(Please forgive the hyperbole. :))

Do you remember when arcade games ruled your world? When the blisters on your fingers testified to your mastery over alien hordes? Alawar Entertainment is proud to present Crusaders of Space 2, an exhilarating shooter that combines retro-arcade action with modern innovations to create a gameplay experience that transcends time.

You're a space jockey on a mission to eliminate alien foes across the galaxy. Your arsenal includes primary weapons and devastating missile attacks. You can also catch powerups that drop down from above, including weapons that will poison the invaders or freeze them in their tracks. Between stages, you can purchase various ship enhancements and devise strategies for taking out the game's massive bosses. Just don't let your gorgeous commanding officer distract you from your duties!

Featuring stunning visuals and rich audio, COS2 shows how the classics are just as compelling and addictive today as when the pioneers of video gaming first gave them form.

I usually really dig these games. But this one just played lousy on my system. Just too sluggish - from the start, to the cut scenes (*really* slow) and everything in between. The loading screen was off a bit (the back image wasn't sized correctly)(. Misbehaved a bit on exit too (taking quite some time to truly give me back a proper desk top).

Good idea and looked good - I liked the health meter above the invaders - seemed to work well for me. But could play alot smoother.

Played well here. Had some bugs trying to shut it down. Esc key didn't bring up typical in game menu so alt-tabbed away from it, then when tried to alt-tab back to it wouldn't open, then right clicked on it in system tray and selected close and nothing happened. Finally had to terminate it from task manager and was still stubborn.
