So I just got this game in the mail today, and I went to test it and dang! What a fan-freaking-tastic game! I was pleasantly surprised. The only Thunder Force game I had played previous was a demo of Thunder Force V on PS1 (which was fun as hell, and HIGH on my wantlist). I was expecting the same side-scrolling shoot-em up formula (albeit with some twists here and there) that Thunder Force V had. Instead I find a free-roaming shoot-em up. What an awesome concept! Why don't other games use this formula? The soundtrack sounds nice, at least so far it does. It doesn't sound "tingy" or use the same sounds as a lot of the Genesis games do. And it's dirt cheap to boot!
I can tell this gonna be one of my favorites. I only played it for a few minutes, but I'm sure I'll have a blast when I actually set aside some time for some real gaming time.
My only question about it is: What's with those stupid walls? How do you get past them? The only thing I could figure was to just run through it and sacrifice a ship in the process, but I know that can't be right. What am I supposed to do to get past them?

A lot of games use that formula. I am also amazed you think Thunder Force 2 is good, but you haven't played 3 yet those I hold my case. For the walls, there are 3 ways. You either shoot randomly at separate areas to destory them, or get a power up that breaks them, or explode and enemy which goes through and hits the wall. The 4th way is insane, but at a lot more game time for you to immerse yourself, but I think you should start really playing before I tell you that. Uh, that's it I guess.Emerald_Warrior
