    There’s plenty to like in Rendering Ranger R2, and if you learn it thoroughly it's twice as rewarding. Turrican fans will love it, and the shoot-'em-up stages look great, even if they’re a tad Euroshmuppy in places. The hybrid is a novel idea, and the weapons system and perpetual bomb recharges bring variety to the table. It’s not as good as Contra nor Thunder Force, but it’s certainly an enjoyable action game in its own right, despite the odd niggling annoyance.
