Rayforce is now out on the App store for iPhone and iPod users. It's the classic shoot 'em up you remember, but there are some new features like the obvious touch controls. Additionally, you can view the game in the original arcade aspect ration setting or play in the newly added full-screen zoomed mode. Plus there's the option between manual and automatic firing controls now.
The only downside is that Rayforce is going for $11.99. It's weird, that price would be normal if it was on XBLA or PSN. But on the iPhone? Perhaps I'm just spoiled by all the $0.99 games available on the App store.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

The game is not bad but if you're gonna spend 12 bucks on an iphone shmup, have it be a cave game, unless you have memories with this one. I don't think it's as good of a port as ESPgaluda 2, Bug Princess, DoDonpachi, Deathsmiles, etc., and not as strong a game.

sorry for the giant image
It isn't as hard as ikaruga but still one bad move can cost you everything , and the last boss is a straight up nightmare.
