Yup. I'm shmup maniak and ss2 too. This game is one of the best shmups.

Another fine release.  I've been to the Taito building in Japan and while this game is quite hard as Kolya said, I saw guys hunched over an arcade machine with a screen the size of... I dunno a party size pizza box? (it's big) and there had to be hundreds of projectiles on the screen at any given time leaving only a couple of centimeters of bare space in any given area for you to fly your ship without insta-dying.  I shit you not, it was like looking at a colony of E-Coli under a microscope and these guys were zig-zagging these bullets like it was no big deal.
