I like it a lot, and the Genesis version is seriously under-appreciated - it's actually quite a good port, and I really like the addition of password save, more Turrican games should have had it. Now, Turrican 2 / Universal Soldier is a great game. I love the Metroid-inspired ball form, and the shooting action is good, but they have issues. I love Factor 5's later games as well, too - the Rogue Squadron/Battle for Naboo games are outstanding! Great developer.įor the first two games, they're interesting mixes of European platform-action style, with some Japanese influences.
#Super turrican 2 snes expensive series#
Turrican is a really great series, one of the best run & gun game series ever - for me only Metal Slug is definitely better (never loved Contra.). I'm not a "Euro-platformer" fan, of the games of that style from the '80s to early '90s, admittedly, but still, as great as Turrican 2 is, the later ones are even better. People, mostly Europeans, who grew up with that style of game naturally then dislike the later titles for being different, but as an American who grew up on mostly American and Japanese games (NES, PC, etc.), I think that the direction Factor 5 went in improved the series. The first two are clearly Euro-platformer(/shooter)s, but that changes with the third game.
When comparing Manfred Trenz's two games, the first two, to the three later ones Factor 5 made themselves, there are a lot of differences, as F5 made their games with a much stronger arcade/Japanese influence than you see from the first two. Both are incredible, must-have games, though, among the best games on the SNES and Genesis, respectively. Mega Turrican is my second favorite Turrican game, and it is close to Super Turrican's level, but Super Turrican is slightly better, I think. It's a fantastic run & run platformer, with great graphics and music, highly-polished gameplay, and lots of great stuff to see (and shoot) along the way.
Super Turrican 1 is easily the best Turrican game. Should I give Turrican 1 a spin or is it pointless having experienced 2? Think I'm gonna dive in and buy Mega and Super on the VC. Regarding more Turrican, I know the other games are nothing like the first 2 but I'm still very much curious. I see 91 was a killer year for the Amiga, huh? This, Lemmings, Another World, Monkey Island 2, Alien Breed and Civ? Damn!
Did I mention it looks gorgeous? Glad I played it and will certainly be coming back some time in the future! Kickass soundtrack, very responsive controls and a great arsenal to wield them with, awesome bosses and pretty decent level design combine to make this one hell of an action platformer. Finished it!! Man, this game was a lot of fun! It's very chaotic and perhaps a tad too unrestrained (especially when compared to similar contemporaneous efforts like Metroid 2), but that has always been a trademark of euro games and Turrican actually stands tall above the rest because it is designed with a finesse and polish that was lacking in most other euro projects (I'm looking at you, Zool).
