There is simply nothing wrong about it. Even the music is awesome and original. Fast, great graphics, tough but not R-Type tough and addictive. Weapons are well balanced and the over all experience is beautiful. Atmosphere is beyond cool and the whole game seems ahead of its time and it uses the limited Genesis' system resources beautifully.

Amazing, genre defining horizontal shooter from 1992. The gameplay, graphics, and music will subvert your expectations on what to expect from a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game. If you're a Sega fan, even if you don't usually play horizontal shooters, you must try this masterpiece.

I enjoyed the Thunderforce series on the Genesis. Really, I enjoyed Thunderforce III, so when I saw Lightening Force at a pawn shop years back, I thought the it had a connection with the Thunder series so I picked it up. It is actually the fourth game in the series and I would say the best despite being a lesser known title. Lightening Force had some of the best graphics available on the Genesis. The worlds were methodically detailed and the special effects of the weapons available were incredible. The music gave it a space opera feel, much like the Gradius series on the NES and SNES. Of the all the Thunderforce games on the Genesis, Lightening Force had the most refined game play. The ship didn't feel like moving a bathtub like in Thunderforce II and it didn't feel twitchy like in Thunderforce III. Compared to the Gradius series, the weapon selection is a little sparce, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment. For a game that I heard next to nothing about and happen to see at a pawn shop, Lightening Force was a diamond in the rough. Anyone who loves the old school shoot'em ups of that era would be missing out if they never played this game. I am definately glad I had the good fortune to find this game well before Ebay made finding obscure games much easier.Read full review

Remember this game from my childhood. It was a great pick. Wonderful music for a 16-bit game. Very difficult. A+Start for the options menu. Classic game. Must have for horizontal shooter fans.
