Well I’m a big fan of music in games, which is probably pretty clear if you look at some of my most listened to music. So to find out that SEGA put out a game which was an on-rails shooter with techno music…I was all for it. Like this sounded wayyy too good to be true!

Let’s just say I wasn’t disappointed

The game has a pretty simple structure, as you the protagonist have to traverse a whole computer system and destroy the viruses within to save the system. So yeah, not the most thrilling plot out there but still a decent one nonetheless!

Now for the gameplay…and oh man. I’ve never been really into on-rail shooters but oh man this one really stands out for me, and that’s clearly because of the music. I’m going to draw your attention to level 4…that is where it kicked in for me. In that level you fight a mini ufo which has used multiple small polygons? To make it look like a running man and whilst that sounds like an interesting boss fight, it’s the music that accompanies it that makes it’s for me. It sounds like one big tense ride to not only defeat it…but to escape it and it just works soooo well.

Wonderful music, gameplay is very easy to pick up and fun, some neat bonus stuff!
