Zillion II: The Tri Formation (SMS)
Gfx-8 Snd-7 Ctrl-6 Chl-8 Ld-5 Fr-8.5 Fun-6
Ov-6
+
Two different game modes (autoscrolling shooter and platformer)
Some good bosses
Somewhat better variation
-
Ditches the adventure aspects of the prequel
You're a huge target as a mecha in the shooter levels
Some crappy music tracks
Constantly respawning enemies in some parts
Less interesting level design (no traps or puzzles, no terminals with commands)
Can't play as the alternate characters - they only serve as extra life
