Bangai-O Spirits

True 2-D spectacular from the Masters of Gaming

User Rating: 9.5 | Bangai-O Spirits DS

By StealthRUSH | Review Date: November 26, 2008

In anticipation of Treasure's Bangai-O Spirits, I replayed Dreamcast's 1999 port of Treasure's classic Nintendo 64 Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh. Right up to level 61. For the veteran gamer, I was feeling both excised and gloomy. Since it seemed Bangai-O has already been pushed to its limits - what else can be done? That's where Treasure took me to class.

So many new features in Spirits, some better than others, but overall a polished gem from the masters of 2-D gaming. Reminiscence of Alien Solider, Rakugaki Showtime, and Mischief Makers also take a stronghold in the already-classic Bangai-O series. New weapons, including sword/bat similar to smacking projectiles off Silhouette Mirage. Now you are equipped with double specials of your choice, making the every level challenging. Treasure broke new grounds AGAIN - adding a unique level-editing saving mechanism by sending via Voice Recorder though your PC. Will complete review soon.
