great packaging I actually already own the download version, but it's so cheap online now, that I picked it up just for the packaging, and the soundtrack. A great deal ! looks great on the shelf, and the soundtrack is awesome, and it's worth the piece of mind to actually own a physical copy. if you are like me, and don't trust downloads / hard drives ? then pick this one up

A decent shmup Soldner-X isn't really that great, but it does make time go by, the soundtrack and graphics are great and the game does work well even on low end computers.
and that's about it, it's as shmupy as a shmup can get.
nothing new here, except the chaining system,
which admittedly, is kinda cool.
the game does have some cool looking powerups,
but most of these, while looking cool, is rather underpowered, and you will find yourself switching to the standard gun instead.
for only 9 USD it's definitely worth it.

Very good Game Some little issues, like need 60Hz of refresh rate and v-sync to play, can't change the keyboard and gamepad options, only in-game registration with confusin inferface. But beautiful and challenging game with an surroundings soundtrack.
