Super Turrican 2

Super Turrican 2 reminds me of the Super Famicom games of old. The SNES hardware is brought to it's knees in this game, with special effects around every corner. The adventure is loaded with great play mechanics, flawless control and incredible music. First Mega Turrican and now this! I'm really starting to like this guy!

Super Turrican 2 has been in the works for some time and it's been worth every waiting moment. In any age filled with anxiety about system wars, Super Turrican 2 is one heck of a show, thanks to an entertaining little war of it's own.

All of that's not to say that Super Turrican 2 fails to deliver in the side- scrolling action department -- far from it. What's here is still solid and satisfying. It's just a little unfocused, and so it's not quite as outstanding an individual game as its SNES predecessor. If you've played both of the previous Turrican adventures on the Virtual Console, then definitely consider investing an additional 800 Wii Points to see how the series wrapped up here in the 16-bit era. But if you haven't yet spent time with any of them, start at the beginning -- grab the first Super Turrican to begin with, then continue on to the sequels if you like what you find there.
