Crisis Force is an excellent piece
of work on the Famicom! It has an incredible amount of frenzied
gameplay that originally made it's Gradius series so popular in
Japan. In fact, Gradius for the Famicom originally sold over 1 million
units in Japan! The game offers 2-player simultaneous play, and
the ability to switch among three different ships at and time during
play! A real treasure for any Nintendo Family Computer Owner!
Story:
It seems as though the dreaded "Death-Arm", as I like to call it,
has found a new owner and is ready to ravage the entire planet!
Mankind's only hope lies with a male and female duo of pilots. Blast
off as you fight against hordes of bio-monsters high in the sky!
Graphics:
The graphics in Crisis Force are excellent! there are cool effects
including multi-tierdness, flashing colors, many enemies on screen
at once, and even great parallax, once only seen this prominent
in the Sega MegaDrive shooter, MUSHA Aleste. I give the Graphics
an 8 out of 10
Sound:
Nice BGM! Very fast-paced with great drums! The sound effects are
cool as well, and definitely worth mentioning for the fading sounds
that are frequently heard during the game. VERY similar to the music
in Contra Spirits for Super Famicom. I just cant stop thinking that
it has that Crisis-esque, cybernetic, "Let's attack agre ssively"
kinda feel to it, if you know what I mean. 9 out of 10
Gameplay:
Awesome! The 2-player mode is FRENZIED! Plus, the game has more
than one difficulty mode. *AHEM! For this review, I completed the
HARD mode of the game. *HACK *COUGH... 10 out of 10
