I'm no expert in twin stick shooters, but I love the visuals of this series. I tend to regard them as like the video game equivalent of a fireworks show. I put more playtime into the original XBLA version of this game at a friend's house like almost 20 years ago, but this is exactly that.

A lot of my high school was me trying to break past a million points in this game. When I finally nailed it that adrenaline dump was insane back when achievement hunting was huge. I came back to it after all these years and it still is a perfect game. I played the sequels but this is really the only one you need. There is a patch to play this on modern win 11 systems.

Old game from OG xbox...maybe 360, still kicks ass... has strange issues on PC with newer hardware though... sometimes lags like crazy... goes from avg 120fps (vsynced) to 15.... Core mechanic kicks ass though
