SEGA Saturn

Galactic Attack

Yes! I knew shooters were coming back...big time. Other than its grating music, Layer Section is a perfect example of what a 2-D scrolling shooter should be - with its blazing color, non-stop parallax, hyper-spirtage and amazing pseudo-3-D effects, LS is unquestionably one of the best Saturn games. All I wanted was more weaponry, a bomb and a few more continues.

This classic coin-op shooter features gorgeous, space-themed backgrounds and a rockin' soundtrack. Although your ship is nothing to write home about, the enemies fly at you fast and furiously, giving your eyes a treat and your thumbs a workout. Resounding explosions, crisp voice-overs, and sharp laser blasts round out this quality game. Shoot happens.

Se trata en definitiva de un matamarcianos clásico con todo lo que ello supone: por un lado una jugabilidad a toda prueba y por otro una cierta monotonía.

Galactic Attack was orginally released under the name Layer Section in Japan. Now, it has a new name and is being distributed by Acclaim. This game hails back to the golden age of shooters. Galactic Attack is another tough vertical shooter. If you liked Raiden then you will like this game.

It has issues but Galactic Attack is still decent if you're up for some intense shooting action. The challenge is there, and it offers limited continues as well as a two-player simultaneous mode.
