Beschreibung:
mobygames.comMultidirectionally scrolling action shooter. The main character runs through science fiction scenarios blasting away everything that moves. Starting with only a single shot, 5 different upgradable weapon systems can be collected as extras. Upon death, the last activated system loses one increment of its current upgrade status, but can be refueled by additional extras collected. Every weapon has also a massive 'smart' bomb feature, wiping out mostly everything on screen at once if invoked. There are also some R-Type style space shooter levels thrown in for good measurement. Very arcady with tons of action. Several boss monsters per level. Level progress is saved via password feature.
Review:
nintendolife.comRendering Ranger: R2 is a labour of love from a small and dedicated team that spent nearly three years making the Super Famicom do things people assumed impossible. It's a lovely hybrid of a regular run and gun game and superb shmup. It looks absolutely incredible with detailed backgrounds and bosses up to three screens tall, the controls respond flawlessly and as previously stated, there is no perceivable slowdown anywhere to be found. A technical masterpiece that is much more than just eye candy and a great way to prove that the Super Famicom could indeed handle shmups as easily as the Mega Drive or PC Engine in the hands of the right developers. It's almost criminal that due to its very limited production run in Japan (only 5000 copies, apparently) very few people ever got to play this gem. As such, expect to find prices in the hundreds for a loose cart nowadays. A complete in-the-box copy of the game? Well, let just say you will need very deep pockets for one of those, but unless something incredible changes, Rendering Ranger: R2 is the closest we'll ever get to a proper Turrican 4 or Super Turrican 3. Trenz used the pseudonym "The Master" in his early computer game credits. Spend a few minutes with this slice of Super Famicom brilliance and you will quickly understand why - assuming you can afford a copy, of course.
Habs gestern gestartet und finde es ziemlich cool. Ich komme inzwischen ins 6. Level (Endboss des Levels). Es gibt 9 Level. Man ist als Fusssoldat unterwegs und in anderen Levels als Flugzeug (à la R-Type). Technisch hervorragend. Kann bisher kein Ruckeln bestätigen und die Quali ist ziemlich cool.
Fand vor allem die Level schwer in welchen man im Flugzeug sitzt. Allerdings gibt es tolle Ressourcen:
das Flugzeug kann sich auch drehen und nach hinten schiessen
es gibt 4 Schuss-Optionen die man auf 3 Stufen upgraden kann (man bekommt oft die Chance, da es viele Items einzusammeln gibt)
Das beste: die Bomben laden sich immer wieder auf, so dass man immer wieder Bomben einsetzen kann (was auch absolut nötig ist)
Ein Leben als verstecktes Item fand ich nur in Level 2
Der Boss in Level 6 braucht lange, um geknackt zu werden. Sollte aber machbar sein, sofern man mit guter Ausrüstung zum Boss kommt
