Razor2: Hidden Skies is a decent shooter with good production values, such as the excellent score. And IGN really liked the ability to customize the ship’s weapon systems to suit personal play style or the challenges presented by each stage. But the action is just so straightforward and predictable – you have played shooters like this for years – that Razor2 never quite sparked to life.

Overall -
The action is competent, yet flawed, and the visuals do nothing to distinguish the game from its countless peers. This is a bland, underwhelming experience whose eight levels struggle to justify the $9.99 price point, and even players hard up for a new shoot-'em-up should think twice before diving in.
"Razor 2 would be a throwback to the early days of Strikers: 1945 and Raiden, if those games hadn’t already done it much better."
