The demo of this game was appealing enough, but after seing the drop in price this title was a must have. The levels are challenging enough even at the easy setting to allow decent gameplay. Although some scenarios will seem difficult to tackle each Sinistar has a weakness that you must find if you are to be successful. After you are killed the game will give hints in the form of short blurbs on the game over screen, heed these warnings because if properly interpreted it will give away clues to help you defeat the level that is giving you difficulty. The visuals are stunning, the fact that you can identify objects at a distant allow you to adjust fire and strategy accordingly. The enemies are numerous and intelligent, they take evasive action when necessary and will go for the closest crystals to the gate to speed the process of unleashing the Sinistar. Sinibombs seem to be the weapon of choice since they can destroy the crystals already in place keeping the sinistar locked away and you safe from a serious hammering. There are ship upgrades for greater weapons capacity , speed and firepower, a department store worth of weapons and specials to appease all appetites for destruction and a decent soundtrack "to boot". A nice twist is if you destroy the gate, the level ends and you aree progressed. There are bonus levels throughout the game some are very difficult and others require thinking to get past the defenses. They range from ecort duty to assault on enemy base stations. The variety provided by this game and the visual and audio worlds will definitely impress especially at this price. I am finding it hard to put down especially with the environmental audio it sound like you are playing in a void as it should. This one is definitely a keeper.
