Player's Review
"The warrior returns with a vengeance in his ultimate fight for freedom. A flash of steel, a blast from his devastating Gyro laser gun - Strider's back in action, pulverising the enemy and striving for justice. This time, there will be No Limits...No mercy... No Surrender!"
Strider much have done well for US Gold so a sequel was in order. No time to wait for an official arcade sequel so Tiertex made their own.
The game is a little longer than the original game and plays a bit faster too. I'm not sure the gfx really improved though with a now very blocker main character. The C64 game feels a little rushed and unfinished as the game can get very choppy on some levels and the music is very short and lazy track that plays on the title screen and throughout the game. The music is nice and all, but even the first game had an additional track.
The gameplay steps up a little bit with the addition of energy pickups to find in each level. This charges up your ... robo suit? which you get in to fight the bosses at the end of each level. This serves as an additional level bar to play with as your initial bar does not replenish and may not be enough to tackle the bosses alone.
