2D... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		(ngc) darnassus pook (75 Trusters)	7	3/17/2004
Overall score on pook's 100-point system (TM): 65, or just 7 A good game, a remnant of times past, but definitely not for everyone. Points normally given for story have been added to Gameplay. Graphics (20/30): For what it is, Ikaruga... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		The Vic Viper	9	2/8/2004
Gameplay - 8.5/10 - Simple and yet complex at the same time Controls - 9/10 - Very simple, and works with the GC controller Difficulty - Average difficultly to simply complete, but mastering the game is near impossible Story -... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		JoeYa [A4] (32 Trusters)	9	2/4/2004
One of the games that makes me wish I have a Gamecube. Seemingly simplistic in design, but executed so beautifully that you can't help but feel excited. It's old-school mixed with today's technology; it's a traditional shooter but with a very... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		(Ngc) Odali-V!P-ER (61 Trusters)	9	1/30/2004
OVERALL: 85% Difficulty: Very Hard! An old school space shooter published by Atari and developed by now Nintendo exclusive developers Treasure, Ikaruga wa originally on the DreamCast and now imported exclusively to the GC allowing GC... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Viewtiful Guitar (45 Trusters)	10	1/18/2004
NOTE: This game is not for the impatient!!! That's right, because this game is extremely tough. I've been playing games for a long time now, and Ikaruga is definitely one of the hardest I've ever played. To most people, that would... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		guy some	8	12/24/2003
The game is all about the score. There are no powerups, no super weapons, no drones etc. Essentially, all the game elements that made those old shooters fun are missing. The graphics are somewhat above average and there... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Matthew Oakley	--	11/3/2003
Ikaruga is amazing. The two most important points to touch on are: 1- It's easily the most skill-based game I've ever played. If you've got skill, you'll do well. If you don't, you won't. But the game is never unfair. 2- It... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Stecman (51 Trusters)	8	9/9/2003
Well, for starters, I like the game. It's probably the best top-view shooter out there, but I still have a few beefs for it. First, the things that I like. The graphics are great. I love the new idea of 'swallowing'... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		John Neal (1 Trusters)	10	8/12/2003
What can I say about this game? Ok, well first of all it's the absolute most perfect game ever made. No game has ever reached the heights of perfection that this game has, and unless Treasure is able to properly follow Ikaruga up, no game will. ... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		zeb (23 Trusters)	8	7/31/2003
Ikaruga is a traditional 2-D shooter, the kind of games that were abundant in number during the NES and SNES eras. Ikaruga inherits the flaws of the games of this long-dead genre but it manages to add many fresh new aspects to it as... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		NikeXTC (3 Trusters)	9	7/16/2003
I gave this game a 9. A true test of skills and a chromatic explosion. This is Ikaruga, an old-style shooter that makes of the graphics its first weapon to beat the player. Graphics play a very important role in this game, and I... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Brandon Johnson (1 Trusters)	8	7/14/2003
I was skeptical about getting Ikaruga at first. It was the first verticle shooter for the Gamecube, and I was uncertain about what I was going to experience. I did get the game, and was not at all disappointed. Ikaruga is unique from... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Vampire Hunter D (4 Trusters)	7	7/13/2003
A shooter fans dream? Perhaps. To me though, the game is fun, but a bit on the overly difficult side with almost no encouragment to do better. The game is short, but the amazing difficulty will make it seem long as it will take a good while to... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Marvel (2 Trusters)	9	6/30/2003
This game is pretty cool. When you first play it it locks you in it's gameplay. It;s so inventive, the changing colors thing. Where if an enemy shots a black colored bullet at you, you can press a simple button and turn that color so the bullet... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		kebagolo	8	6/27/2003
I gave this game an 8 because of it's originality and gameplay. It's fun factor for me would be a 6. I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped because I guess I don't enjoy playing the same levels over and over anymore. You have to enjoy... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Greg Head (2 Trusters)	8	6/23/2003
If you've ever played a 2d space shooter and enjoyed it, chances are that you will not regret buying Ikaruga. Gameplay(9-): Simple in it's compexity, Ikaruga revolves around the control pad and three buttons. One button makes you... [ Read The Full Review... ]
