4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of Toaplan's sequel to Outzone is considered inferior to its predecessor despite being on superior hardware, though it still retains a level of quality. The introduction of different player ships adds variety and distinct gameplay experiences.
“Toaplan made a sequel to Outzone, but with worse presentation and gameplay on much superior hardware, although it is still good.”
“The only thing better is that you have different player ships with differences in the gameplay.”
