Bullet Candy

I believe those in the scene call this type of game a Shmup (Shoot 'Em Up), unfortunately for me this doesn't change the fact that I'm utter crap at these type of games. I sometimes wonder how many time's a reviewer get's stuck at a certain stage of the game, becomes so frustrated finally decides to give the game a shit review. That being said Bullet Candy is a very well executed balance of the senses, good music, awesome graphics and a relaxed arcade feel.

A dual analog controller is pretty much a must, left stick for moving and right for aiming. Don't go crazy and try to play with an unrealistic resolution, you'll be doing yourself a massive injustice if you don't have a decent system.
