Thunder Force is one of the long living classic series that pushes the limits of the consoles which the games are published on. The first game was released in 1983 as a horizontal scrolling shooter. As the games developed, new elements are added to the series, like enabling a 360 degrees scroll function and introducing more planes and weapons for every new installment.
It inherits the adrenaline pumping gameplay and the voluminous amount of weapons and stages. If you are sick of the gimmick filled games and is dying to have some traditional shooting fun, Thunder force IV is the game for you.
A star studded cast of sound producers are working together to hit you with full thundery force. The list of composers are: Tamayo (Rayforce) Sato Tsuyoshi (Raiden Series) Furukawa Motoaki (Gradius II) and Kaneko Tsuyoshi (Sega Gaga)
The war between the Ohn Empire and the Federation are still in full swing. Participate in the war effort in this famous title via your PlayStation2.
Great shooter I love this game.
The soundtrack is beautiful.
The controls are solid.
Graphics are excellent for a shooter, as good as Ikaruga.
Menus are in english.
Pure goodness

we need more games like this Great stuff, accessible for people that aren't shooter gods, but gets hard enough to challenge them.
Perhaps a little too short, but it looks and sounds gorgeous

Excellent shmup This game is a must have for any shoot-em-up fan. I have been a fan of this series since I got part 3 for super nes. This version plays differently from the prequels a bit, but after finishing it, u unlock a ship that is similat if not the same as the one for THUNDER FORCE V on PS1 or Saturn. After u finish it with the 2nd ship u unlock a ship that starts with absolutely no special weapons, which I'm not good enough to finish the game with, but should be a great challenge for all of you, shoot-em-up geniuses out there.
