Publisher: Sega
Released: 1992
Fantasy Zone is a shoot-em-up that's unrelated to the 1986 Arcade original of the same name.
+ Allows for more experimentation than previous games in the series, as weapons and items can be equipped at any time.
+ There's often a large number of on-screen sprites and what's most impressive is that slowdown is kept to a minimum.
+ Upbeat music sets a great atmosphere while suiting the vibrant backdrops, and there's some great pixel art on display.
- Gameplay is extremely challenging due to the zoomed-in screen which gives you little time to react to incoming enemies.
- Unless you're moving at speed, the game forces you to inch perilously close to the screen edge in order to make it scroll.
- Mega-expensive Rocket Engine isn't worth the price of admission, as your ship's movement ends up being ultra twitchy.
