Macross 2036

It's not the best ''shooter'', but, it IS one of the best.
Graphics-Fantastic! There is one level inparticular that has LOTS of paralax scrolling, & even psuedo-reflextions that look almost real! They put alot of detail into the graphics!
Sound-Wonderful! Alot, if not all the music is from the series! The sounds are decent as well. Nothing that I can remember that was exceptionally good. But the music rocks!
Playability-The game plays very welll. Pretty tight controls on both forms of your ship. The robot mode takes a little getting used to. The I button makes you turn one way, & the II button makes you turn the other. You get used to it. Weapon wise, as you go through the game, you can choose different weapons, depending on how many points you have.

Kaze Kiri Ninja Action

I got to know about this game from my friend, a die-hard NEC fan. He was talking about how Kaze Kiri was an absolute masterpiece and how it was much better than all other ninja games like Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden. Not only that, but he also claimed this game to be one of the best Turbo CD games ever created only rivaled by Ys Book 1&2 and Ys IV: The Dawn of Ys. And since I knew how great those games were I couldn`t help borrowing Kaze Kiri from him for a week or so.

On to my review. Is this game really as great as some PC-Engine fans(yep, lately I`ve seen other NEC maniacs totally raving about it) claim it to be? Not quite. It`s a generic ninja action game that`s good while it lasts. It has it`s own pluses, but overall isn`t in the same league with good old Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden games.
