"Finally, a shooter that wasn't just reflexes--you had to think about what power-ups to get and which to pass by, where to position your ship, and how to use the awesome Force pod. And that third level--a gigantic, ship, multiple screens long, that doubles as the boss? Brilliant. Tough as nails and fun as hell." - M.M., Electronic Gaming Monthly
