Reviews for Star Pilot (#4826)

Review by Raphie on 06 Feb 2009 (Rating: 3)

Decent enough shmup from Firebird, not the greatest but for £1.99 it would have been quite an enjoyable purchase.

The graphics are monochrome and because of that it's the same usual problem with Spectrum shooters, it's hard to see the bullets. But it's still fairly decent, it moves at a nice speed which you can adjust anyway and the music is really nice.

It's not the greatest shmup but it's still nice enough.

It's not bad but the narrow screen and large ship create problems throughout the game, sometimes you have tight gaps to fit through between a barrier and a bullet and you can't fit. Level 2's green is much harder to see than Level 1's yellow as well and I think I prefer playing it in 48K mode as the 128K sound is annoying. Suppose it fits the budget price really.
