[Top 100 Modern VGTunes] #039 - Ikaruga - Faith
Consoles: Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox 360
Developer: Treasure
Original Release: 2002
Song Comments:
And the third tune from Ikaruga. Nothing groundbreaking when you know the other two, but this was put on the list at the time when I wanted to make this a Top 150 or even Top 200. Putting three Ikaruga tunes was a no-brainer back then, but with a Top 100, I think I should have settled without Spirit Being.
Game Comments:
This is my favorite 2D shooter of all time. Back in the day, I pwned this game. I could 1cc easy mode consistently (and that's all I ever bothered with because I hate suicide bullets) and was mighty proud of myself - until I found out that my Dreamcast booted it in 50 hertz, slowing the game's speed down by 18% and severely lowering the difficulty. Though now that I think about, I'll probably get the XBLA remake soon, since sh'mups are surprisingly playable with the 360 pad.
