Summary

It's a shooter, a techno trance video, and a reason to crank the volume up.

The Good

It's different. Groundbreaking on a top of the line platform. Reminds me of an old commodore 64 game called moondust. It's a visual and aural experience. It has cool references to network hacking as Tron did 20 years ago. And it's a Sega game.

The Bad

Hard to find. But other than that there are no complaints at all.

The Bottom Line

Start with a shooter. You lock on to multiple targets as in the classic Panzer Dragoon games. There is a hard driving techno beat in the BGM that is enhanced by your shooting. Your character evolves into stronger forms as you progress through the network. It is a bit strange and not for the platformer or sports game crowd.
