A must-have for shooter enthusiasts, as its presentation is killer and its challenge heavy enough to drop you to your knees.

In everything but gameplay, this game is basically standard fare.

This vertical-scrolling shoot-'em-up tries to follow in the footsteps of genre classics like Ikaruga and Raiden, putting its own interesting-but-flawed spin on some aspects of the you-against-the-universe formula.

Despite its nonstop action and requisite techno soundtrack, Chaos Field never ascends to the level of a shooter classic, like GameCube's beautiful "Ikaruga." It's all about finding a sweet spot and plugging away.

The hit detection is more of a miss, the presentation is far below the standards set by so many of the game's contemporaries, and even the Chaos/Order gimmick could have been fleshed out and utilized far more than what the gameplay offers.

If you are a diehard shooter fanatic obsessed with breaking high score lists Chaos Field will provide a relatively large playground for you to do your thing. The lack of two-player mode or online ranking simply seals the deal, proving once and for all that Chaos Field is simply outgunned as an arcade port.

It's like fighting a fireworks display. Sometimes the enemy blows up. Sometimes you do. There's no strategy; no hook that makes you think about how you'll do better next time. [Feb 2006, p.99]
