RayCrisis

RayCrisis brings back the furious lock-on system you may remember from "RayStorm," and while some may find it a little bit limited, shooter fans should have a great time with the potential it offers for honing your technique and racking up high scores.

Not only do you get a nice and colorful manual with your copy of "RayCrisis", but a decent shooter to add to the small quality library of shooters available on that system.

Hardcore arcade shooter fans will love RayCrisis:ST, but everyone else should just consider it for a rent when they need to veg out and watch the pretty colors go by.

It's a beautiful looking piece of work, even if there is a modicum of slowdown from time to time due to the sheer amount of traffic on the screen.

The main problem I have with this game is its lack of depth. When you go to play it, it's the same every time. Additionally, the sound needs some work. Fortunately, the graphics are impressive, and the fast-paced gameplay keeps your heart pumping.

Dogged by its short length, unlimited continues and past-due graphics, this shooter barely scrapes by the mediocre mark.

It's high on presentation and style, but the short time it takes to beat it doesn't warrant a purchase.
