TYRIAN 2000 is one of very few Top-Down 'Plane' games I have ever played. It is also the best one I have played. It's not as difficult as I would've thought i to be, and graphics/artwork really do look good for the game's time. I was also pleasantly surprised by the rather in-depth story. Collecting cubes could reveal a lot about locations, people, and events in the game's universe. The ability to customize your ship with gadgets and weapons is also a neat feature not seen in many other games like this. The two player mods are also pretty cool and can add a lot of fun to the game. If your into classic top-down shooters, Tyrian 2000 is a must with its clean visuals, fast gameplay, and the catchy soundtrack.
