The Final Word game review
R.I.P.
This game is your traditional overhead, top-to-bottom shooter. If you've played and enjoyed games like 1943, or especially Flying Shark, then you'll enjoy this title. One-player or two-player modes are both fun. I also especially liked the option in the game where you can choose they type of bomb/missile you want to play with, as well as the fact that you have the option to choose your path in the game (either to fly combat in the air or close to the land surface). Another thing I enjoyed about this game is the feel... it is absolutely without a doubt an arcade shooter. It completely captures that coin-op feel of gameplay and brought back a lot of memories of hours spent in the arcade. This game alone would make me go out and hunt down a used Neo*Geo console (note I said used! These machines are still way to costly in my opinion).
