Publisher: Sega of America
Released: 1988
Zillion II: The Tri Formation is an action game and the sequel to the 1987 Sega Master System title called Zillion.
+ Like Alex Kidd, Mario and Zelda's 8-bit sequels, the gameplay is completely different in an attempt to freshen things up.+ Stage 3 has some bright spots, including the multi platform levels that reward skilled players for staying on the top set.
+ Has a fair checkpoint system, and there's some gorgeous artwork with detailed sprites and industrial backdrops.
- On the whole, the level design is painfully average with no standout moments and the action in both stage types is generic.
- Hit box when transforming in to the Armorator is ludicrously large and it's usually impossible to avoid damage.
- Difficulty is artificially inflated by stiff controls and enemies that appear once you've started leaping over a gap.
- Final boss is a cake walk due to simple attack patterns that are noticeable in seconds for a perplexingly easy victory.
