It runs pretty well here, played it for a bit. I didn't fund it very much fun, though. After a while of seeing realistic 3d backgrounds scrolling by, which I could not really look at because you have to focus on the action/bullets, I wondered why they bothered having 3D backgrounds at all - it could have had the same impact with 2D. The only difference seemed to be the slight squeezing/expanding of the graphics as they move up the screen. Nice to see some 3D stuff elsewhere, though. I didn't enjoy it that much I think partly because it's hard to see what's going on. I did like the power-up options though. Sometimes I think if a game takes itself too seriously it stops being so enjoyable. I think this game is somewhat serious focussed.
