Electronic Arts has recreated the popular old Neo-Geo shooting game for the PlayStation, providing it with great graphics and great music. Unfortunately, the over-complicated control system and the very high complexity of the game tasks turn this game into a test for "ultra-precise" shooting. Your weapon is two laser "blasters", three destructive bombs and additional energy sources that triple the power of fire. New graphics make the game a beautiful futuristic spectacle. The screen has a lot of metallic luster, flashes and other video effects. But during the shootout itself, the flaws of this version become more apparent. The absence of an option for two players reduces the possible interest in the game action, which, again, can make the average player admit defeat even in the simplest mode (Easy). The complexity of the control gives the impression that your ship is getting stuck in a swamp. In order to get comfortable with the game, you need to practice for quite some time, so Viewpoint is a game for the patient!
