Song Comments:
Ikaruga's Stage 1 music. It's nice how the intro fits with the introduction of the stage, picking up as you leave the tube and really start the game.

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.

PS: I want Death Smiles so badly *sob* Europe sucks.
