Type - 2D Platform & Shooting Action

Better known as Keio Flying Squadron 2 in English,  is the follow up to the Mega CD cult classic Keio's Flying Squadron.  The Sega Saturn game improves on ever aspect of the Mega CD game.  Those great 2D shooting stages are still here.  Bigger and more colourful than ever but now there's an addition to the game.  The Saturn version features some beautiful platform sections that make good use of the Saturn's 2D powers with scaling, rotation and transparencies.  Yes, that's right, transparencies in a first gen Saturn game even though the Saturn can't do transparencies.  Isn't that right anti Saturn magazines of the world !  Anyway, Keio Yugekitai still holds it's head high even in this day and age of 3D game systems.  Unfortunately, Keio on the Saturn is pretty hard to come by these days in Japan and even more difficult to come by the UK release of it.  If you do manage to find a copy, I'd pick it up straight away if I was you.
