Fra i morgen kl. 10 dansk tid vil du kunne forsøge dig emd Atari & Treasures “remake” af arcade-spillet Ikaruga på din Xbox 360. Der er tale om (endnu) en scroller som kun bruger en tredjedel af skærmpladsen. Spillet er mest er kendt af hardcore japanske gamere. Ikaruga giver dig dog mulighed for at spille co-op både lokalt, men også via Xbox Live. Skulle du få lidt til mere end hvad trial-udgaven giver dig, koster spillet 800 MS Point (kr. 72), hvilket efter min mening er lige i overkanten.
LONDON – Monday 7th April, 2008 – The Japanese arcade hit “Ikaruga” receives the full Xbox LIVE Arcade treatment and is poised to launch on the platform this Wednesday, April 9, 2008 at 9:00 a.m.
“Ikaruga” is a fast-paced scrolling shooter with a twist – players must constantly switch their ship’s polarity to maximize their damage output and avoid incoming enemy fire of the opposite polarity.
The Xbox LIVE Arcade version features a two-player co-op mode both locally and over Xbox LIVE. Newcomers can also easily bring their skill up to speed by using the game’s slow motion training mode.
The game is a perfect combination of beautiful, manga-style storytelling and challenging arcade heroics, all brought to life in a gorgeous HD environment.
Gamers itching to obtain a moment of “Ikaruga” glory will be wise to master the chaining system that detects when enemies of the same polarity are destroyed consecutively. Doing so will reward players with huge score bonuses, which will be key to topping “Ikaruga’s” leaderboards.
The ability to relive a particularly harrowing battle is also possible thanks to the game’s record and replay function, which is new to the Xbox LIVE Arcade version of the game.
From the Japanese developer Treasure, “Ikaruga” will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.
