Publisher: Sega
Released: 1988
Space Harrier 3D is a rail-shooter that uses the 3-D Glasses, and the sequel to the 1987 Sega Master System game titled Space Harrier.
+ Much easier to gauge spatial distance compared to the original game and the 3D really makes the stages come alive.+ Bosses are great fun and some have a neat layered approach to their sprite work that makes them look extra menacing.
+ Some fantastic graphical effects, especially the large falling poles and the lightning strikes in the background of Stage 7.
- Despite being a sequel, there's nothing here that advances the series whatsoever and the action is rather unimaginative.
- Seriously challenging from the get-go and explosions linger on the screen for far too long while obscuring your vision.
- Frame-rate is halved to cater for the 3D and projectiles quickly advance on you due to a reduction in animation.
- Includes a 2D mode, but you must first play a stereoscopic game and then enter certain initials as a high score to unlock it!
