Strider 2 (PS1) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@NintendoComplete]

Okay, so Tomba and Klonoa are great PS1 platforming games, but I'd take Strider 2 over those any day. It''s classic gameplay gussied-up with Capcom's loudest and gaudiest 90s finery, and it's completely mindblowing.

[@DamnDealDone]

It's easy to the point of being tedious. There's no fun without even a slight bit of difficulty.

I'm a really big fan of the 2014 Strider and it's fascinating to see and hear so many things it was influenced by in this game!

[@shamthegamer12]

Really? Elaborate please. (Currently doing a 2nd run on Strider 2014)

[@GuyFromRedBank]

Ah, memories. Back when Capcom was cool.

[@TheAngelmisa]

StudMuffinTwelve I think capcom is still awesome

[@GuyFromRedBank]

I' am shock!!!

[@Bloodreign1]

But still not perfect, they goofed on both discs labeling, the games are on the opposite disc of where they are supposed to be. These days though, Capcom are far, far worse. Konami is in that same boat as them. And that boat's sinking slowly.

[@gchijioke12]

Capcom was on fire in the 90s

[@liamhopkins-4037]

Speaking of capcom and Konami, they should make a crossover between mega man and castlevania

[@Bloodreign1]

Back again, I remember after buying it, I showed it off to an old high school buddy of mine, he was floored by the between stages artwork. He knew of Strider, but not the sequel. He had a similar moment when I played Puchi Carat off of Taito Legends 2, he loved the anime artwork, as he loves action anime as well.

[@StephenYuan]

Interesting mixture of 3d models with sprites. You don't see many games that look like this.

[@LPetal86]

Would love to see this updated where they removed the loading times between sections of a stage, and that's just nitpicking because this was original PSX and Capcom went all-out on this. It seems like true passion going into games seems to be more and more rare these days compared with what we got 20 years ago.

[@Bloodreign1]

Paid $35 for this, but accidentally set an Ebay max bid to $1,300 (it was supposed to be $13.00, but I forgot the decimal point, whoops, could've been a nightmare). Needless to say I was a bit flabbergasted when I got home after work and see it got that high ($35), but thankfully someone didn't keep bumping the bid higher. Week later I had my copy arrive in the mail and in my hands at long last, and seeing how much the game goes for these days, 35 wasn't so bad.

[@NintendoComplete]

Bloodreign1 Nah, that's a pretty good deal for sure

[@Bloodreign1]

Looking back, it sure was. However I wish I had the Japanese one, there's speech between the levels, though you won't understand a thing they are saying, but it still sounds pretty cool.

Gotta throw the Saturn into the mix as well, that system got a lot of nice stuff from Capcom.

This is the best Game ever but it could be more difficult especially Hien and the bosses. I always wanted to use all of Hiens attack but you could just throw his Blades and not to the CrossSwordBeam and the blink slash with his swords. IM waiting for Strider 3

[@Emberson-9000]

I know this was 4 years ago, but I hope that you've discovered the 2014 reboot since then. It's fantastic. Not quite Strider 3, but more Strider is always welcome.

[@vergo1259]

@@Emberson-9000 the reboot isn't even close to this game. it does not share the soul of the game, the athmosphere, the lore and deepth.

[@ramonantoniodejuanbennett6239]

The PS3 game MOONDIVER originally supposed to be Strider 3, but Square Enix couldn't get the rights to use the Strider name. The same creator and the Strider team went over the Square Enix cause Capcom wasn't on board with Strider 3, so they got Square Enix to release it as Moon Diver. It's set 200 years after Strider 1 & 2.

[@agreedboarart3188]

[@wtfu812omg]

Wow this is a ps1 gem

[@MikeThePsykat]

Honestly, this game feel more like a Starfox 64 esc retelling of the original game's story rather then a part 2. You not only have the same Strider, Hiryu (yes, I know he's a clone in this one) fighting the master, but you've also got the return of the poo (at least, that's how this game spells it) sisters (from the end of the second level in the first game) and the bounty hunter solo. Also, the Balrog airship and the 3rd moon death star clone space station are back too. Heck, the only thing in the actually game's story (at least, that's presented to you in game) that tells you that this is a continuation is that when the Master says at the end "Could you be?! Are you that Hiryu?! The one who appeared before me almost two thousand years ago, before I took this world?! Are you going to Finish what you couldn't do back then?!". You could remove this part and the game's story would still function just fine as a sort of reboot. Ok, sure they gave you a new rival character in the form of Hien, but, since I already compared this to Starfox 64, I think that only strengthens my point. On another note, Hien to me feels like Capcom was making a statement on the US Gold Produced non canon sequel. In that game, you play as a different Strider, code named Hinjo, who wears white, but, maybe I'm reading too much into that.

[@persona83]

This 2000 year BS is the only thing that bothers me in this otherwise great game. They could have gone a little less fantastic, like some 200 or 500 years ahead. For a 2000 years in the future, Earth is pretty much the same it was in 2048.

[@Hijynx87]

This looks even better than the Stider that JUST came out O_O.

[@FreshPrincex4]

Hijynx87 they're both awesome tbh The 2014 game gives you that Ultimate Anime feel while this classic gives you that Manga feel in my opinion

[@sdlock83]

This one and the original was Japan-developed. The new one released during the PS3 era was outsourced to the West.

[@ExtremeWreck]

Yes, it does look better than the new one to me, though we can all say that they both look so much better than the Sega Genesis Strider 2 which I bet Capcom doesn't even want people to know about, & also wants the people who DO know about that one forget about it's existence.

[@jamesmoss3424]

@@apocalypticash1242 you should play OSMAN, the same creator of Strider(it was supposed to be Strider 2, but the company didn't have the rights to the name). That game is awesome and plays the same way. Capcom later made it officially canon as a prequel.
