Space Berserker is similar to Hyperion: your basic Wing
Commander-type space game with multiple missions to complete. You are
part of the elite troop of Valkyrie space fighters stationed aboard
Space Battleship Odin of the Earth Federation Forces. Alien objects
equipped with terrible bio-weapons have invaded the outer earth defense
perimeter and the final battle for mankind's survival begins...
So, once again aliens are asking for it and they shell receive. Game
play is solid, controls are easy to figure out (including all three
weapon buttons) and difficulty level starts out low. In the beginning
the gorgeous background graphics are a bit distracting, they are just
that good! Different alien opponents require different weapons and with
increasing progress the game gets quite intense.
The background graphics off the laserdisk are excellent and are
brilliantly combined with the foreground objects generated by the
control pack. Together this puts on quite a show and the LaserActive
system excels in these mixed source graphics. Video off the disk stays
fluid and switching between different scenes is very almost
instantaneous. Sound is encoded in RSS and very rich.
One of the better games for the LaserActive system! |
