Overview
A conversion of Taito's multi-screen arcade shoot 'em up, Super Darius features a choice of paths through the game after defeating each giant aquatic-style boss. Gameplay is fairly traditional with power-ups increasing the damage of your forward shots and bombs. Being on CD, the music is from the original arcade version, and the game also feature a wider range of bosses.
Comment
Nice, but drawn out, horizontally scrolling shoot ‘em up. Darius has always had a style of its own and that is much of where its appeal lays. The bosses are very original and have some quite impressive detail and the levels are generally nice, if repetitive. The only trouble with the Darius games is that once you lose your weapons, you may as well kiss your whole game goodbye as it can be very difficult to recover. So one for the die hard shoot ‘em up freaks only. The choice to use the arcade music and not arranged versions is, in my mind, a good one, as the arcade sound has a strange feel to it that suits it perfectly.
