Is Danmaku Unlimited 2 a good Danmaku ? Yes !

Danmaku mean "Rain of bullets" in Japanese (or something like that), it's a "new" kind of Shoot 'm Up. You're very powerful generaly, and fast. But you've to deal with bullets, a lot of bullets, OMG bullets EVERYWHERE !

The game isn't easy (good point), musics are delicious and goes very well with the action (very good). Graphics aren't very beautiful, but clear and I like the color pallet (good point as well).

You can choose two game modes (burst and classic), you can buy some upgrades for your ship or lives/credit. I don't like that much upgrades in Shmups, IMHO those kind of games may be played with only 1 credit and without starting with bonus : the game will be more more more fun :-) But I can ignore this step, so watever.

Burst mode bring a beam (button 2) and the Trance mode (button 3). When activated the beam can "broke" bullets, you're safe using this. The Trance mode make you powerful.
Classic mode bring an alternate shoot (button 2) and The Trance mode as well (button 3). No beam in Classic mode, but the Trance is better : more powerful and safe (small bullets disapear when activated).
I personnaly choose the Classic mode. The Trance mode is safe and the alternate shoot make you slower, so you can use it to slalom between waves of bullets.

Note that you can rotate the display, to put your screen vertically. Very useful !
