So I was playing my Super Nintendo Today and I decided to go into my shoot-em up collection. I had to choose between Super R-type, R-Type III, Gradius III, and Darius Twin. Now, the first three games all have a name for themselves and are great (although ass-rapingly hard), but today I decided to dust off Darius Twin and see how it stacks up.
After playing this game for over two hours I have to say, not only does it compare with the other Super Nintendo Shooters, to me, its better. It is hard, but not throw your controller through a fucking wall hard. It has a shitload of power-ups, and guess what? You cant fuck up your power ups by accidentally picking up a shitty one. And the topper you may ask? Your in a spaceship, killing fucking Sea Creatures! I love that. I haven't played this game in quite a while, but I must say, it is great. If you get the chance to play this, you should. It doesn't get the play of Gradius or R-Type, but this game is just a solid as those. Even if it didnt beat out Tiny Toon Adventures on Syd's list. WTF.
