The legendary Japanese arcade title blasts its way onto the GameCube in one of the most intense and stunningly beautiful shooters ever! As Shinra, the only survivor of a massacred freedom federation, you must battle the corrupt Tenro Horai with your new and powerful ship, Ikaruga. Fight your way through a fierce firestorm of enemies through 18 stages in single-player or two-player co-op mode. This side-scrolling (either horizontal or vertical) space adventure perfectly combines heroic, 2D fighter-pilot action with gorgeous, 3D environments and manga-style Japanese animation and storytelling.
