Ikuruga, anyone?

If you think you're truly hardcore, this game will put you back into your place as a pansy gamer.

Seriously, it's that difficult.  You will never play a top-down shooter this intense.  Me and my friend play it together before going to video game tourneys and the like because it trains us to be hardcore.

Its a bit of a rare, hard-to-find title, but if you have the chance to buy it, please do.

I got it when I was like 10 or so. Great game :D Only gone through the entire thing once, it was so darn hard x.x

I was lucky to find this gem, and I love EVERYTHING about it.

The gameplay was fun simple, yet challenging and intense, especially the Polarity element.  It's one of few games I can say I LOVE beyond compare despite how difficult it is to stay alive for the extent of a chapter.

Not to mention, it's got one of the best musical scores I've seen in a video game.

Amazing game.  Played it on the Dreamcast though.
