Return to Sector 9 is a top down shooter. At heart at least. it's really simple at that. But it's another game that I've spent a few days immersed in, and this is because the longer you play you unlock abilities to play better and longer. special weapons, more lives, paint jobs, and more ships (15 in all!) are all yours, if you play enough. Also the game has mutiple modes that you unlock as you play. The game starts with only "Return to sector 9" available to play, but with enough points you unlock such games as "Windmill", "Jellyfish", and "Last stand". They're all variations on the top down shooter (well, and missle command) but some are survival, some are rescue / collection, some have boss battles, and some are just a great excuse to use an old crazy miner accent while playing. The game awards you for how far and how many points you get in each mode, and then you can submit the scores to a high score board. The game is not very deep at all, but a lot of content makes this a very fun game to have around. |
