When I first started this game up, I thought, wow, this is great! The graphics are very smooth and fast. The sound is good, as you will just hear the constant rumble of your gun shooting off. The action was relentless! If you didn't keep shooting, you would likely die very quickly. The enemies are fast and there are a lot of them. Luckily, you have infinite ammunition, so you can always continue your assult. Powerups abound, but I wish that it was easier to tell which powerup was which, as when you have homing missles, you really don't want to give them up for something worse. The controls are top notch, but it is a little tough to turn in the overhead level with the L and R buttons when you have tons of enemies surrounding you. Overall, this is one of the best games on the snes, so if you see it in a store, I recommend that you pick it up. Just note that this game is not easy. It is action that just doesn't let off.
