Nanostray Reviewed fo shizzle

I've heard many great things about this old style shooter and couldn't wait to get my hands on it myself. Well I finally did and let me say it definitely is reminiscent of games like Axelay. The Graphics are top notch for being on the Nintendo DS and the levels are challenging. The only problem I have is how they've implemented the touch screen feature which seems awkward to say the least. In order to change weapons you have to touch the screen, but this becomes difficult in the middle of all the action that occurs. It might have been better to assign this to a button and do away with the touch portion. But an option is to avoid using the stylus altogether and just tap with your finger, but that would leave your screen with prints in the end. This is minor but hopefully this issue has been resolved in Nanostray 2. I definitely recommend a purchase of this game if you really are into the space shooter genre that has the graphic and gameplay to boot.

Fun Shooter

As far as scrolling shooters go, this is one of the more fun ones I've played. The graphics look really good for the DS and it does have some challenging moments. I can't really comment on the co-op or multiplayer aspects of the game, but if you want a fun way to spend some time (and bring back some fond memories of scrolling arcade shooters) then get this game.

Okay

This game is basically a classic space shooter game with better effects. It's not incredibly fun IMO.

Awesome Shooter

Nanostray looks and feels like most shooters but it gets a bit more cramped as you must hug walls occasionally so you don't explode as big ships fly by you. Its a very nice addition for any shooter fans out there. Is it your typical R-Type game? Sure but the graphics are awesome along with being able to switch shot types on the fly instead of having to unlock new shots later on. Its a bit odd at first learning to switch weapons on the touch screen but like most shooters you have to memorize areas to beat them and it should come as no surprise that you must memorize the weapon selection screen also so you can switch weapons with only a tiny glance. It is fast paced like most shooters so just a flick of the button via a fingernail will do the trick.

If you love shooters this is a must own! It is also one of the few shooters for the DS so get it before it disappears!

Is it short? Of course, its a shooter! Fighters and Shooters are both a bit short but these games (unlike many new games) can be played over and over again and you can adjust the difficulty for more of a challenge. Shooters like this have always been fast and furious and frantically chaotic but most of all, Fun.

I recieved Nanostray today from amazon and have already beaten it. It is very short, I wish there were a few more levels to play. Graphically Nanostray is awesome, very impressive. The controls are decent however I wish they would have had a button utilized to select weapons as an alternative to only using the stylus. Posting your nanocodes online to be ranked amoung the other players throughout the world is pretty neat, but I don't think it will prolong the longevity of the title. Since it is able to be beaten within a few hours I think this diminshes the replay value substantially. Other than being terribly short the game is very enjoyable to play and I would recommend it to anyone who loves shooter style games such as this.

Nanostray is the best game I have ever played! When I first got the game, I thought I got the wrong game. I was the one who was wrong. This was the best game that I have ever played. I think this game is good because it has challenging levels. If you just started this game, I think the easiest planet is the Mitsurin Jungle.

Nanostray is a great game. Its fun addictive and easy to play. My only real complaint is that the campaign is to short, I beat it in a few hours. But the arcade mode is great, possibly better than the campaign. Its definatly worth buying.

a quick adrenaline rush!

This is the kind of game that you play if games like the original Starfox for the SNES appeal to you. Don't expect incredible depth, but rather, gaze at the awesome graphics and music while blasting a bunch of ammo at waves and waves of oncoming enemies. I love it. The only drawback is that the game is waay too short for the money- I would say a good three hours is enough to beat this game from the moment you pick it up if you are a seasoned gamer. With that said, I can never get sick of replaying this game because the graphics and superficial flashiness are kind of addictive to me. If you are expecting a hardcore shoot-em-up on the level of Ikaruga, you will definitely be disappointed.

A great vertical scroller

Definately a fun game, but the learning curve is rather steep. If you like vertical scroller games similar to Raiden or Raptor: Call of the Shadows, this game is atleast worth a try.
