Hey Rob, nice review. Yeah, I don't much like this game, but I remember wanting Aero Blasters badly back in the Turbo's heyday. I've played it since and feel about the same way you do. Generally, I don't like shooters that necessitate a ton of dodging of unhelpful power ups -- like you don't have enough things to worry about.

Thanks! It was kind of a depressing experience for me. Was looking to break back into doing shooter reviews and, for some reason, decided this would be a good start since I remembered playing and reviewing it back in the GameFAQs days before I broke out of generic sectioned reviews and my memory had it as a good game that just wasn't up there with the greats.

And then I replayed it 20 or so years later and have a lot of questions about what early 2000s Rob was thinking. I was not having much fun, especially with those two outer space stages and their wonky controls. Oh well, there's always others!
