Developer - Telenet / Riot    Catalogue No. - T-49054

Type - Scrolling Action

After playing the really poor Interbec (everything they made was poor) Super Famicom version of Cyborg 009 I wasn't really expecting much from this Mega CD version seeing that it comes from Telenet's Riot team.  I was so wrong though.  While this game does look a bit basic it's actually quite good fun in an old style run and blast type of way.  The graphics range from pretty average to some quite impressive looking areas.  The soundtrack is also quite fitting helping to portray the action.  The most impressive part of this game though are the story cinemas.  All done in real time using the Mega CD's hardware with original music and voice cast from the TV show.  While the animation isn't as good as Game Art's Urusei Yatsura it certainly ranks as some of the best on the Mega CD plainly due to the cinematic feel it has.

If you're after a good old simple yet enjoyable run and blast style game then you can't go wrong with Cyborg 009
