    Samurai Aces is a solid shmup that is sure to please fans of the genre. Personally, the game felt a bit too similar to previous title Gunbird - but then again, why fix what isn't broken? If you're after fast-paced, intense gameplay, look no further.

    Samurai Aces is a solid debut shmup from one of the most notable developers in the genre. It may be a bit too simplistic for some gamers' tastes but what's here does a good job of showcasing Psikyo's humble origins.

    Shoot'em up lovers will love this old-school game as well as lovers of eastern culture thanks to its constant references to Japan. Maybe it's not the best within its genre, but it's very entertaining and, above all, fun if you play co-op with a friend.
