Genesis

M.U.S.H.A.

Unlike other shooters where you see the same enemies over and over again, MUSHA seems to have an inexhaustible supply of new targets. Many of the bosses are huge faces grafted into high-tech machinery, and they look wild. The scenery is also commendable. The first stage has traditional Japanese temples moving on a network of rails over the ocean below - very original. Another stage features a floor that drops out, revealing a gaping chasm below. Scaling is used to good effect in several parts of the game - very impressive for 1990. The music is highly regarded by some, but I thought it was about average. Overall, if you're a serious shooter fan, you owe it to yourself to track down a copy of this engrossing game.

MUSHA is a pretty old game now and is very rare and hard to find. Be sure to look everywhere for a copy, especially if you love shooters. It's a must own title and it is mandatory to include this in your library! Don't except any substitutes and don't let anyone bar your path to obtain this title. Buy as soon as you find it somewhere.

Ohne Zweifel einer der besten Shooter die es für das Megadrive gibt! Der Soundtrack ist so packend, daß man ihn am liebsten auf CD haben würde. Die vielen unterschiedlichen Waffen bieten zig Möglichkeiten sich gegen die Gegener zur wehr zu setzen. Ein Meilenstein unter den Shootern!

Dal punto di vista collezionistico, Musha Aleste è uno dei pezzi da avere assolutamente se si collezionano giochi Mega Drive o shumps in generale. Si fa apprezzare anche in versione statunitense, grazie a un package decisamente bello.

It's easy to see why M.U.S.H.A. is still so highly regarded after almost two decades, as its visuals, gameplay and overall style must have felt well ahead of their time for players who got the chance to experience it first in 1990. Wii owners today, particularly shooter fans, would do well to give it a look here in 2009 for its 800 Wii Point asking price -- a price that's especially reasonable, as in addition to all the accolades listed above, M.U.S.H.A. is an incredibly rare and expensive game to try to track down and own in its original Genesis cartridge form. Virtual Console fans may continue to bemoan the lessened amount of new classic game releases each Monday on the download service, but if the all-by-themselves games selected continue to be as compelling as M.U.S.H.A., Nintendo can just keep them coming one at a time.

Musha Aleste sprengt die Grenzen herkömmlicher Ballerspiele. Es ist die grafisch und akustisch spektakulärste Actionorgie, die ich je gespielt habe. Dank den unerreicht fetzigen Musikstücken und den voluminösen Soundeffekten entsteht eine Atmosphäre, die einen die Umgebung total vergessen läßt. Man versinkt förmlich in den Explosionsorkanen der zerberstenden Aliens (die Musik unbedingt über Stereoanlage anhören!). Zugegeben, Musha Aleste tendiert etwas zur Hektik und manchmal tut man sich bei dem Sprite-Chaos auf dem Bildschirm mit der Orientierung etwas schwer. Dies alles beeinträchtigt aber nicht das unbeschreibliche Gefühl, wenn man sich durch grafisch und technisch brillant in Szene gesetzte Alien-Horden ballert. Noch nie gelang eine so perfekte Symbiose aus Optik und Akustik einerseits und Spielspaß auf der anderen Seite.
