Review:
Galaxy Wars
When I first saw the game listed on ebay I believed it would be a shooter much along the lines of space invaders. The graphics looked spot on as far as clones were concerned so I went ahead and bid on it. After the game arived I decided to give it a try and much to my surprise the game itself was only simular to Space Invaders when comparing graphics alone. The gameplay places you in control of a missle that's trying to destroy enemy ships which fly side to side while shooting lazers down upon you. In between you and the enemy are small comet like enemies which can not be destroyed aparently. Your purpose is to crash your ship into the enemies by avoiding those that appear on the lower half while also avoiding the lazers fired from the top group. At first it's extremly easy but as enemies are destroyed at the top the rate of speed eventualy increases as one by one they are killed off. The game features multiple modes of play from color, black and white, to updated but over all the game feels like a remake of an old game long forgoten and not missed.
Graphics-
For its time I'm sure the game was better but with so many better looking shooters for the SNES/SFC, it's hard to say they are all that pretty.
Gameplay-
It looks like a shooter, it almost even plays like one, but as all you can do is fly your missle into the enemy it grows boring in the all too quick manner that tends to bore people these days.
Sound/Music-
It doesnt push the system's sound one bit. While that's generaly a bad thing, for a game originaly released over 20 years ago, that's not such a bad thing. It doesnt have much music to show either but the sound effects fit.
Replay value-
It's hard to say this game has much replay value. As it stands you'll either love it or hate it. The graphics and gameplay alone are enough to keep most people away from it as it feels too outdated, On the other hand, the controls are so simple anyone could give it a try. At best it's a game you'll play some when you first get but beyond rainy days when you forget about the game, you'll probly never bother with it again.

Over All Rating:5
Buy/Rent/Pass:Renting import SFC games is doubtfully even posible in this day and age. While I'd like to say you should rent it before buying, I'd only recomend this game for those looking to play the obscure games that dont require much if any Japanese language skills. It's somewhat possible to find it used but unless your just looking to find a cheao bargin, this can be passed on.
