Cyber Troopers Mars Gamesmaster Review

NOTE: This is a review from U-986 about Cyber Troopers Mars, on their version of the Gamesmaster Magazine, henceforth, what is written is fictitious in this reality but possibly not in U-986

"Everyone's favourite Cyber Warfare Game is back".

Wow, has it really been 4 years since the one on one festival of bullets Virtual On Oratorio Tangram came out? It seemed like ages ago, anyways, we're gonna review the latest game in the Cyber Troopers series, it sadly doesn't have competitive multiplayer but it does have a co-op mode and a brilliant campaign. Featuring the voices of Star Wars very own Qui Gon Jinn, Liam Neeson. As well as Fight Club guy, Edward Norton, and a new actress who is about to be in a movie called "Lost In Translation" called Scarlett Johansson. Liam Neeson plays the baddie in this game, Lt Rogers. Who is a dissident rebel on the planet Mars who wants to start a revolution on earth with GIANT FREAKIN ROBOTS!

The Particle Effects in this game are brilliant, if you thought the 6,000 Projectiles on screen at once in 6 Seconds in Oratorio Tangram was awesome, this game manages four times that amount in 6 seconds, 24,000 Projectiles without any slowdown and it still runs at 60fps. How they managed to do this we don't know, but it certainly makes the game very difficult.

The Soundtrack, composed by SEGA Music Royalty Kentaro Koyama, is comprised mostly of absolute bangers. Including "High On Hope" "Fade To Black"(Not to be confused with the Metallica Banger of the same name) and "Into The Blue Sky".

Now the Gameplay is amazing, the game is entirely set in first person in the cockpit of a Virtuaroid, or a Giant Robot if you will, and like in Fox Force, you get to hear Virtuaroid Pilot Dialogue during gameplay. The Gunplay is smooth, with your typical FPS Gameplay and control layout.

Finally, The Bosses in this game are awesome, there is a boss in the middle of the game that made us genuinely crap ourselves(OK We may be exaggerating, but not by much, ED) called Z-Gradt. And Lt Rogers and his Raiden unit are intimidating as well.

Overall, Cyber Troopers Mars is a brilliant game only available for the SEGA Jupiter that while frustratingly difficult, is worth  it for the gamer's  collection.
