The fourth Strike game, and also the first to be made for 5th generation consoles. This has the same great gameplay of the earlier games with the improvements to graphics and music that you'd expect, and a little more emphasis on story, told with new FMV cut scenes. Soviet Strike was initially a PS1 port, but unlike most ports to Saturn this version was actually improved, with some new graphical elements added like improved lighting.

Those afraid that the old 2D style platformers would die out under a mass of new 3D games had their fears put to rest with this great early platformer. Rayman has some truly fantastic, sumptuous backgrounds and art design, with the Rayman character himself being quite a likeable, well designed hero. The levels are well thought out, and kept fresh by the fact that you gain new moves as you progress through the game. Hard as hell though!

Manx TT was just one of the many good arcade racers Sega were churning out back in the mid 90s and ended up being ported to the Saturn pretty well, with nice graphics and a good frame rate. Those who are familiar with Sega's arcade games will know the score here, you race around the tracks (this time on a bike) aiming to hit each check point before the timer runs out, if that happens its instant game over. Sadly, what makes a great arcade game doesn't always translate to the home though, which is why Manx TT has dropped places a bit, it really should've had some extra modes and tracks added to it as its a little short on longevity overall for its period.

A very accurate port of Sega's arcade game, Decathlete is your general Track N' Field style game, with updated 3D graphics and some more in depth rules.

A very fun, brainless 3D beat-em-up where you run around the stages punching out the bad guys and picking up and using a plethora of different objects scattered around the ground. The fighting system is very fluid, and feels very solid, giving the game very high pick up and play value.

Multi-directional scrolling shmup where you play as a tank. Guardian Force is very much a welcome diversion from the hoards of spaceship shooters on the Saturn, apart from the change of theme, and scenery, you have the unique ability to turn the turrets around independently to fire in one direction whilst moving in another. The usual elements of a good shmup still apply, loads of action, great boss fights, 2-player co-op, and some exciting set pieces.

At last, after years of hiatus came the long awaited true sequel to Bubble Bobble. Bubble Symphony did not disappoint, it carries on the excellent simplistic gameplay of the original, whilst adding some small yet notable new elements, such as multiple endings, the choice of what paths and levels you want to play, and the dragons gaining new charge-up abilities. Taito also gave the presentation the kind of overhaul you'd expect, and even infused the game with huge levels of fan service, with many of the stages and bosses based off of classic games from the companies history.

Sim City returns with masses, and masses of more stuff, and a new futuristic style. As usual the game becomes totally engrossing for anyone who puts the time in, and the hours burn away in no time. The Saturn version is very good, but as is the case with a lot of these strategy games it loses a few points due to the lack of mouse.

This stars the character from an older game from Warp "D", and has similar interactive FMV based puzzle adventure gameplay, but this time with specific 1st person shooter style sections. The horror vibe is very well played, with occasional gore and a very real sense of dread throughout, but the rigid controls and slow paced gameplay may not be for everyone.

Gungriffon is a 1st person mission based mech game. Unlike a lot of the mech games of the time it mainly emphasises fast action, shooting based gameplay. It has you piloting a fairly manoeuvrable mech that can jump high up into the air raining death on those below, generally creating carnage and blowing stuff up (though later levels do require more careful strategy). Its a little bit short, but is a fun game, and runs very well with smooth movement, decent draw distance and a good frame rate.
