    All the bosses in "Strider 2" look awesome, and hopefully, will inspire younger players to realize what a real side-scrolling action game should be like.

    It's enormously fun -- and isn't that what really matters in the end?
  3. Core Magazine

    If you're looking for a deliciously shallow, unquestionably mindless action platformer (the kind they don't make like they did back in the proverbial day), "Strider 2" is a perfect shelter from the storm of "Tomb Raider" clones diluting the market.
  5. GameSpot

    The double set of "Strider 1" and "2" is an excellent starter kit for the uninitiated, but for veterans of the series, it's like dinner without the dessert.
  6. Hot Games

    Not only is it a fun, clean, and interesting platform game, but it includes the original game as well -- two games for one low price.
  7. PSX Nation
    75
    Even with "Strider 1" as a bonus game, it shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours to complete both games, and there isn't much to make you want to play the games again.

A gem. I would grade it with an 8.3 out of 10.… Full Review »
