Comment
W-Ring isn't a game that is widely talked about which is a pity because I quite like it. While it doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, it has enough to make it one of those games that I have a soft spot for. The graphics are pretty nice, fairly varied from level to level - sure it's no R-Type visually, but the liberal use of colour cycling makes the whole game feel very active and alive. The water level is particularly cool. I also really like the music as well, which has a certain odd quality to it, almost Darius-like in places, which is really appealing. Playing through the beginner mode and completing the game is stupidly easy, but there are also Normal and Expert modes for those who want to test their reflexes. If you've not played this before, it's really worth giving it the benefit of the doubt.
