GameSpy: Nanostray 2 Review

GameSpy writes: " In Nanostray 2, Shin'en has addressed the most critical of the flaws that pulled down the original Nanostray, added a few new twists and turns, and produced a solid game that'll please anyone who digs this type of classic arcade shooter.

Certainly the most important upgrade -- and definitely proof that Shin'en reads the reviews and listens to users -- is in the game's control. Rather than restricting players to the touch screen, Nanostray 2 offers a trio of control setups, one that does away with touch altogether and two more that are touch/button/d-pad hybrids. Our favorites are the hybrids, one of which is thoughtfully geared for lefties."

Pros:
-Highly addictive gameplay
-Improved control setup
-The DS has rarely looked prettier

Cons:
-Some visual perception issues
-Unoriginal premise
-Too difficult for casual players
