Kitchen Sink Included
Super Turrican 2 comes out with both barrels blazing and doesn't let up for a moment. This game has everything -- excellent explosions, gigantic bosses, multiple weapons, stunning visuals, and flawless controls.
The battlefields depict various settings: Whether you're fighting on a bombed- out high-rise or a pirate spaceship, side-scrolling shoot-em- up fans will find plenty of challenges against an army of foes. Driving and shooting sequences add further diversity: One of the shooter scenarios bears a striking resemblance to Axelay, as you fly over a fiery planet.
Veteran Turrican players will also find a new piece of hardware -- the grappling hook that lets you grab onto low ceilings and scale walls. And you can net hard-to- reach items.
Turrican's control is flawless, and you can also configure the buttons. You'll want to configure your top two buttons for the grappling fiook- and freeze beam: In several instances, you must scale buildings and Ire simultaneously.
Mr. TUrrican's Wild Ride
Turrican pulls out all the stops, especially with respect to the graphics and sounds. Explosions, Mode 7 effects, and a barrage of sprites provide a colorful eyeful. Some driving sequences -- like the water spiral sequence -- almost induce motion sickness. Fine details, such as the spent shells that pop out of your weapon with each fired round, are especially cool.
The symphonic overtures in the early stages sound more like ActRaiser than a blistering shootout. The later stages set the musical mood with militaristic overtones and beautiful, subtle tunes in the underwater stages. The sound effects blast a barrage of explosions, but mumble muted weapon discharges.
A Bit Too Far
Super Turrican 2 has been in the works for some time, and it's been worth every waiting moment. In an age filled with anxiety about system wars, Super Turrican 2 is one heck of a show, thanks to an entertaining little war of its own.

Story[edit]
The location is a small star system floating in the endless spiral arms of a black hole. Little do the inhabitants of the planets know about the menacing hordes of The Machine. Fleeing through the outer regions of the known galaxy, the villain found his next victims. Long since his last defeat, The Machine has returned and the defenses of the star system are no match for The Machine's phasers launched from deep space. Civilizations were destroyed in an instant and the whole system fell under the spell of evil, with just a few tiny cries for help escaping the boundaries of the system.
In the U.S.S. Avalon, flagship of the United Freedom Forces, the heroes of many rescued souls are restlessly waiting for the final encounter with their longtime arch-enemy. As the sirens yell across the hangar, three ships blast off into the unknown. Ready to face their final challenge, the ships prepare to enter a black hole in order to reach the attacked system. But seconds later, only one of the ships manage to escape the dangerous influence of the black hole.

Badly damaged and burning, the ship hurtles towards a devastated dune world. Shipwrecked somewhere in this devastated realm is the last remaining survivor of the assault squad team sent by the United Freedom Forces. Equipped with his Turrican assault suit, he has to face alone the attempt to stop The Machine's plan to transform the devastated galaxy into his new army stronghold.
Gameplay[edit]
Super Turrican 2 features more straightforward shooting action and uses Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound as well as many 'Mode 7' effects, but sacrifices the big levels of the original Turrican games by playing more similar to the Konami 'Contra' series. The major addition is a grappling arm, similar to that used in Bionic Commando, which can be used to swing between platforms and grab power-ups.
The game features different vehicles such as a desert dune buggy, a space motorcycle and an underwater motojet.[2]
Reception[edit]
GamePro gave the game a rave review. They applauded the varied battlefield settings, 'flawless' controls, 'stunning' visuals, powerful explosions, and strong soundtrack, and concluded that 'Super Turrican 2 has been in the works for some time, and it's been worth every waiting moment.'[3]
