Genre enthusiasts, both young and old, are certain to enjoy Super Hydorah. This throwback covers all of the bases in exemplary fashion. Although there are a rather large number of stages, they're appropriately paced and creatively designed. The action never gets repetitive, nor does the difficulty ever become unbalanced. A checkpoint-based STG isn't easy to pull off, which makes this title all the more impressive. Although, anyone interested in checking out the Xbox One version should seriously consider investing in a good arcade stick. The stock controller is woefully inadequate for shmups.
