    Cave spit on 8ing legacy
    Cave disrespect 8ing legacy.
    Because Garegga was no nonsense.
    this game is anme hentai character game.
    It is nonsense.

    However, it is Cave game now. Cave is not so bad.

    No comparison to Garegga
    Garegga is a classic, this one is just a tribute game.
    But it is not a worthy tribute to Garegga.
    Because there is anime characters and a rosy color
    scheme, it cannot be compared to Garegga. Garegga was gritty, serious and there is no nonsense involved. It is comparable to Joel Schumacher Batman (Ibara) vs Christopher Nolan Batman (Garegga).

    On its own, it is decent shooting game. There was never following in arcades for Ibara. In fact, most people didn't like it because it did not live up to Garegga standard of excellence. Battle Garegga was king of arcade shooting, dominating for more than one year. Only when Saturn version was released, did popularity slow down in the arcades.

    Sound FX is not as good as Garegga, and music in Garegga is classic and fast paced. But Ibara tried different style of music. It was rock music and not as memorable.

    Garegga is faster than Ibara, you can also change position of the mini ships which made gameplay more interesting and designs were better. But Ibara took away this feature to dismay of Garegga fans. Garegga wins against tribute game Ibara. If Raizing would release Garegga on PS2, then new generation of gamers can experience true perfection in shooting games. Garegga to this date is the only perfect shooter. Dodonpachi and Espgaluda almost challenged it. But never did arcade shooter become better than Garegga. Point system is excellence. Debate is over.

    This is one tough shoot em up, but its design and execution is flawless. A joy from start to finish (if you get there). Overall 8/10. Defo add it to your collection.
