A shoot'em up for everyone: simple with the red ship, hard with the blue one. It is based on repetition but also in surprising the player continuously.
Metal Torrent does include a torrential downpour of bullets, but not of content. It works as a simple shooter for high score chasers.

A rather brilliant lost hidden gem made by Nintendo.
Score attack action has never been this amazing.
Evidently they brought their A-game for the music, it's just as wonderful as you'd expect.
They really knew what they were doing when they made this! It's 5 bucks well spent!

Brief, ill conceived and convoluted. DSiWare remains barren for shooter fans. [July 2010, p.93]
Metal Torrent has the makings of a fantastic space shooter, but is severely let down by a lack of content.
Really, there's not much here, and for 500 points I can think of plenty of better examples.
The best thing that I can say about Metal Torrent is that it's a great space shooter with a huge bite taken out of the middle.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of shmups you can play for free on the Internet. Practically all of them are better than Metal Torrent.
Summary [DSiWare] Prepare for a high level of intensity as you pilot a solo ship deep into enemy space in this vertically scrolling shooter. Battle wave after wave of relentless attackers aiming to do one thing - destroy you! Your goal, beyond mere survival, is simple: Get the highest score possible and earn bragging rights in online leaderboar...
