Rating: 4.5/5
Like its predecessor, this game is also a vertical scrolling shooter for 1 or 2 players. 2 player mode is co-operative. Controls are directional and 2 buttons. Button 1 fires your main weapon and button 2 fires your special. Buttons 3 and 4 are listed but not used. You choose from one of four nation's aircraft: US, Japan, Sweden or UK as well as international (UN) aircraft. Player 1 and 2 can choose from different nations. Once chosen you embark on various missions. There is some variation in missions depending on what nations you choose as well as variation on intralevel text. During the mission you shoot various baddies and at the end of the level you fight a boss. Power-ups are available during the mission and these either recharge your special weapon or upgrade your main weapon. All main weapon upgrades are lost on death and your special is restored to the default number of uses.
