I give it six Bonk meats.  It's good fun and all, but I don't really care for the weapon selection or the upgrade system; not to mention that it's nowhere near as awesome as Soldier Blade.

Yeah- Soldier Blade to me is the best in the series by far.  I gave SSS 6- but to me six is below average with 7 being average.

Here's how I rank the Soldier series- with BL thrown in for laughs- since some here consider it a Soldier game-

Soldier Blade > Star Parodier > Blazing Lazers > Final Soldier > Super Star Soldier

Huh?  I only speak English, so I'm not sure what you're asking.  :P

I don't like the weapon selection, as the spreading circles of doom look really lame and the flame thrower just flat out sucks (the short range is fine, but the control stinks), and I also don't care for any upgrade system where you have to repeatedly shoot the power-ups to get what you want.

I should say 16 bit era (89to95 in the states)to be more accurate, but theres allot of nostalgia surrounding this game for me, its one of the first shooters i ever purchased.

that's what I just guessed, you talking here about final soldier and not super star soldier, which is way superior. don't you? :mrgreen:

I'm basing my rating from playing it bitd, so my memory is hazy. I remember it being OK, but not stellar. I gave it a 7.

6.  It's decent but not a favorite.  The soldier series in general isn't a favorite of mine.  They tend to lack balence.  Either way too easy or too difficult.

Uh, no.  I'm talking about Super Star Soldier; Final Soldier would get 8 Bonk meats.

I gave it an 8..  I rate it higher than soldier blade and final soldier.. I wish those 2 titles pushed the series higher graphically and playability wise.

Audio in all these games are really good tho.
