OVERALL RATING: 9.5
This is a great shooter and it would recieve a 10, but I'm afraid I don't get quite as enthusiatic over shooters. It is worth a 10, but I will let everyone decide that for themselves...
STORY: 9
Good idea for story, you actually attack Earth!!! Earth and the Moon are at war, you pilot a strange new fighter which causes great fear among the enemy forces, but you do it alone...
GRAPHICS: 10
The graphics are really excellent - although it is not a true 3D - it gives you the feel very well. They can compare very closely to THUNDERFORCE V for Saturn... some have compared it to Raystorm, but I feel that is a little inaccurate. It takes some of TF 5's boss ideas with the alternating perspective, large multilayered bosses who just don't want to die. The backgrounds are 2D with 3D objects much like TF 5 also. The intro is actually a bit grittier than I expected, not bad, but it surprised me how blurred it really looked, much like some of the better Saturn stuff (cause of the slight lack of FMV power).
WEAPONS: 9.5
The idea of stealing weapons from enemy ships is great - able to rotate weapons (with certain ships) and adjust their postion - this game offers many nice ship mobility and weapon options...
MUSIC: 10
Really cool!!!
Really cool game - I have a lot of shooters and hardly finish any of them, do to lack of skill, I tend to tire of trying - it certainly isn't as hard as THUNDERFORCE V, so the usual player can probably beat it.
