Reviews for Airwolf II (#128)

Review by WhenIWasCruel on 16 Aug 2009 (Rating: 3)

ok. let's take a look at this sequel: there aren't flip screenS, this time, but a continous horizontal scrolling, unusually from right to left, you need costantly to sweep away enemies with hails of bullets, you have enter tight tunnels and dodge this and that, there's less colour but more playability: luckily the difficulty is more balanced than in airwolf 1. but, after all, almost all existing games are easier than airwolf 1.

ANYWAY THERE ARE STILL THOSE HORRIBLE WALLS THAT YOU HAVE TO PIERCE BRICK AFTER BRICK TO PASS THROUGH, AND THIS TIME YOU MUST DO IT BEFORE THE SCROLLING SMASH YOU AGAINST'EM.

not bad. quite enjoyable.

Comparing this to the original this is more like it. More enjoyable and overly playable. A far better sequel which makes a change.

The sequel to the infamous Airwolf, plays a lot easier and is quite enjoyable, but feels just like a clone of a range of scrolling shoot 'em up games.
Whereas the original felt a lot more, well, original, with it's only sin being the difficulty level.
Nonetheless this was the 80's, so Airwolf was way too challenging.

The sequel is more of a search and destroy type of game, there less strategic timing and planning, but it's a an enjoyable game.
