I should hope so, SSS is about as entertaining as the Soldier Blade title screen.

LOL, it's all opinion but in mine at best SSS is average.

Also, Blazing Lazers is only above average, not great for me. Maybe it's because I never played it till I was an adult and have no childhood memories but it's way too long. You could easliy just cut out the first 2 levels. It really doesn't get hard till the last, maybe the last 2 levels so you play like 45 minutes to get to the challenge which drives me bonkers. Hate the balance. The saving grace is it has a lot of fun weapons, good music and graphics but when you break down the gameplay IMO Soldier Blade is superior in every way. Blazing Lazers doesn't even make my top 10 PCE shooters.

Yeah, you do have a point. Blazing Lazer/Gunhed is a total pushover until the last couple levels and it does get boring at times, while Soldier Blade has a nice difficulty ramp-up that keeps things interesting.

If you think Blazing Lazers/Gunhed drones on, you've obviously never played Space Megaforce. You start to wonder if the thing is ever going to end.... before you've even cleared the first level.

Well, I guess that's why I still like Gunhed. It's a total pushover until the very end, but it's still enjoyable to play. Sometimes I want to play something extremely hardcore and challenging, other times a breezy game is just relaxing to play though.

And yeah, SSS isn't a bad game in my opinion. Just another solid PCE shooter to me. Nothing really to make it stand out too much, but it's right at home on the system.

If you ever find yourself playing it again, may I suggest getting the #3 weapon powered up ASAP and trying to destroy as much scenery/get as many points as possible. That's why it's one of my all-time favorites - the amount of crap to destroy is immense, and trying to get it all keeps you pretty busy and stimulated. On a good day, I can clear 700K before the first boss fight. Give it a shot yourself. :)

Round here, the community is pretty evenly split on Blazing Lazers vs. Soldier Blade.  I, myself, prefer Soldier Blade but there are just as many people out there that prefer Blazing Lazers.

I like them both for different reasons. Blazing Lazers definitely has the best sound effects of any shooter on the system.

Well, I really like Super Star Soldier. It's not half as bad as people make it out to be.

Well, I really like Super Star Soldier. It's not half as bad as people make it out to be.

Yeah, I don't get it. Out of all three, I prefer SSS, Blade is a close 2nd. The fact that I grow up playing SSS might play a role as to why I like it so much. I didn't play the other two until well into my adulthood. I can still feel the pain every time my ship gets hit. Bing!!
