■ 19/05/08 - Nanostray 2 The shooter: It’s a classic genre that requires little more innovation than something to differentiate one title from the next. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t welcome a novel take on scrolling action. Shin’en’s Nanostray, was an early DS shooter with a maligned control scheme and overly-forgiving gameplay. Yet, for all of its woes, the game managed to produce impressive visuals and still-compelling action. A few years later, we now have the follow-up sequel aptly named, Nanostray 2.
■ 11/04/08 - Nanostray 2 Nanostray 2 improves upon the Nintendo DS original with an extra classic control option, a variety of modes and terrific presentation. However, due to its rampant difficulty scale and lack of credits, it may not be appropriate for amateurs or non-shooter fans.
■ 02/04/08 - Nanostray 2 It’s been almost three years since the original Nanostray game dazzled me on the NDS, but the sequel has finally arrived and it’s time to find out if Majesco can strike gold twice. Nanostray 2 is the follow-up to the 2005 scrolling shooter that had my fingers aching back in the day. Thankfully, they’ve had a few years to heal because Nanostray 2 offers up one of the most seriously challenging games this reviewer has ever played on his DS. In fact, the game is so hard that I fear most casual (and even some serious) gamers will likely be turned off before they ever find their groove and get into the actual game.
