Premise: | Sequel to one of the most popular side-scroll shooters to hit the arcades. The Darius team investigates an SOS from a mysterious solar system and wind up battling an old enemy. Ported from the arcade game. |
Impressions: | This is one of the best R-Type clones ever made, and the only version available for the Genesis. The graphics are a bit grainy and dated, but gameplay is frantic even when two are sharing the fun. A simple yet addictive game, and a must for shooter fans. |
