If you have never played (or seen) Blazing Star, then you're in for a treat! Remember seeing the incredible pre-rendered 3D graphics of Donkey Kong Country, or Killer Instinct for the first time? Well apply that same methodology to a SHMUP (aka, Shoot-'em-Up) and you'll know what to expect.
As the sequel to Pulstar, which was closely based on the classic R-Type series, Blazing Star takes a greater gameplay departure form the R-Type style, and as a result is more of it's own game - and all the better for it! Quite possibly one of the greatest 2D side-scrolling shooters ever, we are very proud to have Blazing Star in the arcade.
