I'm happy to say that Nanostray 2 dispels the myths about sequels. This shooter game is addictive and fun and is now my favorite DS game. I love it!

They've added a selection screen at the beginning of the game so that you can choose your level of difficulty. This adds tremendously to the replay value. You can play on an easier selection and then increase the level of difficulty as you improve.

There are several selections for gameplay. The main game is the Adventure mode. After you finish each mission and fight the boss at the end you unlock challenge groups which you can play in the Challenge mode. These are mini game shooters which are tons of fun in themselves. After you play and win the challenge group you unlock simulators which you can then play anytime in the Simulators selection. In addition there is an Arcade selection of games which are smaller mini segments from the main adventure game. There is also a setting for two players, using either one card or two cards. I haven't used this setting yet so I can't tell you the differences between the two.

As you can see there is a lot to do in this game. You definitely get your money's worth. The graphics are fantastic. It seems that a lot of time and thought was put into almost all parts of this game and it has paid off in hours and hours of fun, challenges and excitement.

4.0 out of 5 stars most underrated game on the DS, April 25, 2008

The game released without any fanfare, which is a shame because the first edition was the best looking game on the system, and this game is the only one that surpasses it. As a fan of shoot-em-ups, this game manages to maintain a very frantic momentum without slowing down, and the bosses, background, and executions are breathtaking. This is the title I show off to friends who complain about DS graphics.

If any of you have played the first Nanostray, you know how annoying it was to use the stylus to change the position of your weapon satellites while trying to navigate the ship without getting blown up. Thankfully, the only real flaw with the original Nanostray has been corrected in this glorious sequel as you can now reposition your satellites with the L and R buttons. That being said, this game is ridiculously addictive and nearly perfect as far as shooters go. This game is VERY hard to complete, even on the easy setting. You can play any level that you have unlocked in Story mode in the Arcade mode...which is a great way to practice and memorize the levels so that you can dominate those baddies! The Challenge mode is fun and...challenging of course, it opens up some fun mini-games for you if you can win. This is arguably the best looking game on the DS, bright, shiny graphics and not a hint of lag or slowdown even when the screen is completely full of enemies...which is often. One level seems to be a total homage to Lifeforce, a Konami shooter on the NES WAY back in the day that in my opinion is still the pinnacle of all side-scrolling shooters, to see a new game give it a shoutout made me smile. This game will definitely take you awhile to beat, but it's worth it, nothing like beating a game that sometimes seems unbeatable. All in all, you'd be hard pressed to find a better modern space shooter than this, if you like shooters and you have a DS, BUY IT.
