Nicely done.  I like how you put your goggles on to read the story.  The whole time I was thinking how the hell can he see the paper through those. Good stuff. 

[Paul Westphal]

Oh I'm on this one. Thanks, Vinnie!

Nice review! I love Cybernoid although my favorite version is the NES version. Less "shooter" Cybernoid is probably a good thing since the "shooter" parts of Cybernoid tend to be the most cheap parts of the game if I remember right.

 

This has 5 levels compared to the 3 in Cybernoid but how long are the individual levels compared side by side if you had to guess? Cybernoid levels 1 and 2 are fine but level 3 is kind of freaking long given how many rooms have crap that swarms you can kills you immediately if you don't memorize the room sequence.

Each world is 22-25 screens long.

 

World 5 is a little shorter than the others.

 

I think I posted a map of level 1 at the start of this thread, it's an older map, but it should give you an idea of the average size of the levels.

I love how world 3 looks- it would have been cool if there was an ARTI crossover. It reminded me of your HERO remake. 
World 4 is very reminencent of that disgusting bioworld from the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Cool. Sounds like it is a reasonable length so that it can’t be rushed through trivially but also doesn’t take 5 million years to beat.

 

I will definitely order this day one once it is available.

Fantastic review Vinnie! Cool seeing all the content, great synopsis of gameplay/sound/visuals (and of course over the top entertaining as always) 🤘 🤩

 

And congrats to Lewis, Bobby, and the whole EXO team on the rare rating achievement! Well deserved! 👏🏆
