There are so many shoot 'em up games both vertical and horizontal that it can be hard to stand out. Aero Fighters 2 is able to stand out amongst all its fellow vertical shoot 'em ups thanks to its amazing gameplay, stellar graphics, and fun weapons. Like many shoot 'em-ups, and arcade games in general, the difficulty can be a little demanding but overall this is one of the best SHMUPs I've ever played as someone who isn't a huge fan of the genre.
