I respect the bejesus out of Ikaruga, but after playing it for around 10 hours I'm not sure I think it's actually any fun. It's the video game equivalent of a fussy Michelin-star meal: impeccably designed and presented, a feast for the senses, so thrillingly complex that you know you'll be thinking about it days, months, or even years from now ..... but you might be pulling into McDonald's on the way home.
