Product ReviewsPhalanx (Nintendo Game Boy Advance, 2001)

The SNES Version Improved!

I get the feeling that Kemco took a look at the SNES release of PHALANX and decided to improve everything that weighed it down. While the audio took a hit, the graphics got a makeover (for better and for worse), the main difference being that you can now SEE the enemy projectiles! The difficulty has been toned down, so now enemies don't take so many hits before being destroyed. Your ship is now allowed FOUR hits being shot down rather than three, you can now stock four weapons instead of three too, and you are allotted three bombs. Although they don't do much damage to enemies, they do come in handy wiping out enemy fire. Story's been altered some; the main character is now Rick Sanada instead of Wink Baufield. And oh yeah, NO OLD HILLBILLY PLAYING A BANJO ON THE COVER!

Overall, I think the SNES version of PHALANX is a splendid title that satisfies the shooter's cravings. The GBA version, however, is a major improvement. Definitely worth a look.Read full review...

Un super shoot / Verry good shoot em up

I agree with me 100% for this kind of game, therefore I recommend it. Graphically it is beautiful and colorful, the jouabilié is very easy, the weapons are varied, the songs are catchy (it recognizes the SNES athmospère ^ ^)

A version will be available soon on Wii Ware (with improved graphics) and a Gradius elsewhere.

Moi j'adhère à 100% pour ce genre de jeu, dès lors je le recommande. Graphiquement il est beau et coloré, la jouabilié est très aisée, les armes sont variées, les musiques sont entraînantes (on reconnait l'athmospère SNES ^^)

Une version sera disponible bientôt sur le WII WARE (avec une amélioration graphique) ainsi qu'un GRADIUS par ailleurs.Read full review...
