I've loved this game since I got it on Dreamcast, and on GameCube, and I play it at my local arcade. The point is it's amazing.
The ability to switch color in order to absorb some bullets and become susceptible to others really adds new depth to the genre and is applied brilliantly.
The gameplay is fun and quick and gets more challenging as you go.
Definitely recommended for anyone who loves the R-Type or space shooter games.

For a casual gamer like myself it's pretty hardcore. Had it on console back in the day. Seemed to remember it being easier than this. Anyway, read another more articulate reviewer who takes actual time and effort to explain the black and white polarity madness.

It's so much fun I cannot adequately put it in to words.

If you ever need to increase your blood pressure without the use of medications, simply play Ikaruga with three lives and no continues.
For the love of all that is good, no one make me a doctor.
