Keio Flying Squadron [Horizontal Shooting Game]
Potential Pros & Cons PROS: - Nice anime stills and wacky enemies courtesy of Japan - Great Japanese style musical score that fits well with the theme and design of the game - Funny characters and whimsical, nonsensical story - Moderately challenging and lengthy for a shooter CONS: - Graphics of the actual gameplay are mostly drab and unimpressive - Gameplay is very same-old and a little disjointed - Everything was more or less translated, yet Rami still has a Japanese voice during the actual gameplay. I would've liked a choice betweeen English and Japanese. - Be ready to fly solo on this one - Price tag and scarcity make this mostly a collector's item first, and a game second Bel States:"Keio Flying Squadron is a decent game. It doesn't go above and beyond, nor does it really showcase what the Sega CD was capable of. It uses a conventional shooter formula from shooters of old and spices it up slightly with some Japanese weirdness. This game holds more value to me as an auction item than it does as a game though...and that's not a good thing. This is one of those "admire from a distance" games, while I play more competent shooters. Sorry Rami, Spot, and Dr. Pon..."Game Screenshots
