Shoot em' up Shamer #1: Strike Force Hydra - PS1

[zeroXshinobi]

this game looks like a mini game in a better game!!! Also the music doesnt really suit the gameplay! Holy crap this game does look like shit! Looks like it belongs on the gba where it got ported over to!!!

[gmintyfresh]

@zeroXshinobi Words can't describe how shite this game is mate, you're right about it being like a mini game. Like that game in gta 4 you can van play on the arcade machine! All those involved with its publication should be thoroughly embarrassed!

[XFile2708]

Great idea for a series matey - appreciate the heads-up to steer clear of this one... lol

[gmintyfresh]

@XFile2708 Thanks boss, Warning Shit Shmup Approaching!!

[reesercliff]

excusethis is a PS1 shmup...? it looks like an nes game what ever you paid it was too much lol

[gmintyfresh]

@reesercliff Ha ha I know, luckily it was VERY cheap!!

[regionfree1]

Never seen this game before

[gmintyfresh]

@regionfree1 I wish I hadn't either, man its poor not just the worst PS1 shooter I've played it must be in my top ten of all time!

[ash81b4u]

If this was released on the amiga back in 1988 it would have been average at best. I may still have to pick this up to complete the pal collection.

[gmintyfresh]

@ash81b4u Aye mate, tbh it's worth picking up just to have in the collection as an example of when shmups go bad!!

[Serraxor]

Oh man, do I have a few clunkers to scathe a little later this year.

[gmintyfresh]

@Serraxor Will look forward to seeing them in a perverse kind of way!!

[cyanidebreathmintz]

Hahaha what a great idea for a series, and what a bloody shocker it is indeed!

must be something to do with the word 'Strike' because there is a budget release on the ps2 called 'Guerilla Strike' and its worse than this man..check that if you dare. And look forward to more in the series!

[darrenwalshsock]

Thank you for making me aware that this one is a stinker on the PS1,what the hell was that loading screen inbetween lives? I think i had this game on my Etch a Sketch :)

[darrenwalshsock]

@MrVengeance83 I really like Ghost Pilots i think it has a great two player mode its simple to play and it doesnt cost a small fortune,but each to their own i guess :)

[MrVengeance83]

Good vid - I'd say XII Stag and Ghost Pilots will be considered for this new series?

[MENDEZ1628]

HAHA!!! Dude, never seen this pityful attempt and really get what you mean. I think this would be doing a disservice to the MS against it's library of fine shooters such as Aleste, Power Strike 1,2, & Saigai, etc. Enjoyed this new spin for sure, nice one! :)

[stuffiwrote]

The music sounds like it was done by the Vengaboys. I have this game on the GBA and it is truly diabolical.

[amurphy245]

What a load of shit,its not like some games that are so bad they are fun to play its just utter boredom.

[MrOreo76]

Toilet kids, PC engine, my favorite bad game

[xBULLETxSPONGEx]

the sound is terrible...

[craigsheree]

Wow, that game is pretty naff , those bullets looked annoyingly slow to me, they seem to be on the screen for about a minute lol

Like you said its just like an old pd amiga game & a bad one at that, its been in my collection for a few years, certainly not paid more than £1-2 for it but I wonder exactly how much that was on release, surely some sort of budget price, imagine paying £30-40 for it, it would be enough to make you sell your playstation in disgust :)

[SCRATCHMASTERDAL]

Hello geoff.

lol. i see where your coming from, this looks awful !! the movement of the ship looks all wrong, the sound effects grate on your ears after about 5 seconds, the level of detail in the graphics is very low, i didn't even like the soundtrack, i could sense your frustration at the game as you were playing it.

I liked the way you said enjoy knowing what a painfull experience you were unleashing apon us all, lol.

Entertaining video mate, take care, Dal.

[segagenesis1989]

That tune at the start up screen sounds awefully familiar. I;m sure that is rip off of an 80s tune!

[gmintyfresh]

@segagenesis1989 I can belive it, it sounded familiar to me too.
