Despite being one of the shortest games I have ever played, I still recommend SkyGunner. I've always wondered what Gladius or R-Type would be like in 3D. Now I finally have an answer.
A rough diamond, beneath that stuttering framerate is a wonderfully innovative shooter that is a joy to play and brings some great ideas to the genre.
Though its visual style is soft and often flowery, the pace of the action is maddening and intense.
There's no doubt it's a fun game-- after all, who doesn't like hopping in a plane and making a rain of lead-- but its flaws make it a bit inaccessible to someone new to the style of play.
So is it worth your 50 Messetas? If you like shooters, or are a collector of Atlus titles, I’d have to give a resounding yes. For anyone else, I’d call this one a renter. It’s easily completed in a weekend.
