Darius Twin review (SNES) |

Reviewed by Marc Golding (January 13, 2004) If you’ve played a Darius game before—and most shooter fans have—the boss encounters won't floor you. The familiar siren sounds along with a dramatic written warning that both names, and describes, the oncoming sea-dwelling behemoth. But the actual names in Twin are priceless. As over-the-top dramatic as they are, (e.g.: a tortoise named Full Metalshell) they are quite in keeping with the wailing, alarming tracks that enthuse in the background. A boss encounter in Twin is like a episode-ending Voltron battle: all hype. |

Reviewed by mariner (October 05, 2004) Shooters. The darling of the hardcore croud, the games those elitist gamers heap praises upon. I've never cared for them, personally.

Heck, I can safely say the PC Engine port (Darius Plus) is worth playing solely for the boss battles.

Reviewed by phediuk (March 29, 2006) Taito, like every other company in the early 90s, wanted to jump on the scrolling shooter bandwagon. It was the newest fad in the game industry! Part of the reason for this was because scrolling shooters are very easy games to program: no physics! Extremely linear gameplay (which makes bug testing a cinch)! Simple game mechanics! Only about eight levels are required to satisfy players! And what's more, those players loved them! What's not to love about scrolling shooters? |
