Toronto Thumbs: Big Bang Mini Review

Toronto Thumbs writes: "Considering that the shmup has been in existence for as long as we've been clutching controllers in our sweaty hands, it's a less than ideal genre to tackle if your goal is to reinvent the wheel – FACT: I often dunk my hands in icy water before playing a shmup. Small innovations such as chaining, path variations, and scratching offer new possibilities, but most titles are left attempting new realms of bullet hell or bizarre designs to stand apart from a long list of games that seem to have every angle covered. If you happen to be a cup-is-half-empty type of person, there's also the likelihood that Treasure or Cave will always manage to do it better anyway."
