I must admit, I was a bit surprised Capcom didn't milk the Strider name a bit more. Even if it didn't take off as well as hoped, it was still a big name. Most of the 'sequels' are of a very mixed quality in my experience.<br /><br />JD - prior to playing it for this review, I had expected to give it a 7/10 but it just annoyed me too much :( It has some great ideas and a lot of promise but I think its design lets it down...

Thus, they should be looked out as totally separate entities that happen to feature the same character with a big sword. Strider was supposed to be a big property for Capcom, but never took really off for whatever reason.<br /><br />I mostly agree with this review, by the way. Strider's biggest flaw, in my opinion, is that the first stage really is the high point of the game... and while it doesn't go drastically downhill, it still feels more than a little bit frontloaded.mercatfathttp://www.deathofanalog.org/n64thstreetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-47704826989604269652012-08-22T19:51:58.456+01:002012-08-22T19:51:58.456+01:00Believe it or not, in my opinion the Mega Drive ga...Believe it or not, in my opinion the Mega Drive game is superior to the arcade version.<br />The only real fault it has, actually, is that it's too short.

I played it for the NES a million years ago, and I liked it quite a bit, though I believe it was quite a different animal there - more of an adventure game and less of an arcade style one - sort of like how Bionic Commando made the transition from arcade to NES and found greater popularity after the transition (and ironically enough, also a Capcom title)Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-44525168628516814732012-08-21T23:28:32.454+01:002012-08-21T23:28:32.454+01:00You should, yes.

It's a bit easy in that it gives you infinite continues, and you respawn at the exact place where you died, but if you set your own limits on yourself you can get a lot of fun out of it.<br /><br />Also, as a bonus/non-bonus, you get an extra disc with it which contains the first Strider game.TwoHeadedBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946450138433182058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-37202541526979181592012-08-21T22:31:20.849+01:002012-08-21T22:31:20.849+01:00Haha, cheers!
