Power Strike II is a vertically scrolling shooter and the sequel to GG Aleste (1991, Sega Game Gear).
+ Each weapon is satisfying to use and there's a ton of power-up icons to get you back up and running once you lose a life.
+ This sequel introduces smart bombs to your arsenal, which are much needed against the huge, menacing bosses.
+ Beautiful, layered sprite work that often looks 16-bit, and your ship's horizontal movement animation is impressive.
- Main stages lack any notable moments and enemy placement can often feel like a copy/paste job throughout.
- Power Chip icons tend to clutter the screen at the worst possible time, often obscuring your vision of incoming bullets.
- Only includes six levels compared to the original's eight, and the 3D Bonus Stages are a dull distraction.
