What is wrong with the world? Treasure, the undisputed masters of 2D, spend three years developing an enhanced remake of one of their very best shoot-'em-ups, and nobody's talking about it. It's next to impossible to find in the shops. It's on a format most people have consigned to the dustiest shelf in the spare room.You've got to ask yourself - am I any kind of gamer at all? Because if you are, then it's your duty not to let this beautifully crafted labour of love slip into obscurity.
It's a spectacular blast through levels that rarely take more than a couple of minutes each. One moment you'll be jumping and shooting in a traditional platform style; the next, you'll be standing on a spaceship, picking off missiles in a 3D flight sort of thing; or piloting a helicopter; or trying to kick a giant teddy bear under the wheels of a van...
Every level is completely different, and packed with more humour and imagination than you'll find in the entire Top 10 games chart at any given time. If that's important to you - and it ought to be - then break out your GBA (or DS) and enjoy the greatest, most hardcore handheld shooter ever devised.
