Ikaruga on hard

I normally play shooters on hard but Ikaruga on hard difficulty seems like a total perversion of the game system, its just not as good, not just harder. Same goes for easy which I looked at out of curiousity.

Anyone prefer Ikaruga on hard?

It seemed at first as if EASY was the only way I was going to beat it. Eventually I beat it on Normal. Easy was still a good time, but not the true experience.

You're right in saying they're perverting the experience; it really isnt the same game on Hard. I like staring into the ark of the covenant. I dont even bother, unless I want a good laugh out of my friends.
