how much would you rate Super Star Soldier..

[Necromancer]

ok, so then I've just missunderstand you about the part of "weaopn selection", since you can do that in FS before the game starts. sry bro^^"

I meant the shooting the 'stuck' power-ups until they turn into the flashing orb thingy; it's just too close to bells for comfort.

but those are only the rare choosen ones for getting the golden ships (no backset)

nothing to do with the usual power/weaopn ups.

I gate it a 9 because I love the music and it was the first shoot 'em up that actually made me like shoot 'em ups.

That's all they're good for if you shoot 'em enough times, but otherwise they're just regular weapon upgrades.  True enough, they aren't common or a huge part of the weapon power-up system, yet they're still a part of the game.  A part I don't particularly care for.

I gave it a 9 since I can't vote for 8.5. It's not as excellent as Soldier Blade but comes in second in the series. Thumbs up for the robot boss who shoots his arms at you, he's the man!!

[nectarsis]

I vote a six.  Sadly have yet to play Final Soldier, but Soldier Blade takes SSS, and makes it it's bitch

[Sinistron]

The weapons pretty much suck.  The blue rings look retarded- as does the green lightning.  The flame weapon is awful- its like a big curling moustache attack- Useless.  The backgrounds/graphics are for the most part uninspired.  Compare to Final Soldier - which has SSS's weapons but also a host of others (though the cheese doodle attack is just as bad as some of SSS's weapons) and some cool 50's/60's sci-fi graphical stylings.  Soldier Blade smothers SSS in every way- not even worth bringing up really.

[Arkhan]

those who voted Never Played SSS should be taken out back and forced to play CD-I.

[Turbo D]

I give it a 10. This game rocks! I know that its too hard for some, but I think that it is a very decent game. Like others have said, the music is top notch. I enjoy the blue lazer weapon too.

[nat]

Eh, I give it a 5. Easily the weakest of the "series" including Gunhed, SSS, Final, and Blade. Uninspired level design, merely passable graphics, and unexciting music make for a fairly mediocre package in my book. The other three absolutely demolish it in every way.

It isn't bad because it's hard- for example R-Type and Image Fight are both crazy tough and yet they demolish SSS. 

and unexciting music

Yeah - seriously.  I think the music is being way overhyped by some people here.

I gave 'em a 9 because it was an amazing speedy and dynamic shooter at its time. it played faster and more dynamic than gunhed and was kinda new in its kind. for me personally, it didn't lost any of its charme until today.

I also like the dissed blue circle laser. like an oversized ripple laser from salamander! just great and powerful!

a weak point was the 2nd level, since the BG didn't look that well. but beside of that, it's just a great shootie made out of pure pce madness as it should be!! and some of the levels and bosses looked better than anything in FS and SB together!

I can agree that soldier blade gets some more attention. it's a great shooter graphically as well as acoustic wise, no doubts. but as for final soldier I can't. it lost some of the original pepp which SSS had, and I find its graphics worse, which makes it the weakest part of the 3. altought the BGM is really great.

SSS: 9
FS: 7
SB:9

may some do not like SSS, but hey open your eyes, it's never a medicore shootie as they call it! not even close to that!

Super Star Soldier 9/10
Final Soldier 8/10
Soldier Blade 10/10
Star Parodier 8/10

[Lord Thag]

All of the Star Soldier games on the PCE are good, and I gave SSS an 8. It's a darn good shooter, solid in all respects, but Soldier Blade and Final Soldier trump it in terms of power ups, sound, and music. My favorite is Final Soldier, which I find to be simply outstanding.

That said, the games are pretty closely ranked. Star Soldier is a solid series, for sure.

[ikobo]

I gave SSS a 7. And i'd rate the rest....

Gunhed 9 (The first game that got me in to shooters)

Final soldier 6 (never really warmed to it)

Soldier blade 10 (My favourite shooter ever)

Star parodia 8 (i think it's a great, fun little game)
