Video Game Reviews of Strider 2

Customer Review: One of THE best games for the Playstation!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one game that I can play over and over and not get tired of. The action is fast and furious. The controls are spot-on. This is how a video game should be made. The graphics is not the greatest but, hey, this is a 32-bit game. If you are a fan of arcade games, then you MUST get this one. I'm glad that I got it. This is game is short compared to other games but you can play it over and over. Also, you get the first Strider! My hat's off to Capcom for coming out with this one with a bonus game. This game must be rare because I had a hard time finding a copy that suited my collector's standards. Too bad they don't have this game on a next-generation console because I consider this one of Capcom's greatest games. So if you own a Playstation One, you owe it to yourself to get one.

Description of Strider 2

Strider first slashed his way into American homes in the '80s, with his self-titled release for the classic NES. After a subsequent appearance on the Genesis, Strider Hiryu disappeared from game consoles--until now. Strider is back in a truly old-school action game that will please fans of 2-D classics.

Upon first play, Strider 2 may seem like a mindless slashorama, with enemies coming at players from all sides. But there's more to Strider than brainless brutality. Hiryu can also jump, double jump, kick off of walls, slide, and cling to almost everything, which makes it possible to avoid most foes, with practice.

For better or worse, Capcom makes it easy for players to blow through this game by way of unlimited continues that let Strider start from the very point where he died. Luckily, players are graded at the end of each level, giving at least some incentive to perform well. --Robb Guido

Pros:

  • Vivid graphics and huge bosses
  • Old-school action that requires players to learn the movements of enemies
Cons:
  • Players can essentially cheat their way through the game because of unlimited continues
