Review TheNerdyGeek 4/5 · Sep 16, 2022
The game is fun and quite impressive for a Genesis game. The only downside is the difficulty. The game is way to difficult and the Final Stage is simply unfair - you have to beat all of the bosses which you had already beat throughout the game (12 bosses) plus the Dark Harrier, who is no walk in the park.

Took me awhile to get used to the controls (a few days).

I didn't Enjoy it as much as I should, I got burned out learning the controls and even after resting from the game for awhile, All I did was remember How Annoying learning to play this game was.
It's not all bad though, The difficulty gave me a good challenge and the weird graphical effect and stuff added to the challenge. I kinda like it but I didn't enjoy it.

Space Harrier II is on one end, an impressive achievement of taking a hit arcade game and porting an equivalent years later on a console system, the Genesis. What does it really do different, though?
Honestly, not much different. There's nothing particularly wrong with the game, but if you've played the first Space Harrier, you'll notice less stages, less visual …
Space Harrier II is on one end, an impressive achievement of taking a hit arcade game and porting an equivalent years later on a console system, the Genesis. What does it really do different, though?
Honestly, not much different. There's nothing particularly wrong with the game, but if you've played the first Space Harrier, you'll notice less stages, less visual quality, and pretty much the exact same thing in terms of gameplay. Some of the bosses are uniquely recognizable and cool, like the wyrm with a lady's head and the flying tiger that runs on the ground when you shoot off its wings.
In the end though, Space Harrier II remains solidly in the middle, without any new jumps on its own but a solid launch title for the Genesis.
