looks awsome!
Where's our shooter expert to tell us his thoughts?
Shouldn't this have been released as Mega Force? The only American version released as Star Force was the NES version, AFAIK.
/me confused
Not that I'm complaining.
It says 1 player but on the wii it says 1-2 player? is it a mistake?
@ tkubas1: We only list games as 2-player if you can play with 2 players simultaneously. If you just alternate turns it's hardly multiplayer in our eyes.
Ahh I don't like alternateing! Why not co-op?
Never played this one. May get this in time. (Too meny things I want right now)
I thought it looked great, but the review got to me. I guess no download.
cool
If your into old arcade shooters like Xevious or whatever, this game is a must own. I personally think this game is great, i find my self going back to it over some of the more epic of shooters in my collection. It has power ups that are pretty rad for 1984, every time i got the one that makes your guns stronger and changes up the music i couldn't help but feel the energy. the graphics and soundtrack are great, the game posses the charm that is essential to making those mid-80s arcade games still playable to this day. If your are a shooter fan whos not into old stuff like Galaga stear clear, but like i said, this is a must own for the arcade aficionado.
