The Unknown Shooter

To tell you the truth, I have never heard of this game until I saw it in the Video Game store about two years ago and decided that I should pick it up for myself. I was surprised to find out it was a side scrolling and over head shooter (like Life Force). And it was a fun shooter to boot.

Like most other shooters, the game can get rather challenging...but there are really no excessively cheep parts in the game. Like most other NES games, the Boss's and smaller enemies are extremely predictable. Its kind of nice though in some cases...but... yeah. The game its self is challenging and can be frustrating… its one hit kill like in other shooters.

The graphics are actually pretty good (based off of the Nintendo and other games for it). There are really no glitches in the background, and the sprites are full of color and drawn rather well.

There wasn’t much in terms of sound design, the songs weren’t very catchy. In fact... I can’t even recall what one of them sounds like at the moment. I guess that’s to be expected in most Milton Bradley games.

Because most people don’t know about this game, it’s relatively inexpensive. I highly recommend it if you like shooters and still have a NES that you can play it on. Its a must have game for those collecting great NES titles.
