I was so close to being suckered in by this. But I know fine rightly that the same thing that has happened in every other shmup I've ever purchased. I'll never complete the thing. They're just too bloody hard.

Not too bad actually. they had a Jet machine in my hotel in vegas last month and I managed to stay on quite a while on 1 credit and I no pro.
Tried a couple of raiden fighters machines over there. They dish out extra lifes quite readily in the early stages.

So looking forward to it! Nearly convinced my girlfriend to order me a jap/usa Xbox while I was over there so I could get this game and others like it. Glad i didn't now. £16 is better than the £100's I was ready to spend after spending the day in gameworks.

They vary massively in difficulty though.
