Tyrian 2000

It was FREE, & yet I feel gyped out'a the time I spent downloading, installing, & playing it... Controller response is terrible considering I'm using a monster gaming rig that's less then a year old, the graphics are bad, in any rez, AND the worst part is it's geared towards being "unfun", what do I mean by that? I mean the design of the ships size, speed, movement, & projectiles they shoot at You, coupled with Our' slow movement speed means You're gonna take hits, & feel cheated most'a the time it happens if You play A LOT of top scrolling games like this (as I have since they were the 1942's etc. in the arcades in the 80's)... You will watch Your' "shield" slowly be pecked away by CHEAP unavoidable hits, & if You're a fan of the genre, or just plain smart, You'll rage quit, & uninstall before Your' 1st death. There's about 1,000 better games in the genre, no doubt some are even on GOG too.

STOP BOTHERING ME WITH THIS!!!

stop asking to review every goddam game i've ever started

does this not work with windows 8 or something? i could download everything but the game

Tyrian 2000 looks good, controls well and gives the player plenty to go for and shoot at. But that's also it's problem - too much too plenty. You're going to be bypassing a lot of enemies because it takes too long to even destroy one. There are just shoot 'em up games before and after Tyrian that have done the genre better. Games like Raiden, R-Type, Gradius, Ikaruga and hell even Galaga have done a lot better than what Tyrian has accomplished. I guess it's because those games while they do demand your attention, they have enemies that can go down with one shot and that's just the staple. Tyrian 2000 tried to be something else and I commend it for that, but it's not that great of a shooter. Too slow, too plentiful and too boring.
