    Moon Diver feels like the kind of game that was released near the end of the Dreamcast's life cycle. It's aimed directly at people who grew up playing this kind of game, with very few token nods to the fact that time has passed between now and 1999. You can usefully compare it to most if not all of the good 2D games of the last ten years.

    If you are looking for an action-packed game that is reminiscent of some of the best side-scrolling action games of yesteryear, you can do far worse than Moon Diver.

    If you are looking for a great 4 player side scrolling adventure then look no further.

    For gamers looking for an old-school experience on their newfangled Xbox 360 they really won't go wrong with Moon Diver, especially if they were fans of the previous Strider games. Like a space-age Castlevania, Moon Diver will kick most any gamers ass – but in an old-school way that feels so good.

    While it's easy to compare it to Capcom's 1989 hit Strider, Moon Diver certainly stands on its own. The game does suffer from repetitive gameplay and a bit too much grinding, but the fact-paced action and four-player mode more than makes up for the shortcomings!

    It will not be remembered as one of the greatest in the digital catalogue as it could be much better, but retro gameplay fans will enjoy it.

    Great game and true hidden gem thanks to the useless game review media completely ignored it, it only it had been released in trendy 8 bit ..Great game and true hidden gem thanks to the useless game review media completely ignored it, it only it had been released in trendy 8 bit ..
    It basicly a modern day Stryder that feels more like the origional Strider games than the offical modern Stryder game,but thats a goid game in its own right.
