    This is a 2d shooter that is challenging . Lets you play classic controls or lets you move the ship with the stylus . lots of special weapons to choose from and you can customize the angles of your guns . very cool . it controls perfect , looks pretty , lots of music, and extras. It is easily the best shooter that shin’en has made for a handheld . I cant wait for their next shooter . they seemed determined to become a household name for shooter fans .… Expand

    It's been two years since amazing Nanostray, the long awaited sequel is finally here and Shin'en delivered again big time with eight tantalizing levels pushing your skills to their limits and DS sound and graphic capabilities to the extreme. The replaybility is guaranteed by being able to upload the scores (this time directly from DS via WiFi) and measure yourself against the best players in the world. Technically the game is brilliant and the music is outstanding, maybe even better than in the original game. Absolute must for any shmup lover and highly recommended title for any DS gamer!… Expand

    For a by-the-numbers space shooter, you can't go wrong with the second installment of this DS franchise. [Jan 2008, p.102]

    You could quite easily mistake Nanostray 2 for a game in any other shooter series, but it lacks the focus and polish that make series like "Gradius" and"R-Type" great. [Feb 2008, p.84]

    Nanostray 2 is an odd mix of old and new; it looks and plays better than any of those old games, and it has the polish of a fresh title, but its brand of twitchy, frenetic action and one-hit deaths is so 1985. [Feb 2008, p.89]
