Journey to Silius

O planeta Silius foi colonizado, mas forças terroristas conspiram contra o desenvolvimento da colônia. O pai de Jay foi assassinado, e ele deve voltar e vingar sua morte. Terá cinco estágios para isso. Este cartucho tem um "chip" adicional de som.

Trotzdem bleibt Journey to Silius ein absolutes Vorzeigespiel auf dem NES. Sunsoft's Action-Spektakel kann in spielerischer Hinsicht Konami's "Probotector"-Serie problemlos die Stirn bieten und technisch diese sogar übertrumpfen. Alle Fans mit einem Hang zu actionreichen Ballerschlachten dürfen sich Journey to Silius nicht entgehen lassen und selbst Action-Muffel werden dank der Qualität des Spieles begeistert sein. Also, worauf wartet ihr noch: Habt ihr keines, holt euch eines!

Journey to Silius is an overall above-average sidescrolling shooter with some of the best graphics and sound on the NES and a decent challenge level. If you're into collecting NES games, then I highly recommend picking it up.

Journey to Silius isn't particularly bad in any way, but there's nothing special about it either. It's your standard side-scrolling shooter set in a futuristic world of spaceships and robots. You control a kid out to avenge his father's death. The shooting action is pretty mediocre, only slightly improved by the fact you can collect and switch between weapons. The scenery is clean but sterile and uninteresting. The single highlight of the game lies in the first stage, where you can see cannons firing in the distance before their shots rain down in the foreground. If only the rest of the game was so innovative. The futuristic music is well done, but after repeated plays Silius feels more like an ordeal than a journey.
