Vertical scrolling shooter Shikigami returns with a vengeance as players are rewarded for dicing with death in the onscreen insanity. Ten characters with unique power ups add to the variety and beat back any criticism of previous incarnations like a barrage of shots being flicked away. Plus its possible to change character mid stage to ensure the abilities of each fighter are put to the full use. It may just be better to go for the two player co-operative mode though. Keeps the player characters on screen in place of ships adding to the interest in choosing a player and keeps the magic of the Shikigami legend moving.
