The Wii finally gets a shoot 'em-up to be proud of with the latest and greatest action adventure from cult Japanese developer Treasure. Never mind about the plot, just enjoy the action as you take on waves of increasingly dangerous, and increasingly bizarre, enemies.
What makes the game a classic is the sheer variety of situations and enemies. The boss battles really push the envelope, from one that tries to flatten you with Tetris blocks to another that you end up being handcuffed to as you fight bare-fisted. If you're tired of identikit shooters this is one game you can guarantee will surprise you.
-Players can run on foot or take to the skies with a jetpack or hovering skateboard-like device to dodge enemy attacks or get a better lock on their targets

-The Wii Remote controller’s pointing ability is used to aim weapons, while the Nunchuk controller is used for positioning and manoeuvring
-Numerous settings include beautifully rendered cityscapes and dramatic underwater tunnels, all populated by fierce enemies
-It’s all about the multiplier. The better a player’s skills, the more points are earned, and the bigger the bonus
-Players will want to play the game again and again to beat their personal best on each level
-The better the performance, the bigger the multiplier and the higher the final score
