WorthPlaying writes; Originally scheduled in 2000 as a DreamCast title, Thunder Force VI is a side scrolling shooter game in development for the PS2, directed by SEGA's Tetsu Okano, known for Segagaga, Astro Boy: Omega Factor and Gunstar Super Heroes.
So, the question for all Thunder Force fans concerns the game's difficulty, something that every shoot-them-up masochist thrives on. Will you bleed out of your eye-balls, curled into nothing more but a pathetic lump of flesh in the corner, knowing that you'll never, ever beat that damn boss on Level 3?
Despite being too short, Thunder Force VI is the kind of game that is missing today. In a world dominated by 3D and high definition gems like this are worthy of admiration. Hopefully it will not be forgotten and one day it will reach the West through Xbox Live or Playstation Network. The real fans of the franchise will love this sequel.
The Thunder Force series have come a long way, competing with other popular series like Gradius, R-Type and Raiden. With the variety of weapons, bosses and stages, this sixth installment would be worth the import!
I'm likely the only Thunder Force fan on N4G.
