this game deals with everthing--from strategy and intelligence to sheer piloting ability. It is difficult but very fun and well worth the price.

This review is from: Soviet Strike (Sega Saturn) (Video Game)

I remember buying this game back in the fall of 1998. By then the sega saturn was dead as Sega had announced the dreamcast was coming out soon.

One of the stores had a bunch of Saturn games on sale and this one caught my eye as i was a really fan of the Strike-Series from the 16 bit era.

I remember paying what was the equivalent of $30 today brand new and sealed in 1998.

I really liked this game it's fun and brings back a lot of nostalgia. I have a memory cart backup but this game also supports passwords which is a nice feature just in case your Sega Saturn battery runs out (WHY SEGA WHY!!!!)

There are only 5 levels but each one is very long and if i may say a little hard. But with a little strategy and patience you wont have much problems. I remember finishing this game over the course of a few months.

The graphics have not aged that well in this age of HIGH DEFINITION...but considering this game is from 1997, most 3D shooters from those days haven't aged that well either, with a few exceptions. Starfox 64.....

But that doesn't mean the game is unplayable, far from it, if you can look past the graphics this game is really gem.

As far as the sounds go they do the job as one would expect; explosions and gun shots are good enough. I enjoy the tunes during the game play and it suites the atmosphere during the missions.

Some of you might find the one liners when you shoot an enemy cheesy; but i was laughing because i had forgotten them over the years.

One of the most interesting aspects of the game that i found was if you plug in a different control such as the Sega 3d controller3D Controller for Sega Saturn video game system or the Sega mission stickMission Stick.

The game will actually recognize the controllers and will open further control style in the options screen.

I never knew this back then until i read the manual this time round and tried it with the 3d controller.

I guess the Saturn really was a great machine in some aspects......for me i still find it a shame it never really took off with the exception over in Japan.

This game was released recently on the PSN Network but that version is a port/emulation of the PS1 version which some may say is and inferior version.

The only major and obvious differences (FOR ME) between the PS1 and Saturn is that the Saturn has wingtip weapons (Sidewinders) and other weapons that attached via the winch.

Keep in mind that the Saturn version came out a year after the ps1 did.

So if your are a fan of the strike series i can recommend this game.

Just don't pay a lot for it even if you are a collector !

I bought it this time (2011) for $15 with shipping and complete, scratch free with the manual.
