Great game, epic music

Brilliant gameplay, no installation required. Box set is really nice to look at. The limited edition even comes with a numbered certificate!

While the price is now a lot higher than it was when I bought it, I still think it is worth the money if you're into this kind of game.

Best side scrolling shooter

- Limited edition :)

go buy it

Actually limited edition box looks much better in reality then in photos. Game itself is really good shoot em up, while there is nothing extrordinary about the mechanics or graphics, gameplay and music really stands out and for this low price its pretty much must buy.
