Yo yo! Haven't heard from you in a while. Was on the list for a few months this year, then promptly got off... I guess you've been off for a while now?
Ikaruga is a pretty different feel from RS, despite sharing many ideas of game play. Mostly, it's the rhythm in Ikaruga being so much faster, with more stuff happening. RS is pretty slow and methodical, even in its most hectic parts. Ikaruga address a problem with may of RS's naysayers...that it's far too easy... which it is if you aren't going for chains. In Ikaruga, even if you have no regard for chains, it's still a decently challenging game.
I think RS is worth the 200 bucks it can fetch...if only for some of the best damn music EVER. :D Sakimoto is truly a great composer. Great themes, great thematic workmanship...

Hey Sklat. Long time no see (I'd email you but your page says it's down).
Yes, all the Ikaruga movies rule and all, but my main concern is whether it... plays well, considering the last shooter I bought was Life Force (and I have no chance in hell of getting Radiant Silvergun for a decent price). I'm kind of looking at Ikaruga as the next best thing, as every time I watch the movies I always think 'it's Radiant Silvergun' (go figure, though).

And it's not that complicated. You want to get like colors in groups of three. (white-white-white, dark-dark-dark, dark-dark-dark, etc. will give you maximum points...) In white mode, you absorb white shots to build up your missile attack. And you can guess what happens in dark mode. :) Also if you're in white mode and kill a white enemy, the enemy blows up an spews white shots for you to absorb. Same if you're dark and kill a dark enemy.
And that is the complete game play system. :) Hooray for simplicity!
Yes, one (last?) hurrah for the DC! ^_^
And in Ikaruga, there are *no* powerups for you, neither is there any "bomb".
Single tap = single fast shot
Hold down fire button = twin vulcan
Absorb enough shots of the same colour or enemy fragments to charge up your homing laser of death. Simple and nice game, love it :)

SHEEY AY DEE A DOO DAH
Can someone tell me like a comparison from ship design from the old one to the new one?
They look similiar but...
Like a jpeg to jpeg ship design would be sweet...
One thing i liked about the original RS is that almost every time there was something new..Like did anyone see that cinema where it showed how that other ship died the yellow one? I only saw it once and never saw it again. Plus the dogmaster, plus the music...
