Is Super Air Zonk as bad as it looks?

I'm a big fan of the original air zonk (still kinda regret selling off my turbo stuff :(), but anyways, have been thinking about getting the sequel on the wii virtual console - but after checking it out on youtube though - I am not sure the game even warrants a $8 download.

Is this game even remotely fun? the original was oozing with personality, the sequel looks unbelievably lackluster. or am I missing something here?

The Hu rev is the definitive version, INMHO.

Can't stand Super...is a surprise development, the CD rev has shite music compared to the Hu.

My cute-em'-up of choice on VC Star Parodia. Hope this helps!

The game was thrown together and feels very rushed. The weapons are lame the game is much easier than the original one. The CD tracks arent very inspiring. It seems like they were forced to release something that just to cash in on the franchise. I'd say its worth one play. I used to own CD Denjin on PCE but sold it after running through the game. There is 0% replay value.

thanks guys, this pretty much confirms what I was suspecting. Looks like I'll pass for now and probably am not missing too much :)

I've played both. Skip Super. Air Zonk is one of my favorite games of all time but Super was a big letdown.

Didn't enjoy it too much myself. For cute 'em ups, I recommend one of the last two Parodius games.
