It's a simple and straightforward vertical shmup, but it's a fun one. You choose one of eight characters (some of which are hilariously bizarre), hop into a jet, and start shooting down the million enemy vehicles planning to take over the world (I assume). The graphics are solid, though admittedly a bit muted and samey for its general color schemes. …
It's a simple and straightforward vertical shmup, but it's a fun one. You choose one of eight characters (some of which are hilariously bizarre), hop into a jet, and start shooting down the million enemy vehicles planning to take over the world (I assume). The graphics are solid, though admittedly a bit muted and samey for its general color schemes. Each character has a somewhat unique attack pattern and weapon upgrades, which I appreciate. But while actually playing the game, you'll be restricted to that jet's single bullet and bomb type the whole time. Like most shmups this game is challenging, especially for the final level when you have to restart the whole stage if you lose all your (single-hit) lives. The inclusion of two-player co-op play is highly appreciated.
The highlight of the game? The goofy characters and their amusing dialogue between stages. I especially like how the characters will have conversations specific to who they're paired up with in two-player co-op mode. My favorites are the punk rocker and the dolphin. (Yes, there's a dolphin pilot.)
