This review is from: Space Harrier (Video Game)
I really like Space Harrier. Very much. But when it comes to an 8-Bit port on the Game Gear, you're going to have to expect ugly graphics while also expecting the familiar shooting gameplay.
The sprites on the Game Gear don't look like as if they're on the ground. It looks like they are rather destroying the ground, because there are blue spaces around the objects. That's terrible.
At least the 3D-ish shooting gameplay is still addicting. There are 18 stages, with the last stage being having to destroy all of the bosses over again. Each stage has tons of obstacles to either avoid or shoot through as you maneuver your way through the level killing everything.
It's too bad that the Game Gear version just doesn't fit the 3D gimmick well. That and there's a little less room for you to dodge upcoming attacks.
