Classic Game Room HD – THUNDER FORCE 6 VI review part 2

Part 2 of 2. Classic Game Room reviews THUNDER FORCE VI 6 for the Japanese Playstation 2 PS2. This Thunderforce 6 review shows the gameplay, graphics, footage and SHMUP goodness that comprises the sixth installment in the Thunder Force series. As far as SHMUPS go, this one is pretty cool. It has a lot of references to the other Thunderforce games like Thunder Force III, Thunder Force IV (aka Lightening Force in the USA) and Thunder Force V. The Free Range weapons is back, as is the Hunter and Craw. Sadly there is not a North American release for this game, or a European or South American release. Classic Game Room went around their helmet and picked up a Japanese PS2 just for this game and our upcoming review of Front Mission 5 (and many other PS1 SHMUPS only available in Japan). The Thunder Force games from Techno Soft have always been fun shooters because of their intense yet interesting gameplay, excellent music and unique style. They are likeable games that somehow differ from the bullet hell seen in other modern shooters. Sure they still have lots of bad guys that fill the screen with lasers and whatever, but the Thunderforce games have always had that something special. We’re shocked that this game isn’t getting a US release because of the popularity of the previous Thunder Force games on the Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation 1. Thunder Force 3, Thunder Force 4 and 5 (and Thunder Force 2) were a blast to play and it is great to see the series revived

    Sega needs to get a clue and bring this to xbla and psn

    @aleksitanninen it’s possible since Sony is making a ton of import shooters never released in the west available on PSN.

    You’re a funny game reviewer! Keep it up, and yes I sure wish that TF7 would come out on the new systems…. WHY DON’T THEY MAKE IT YET?!! -___-

    Think they will release this for psn or xbox live arcade?.

    The more I look at this game (I only got to play it once before my J-Capable PS2 died out), the more it just felt like Sega did a cut-and-paste from TFs 4 and 5 (with a little bit of 3), since what was left of Technosoft wasn’t involved.

    Always appreciated that every TF always had the same game over jingle, though

    All parties involved are the evil fetus’s for not releasing this outside of Japan.

    Please Sony, Microsoft or Sega…please…us fans not in Japan are begging you to port this over onto your download services!

  10. The computer voice reminds me of the Portal turrets

  11. Could some one point me to the right direction of where I could download the pc game of Broken Thunder?!
    I would love to try it.
    I’ve searched everywhere, emule, torrents, pirates bay, iso hunt, search engines, etc… But with no luck!

    Any help will be highly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

  18. firesoul453 /

    They should make one of these for the ps3 (and don’t bother with 360)
    Ps3 is more than 100 times as powerful as a ps2 (depends on how you calculate it) so the game would be amazing!

  19. bandman232 /

    I was FURIOUS when I found out this wasnt comeing to the US.
