Tyrian 2000

Anyone else with Tyrian ink? Early concept, but I like to think I have the best tyrian tattoo ever. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/brianj135/media/0724121831.jpg.html?o=2

DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review, if you want a full review, then please read better reviews then mine This is a great space shooter. Can be a bit complicated at first, but it really gets interesting after a while. The soundtrack is beautiful and the amount of weapons and hidden items makes this a worth while free game! RECOMMENDED :)

The nostalgia goggles are often strapped on a little bit too tight on these reviews... Albeit a unique classic (and free), it's just not that good compared to others in the genre released around the same time. Enemy flight patterns are clunky and unsatisfying to dodge or blow through. You can't actually utilize all the space given on screen, so a simple dodge maneuver will end with you hugging an invisible wall and taking a life ending laser blast. The audio is not only limited, but feels incomplete. Some shortcomings are relieved by good role-playing elements and a neat classic scifi aesthetic. I don't get the high praise this game gets, maybe I'd have to be a dinosaur to understand.

Positives : old skool scrolling shooter interesting voice over work , or is it a computer voice ? great bosses fast paced negatives: Poor graphics for its time 4/10 stars
