    Swinging Back to Action

    Strider is one of my favorate video games of all time (no supprise), however it took several years for a sequel to come out. But the wait was well worth it and it didn't disappoint in my book, this is one of my favora... Read Full Review

    Better than the first game, but still isn't up to snuff.

    Not as good as the original, but still fun albeit a bit short.

    The story line is hackneyed and pasted together with crazy glue and spinkles. The Action is linear and 2D when it could've been so much more. In the end, Capcom really dropped the ball with this one. It's fun, but too sh... Read Full Review
