Omega Boost is an okay game. The graphics are probably the best on PlayStation, rivaling Final Fantasy VII. The music is cool at the beginning, but later okay. The gameplay is not too bad, but could be worse. After you beat it , there is not much left after.

Well, most of us know about the great Playstationg titles. final fantasy, tekken, Metal Gear Solid. But there are titles out there that are every bit as good, yet never get the attention that they deserve. Omega Boost is one of those games.

This game has it all. The story is pretty decent. I won't spoil it here. The graphics are gorgeous. Absoloutly incredable, just be sure that when you play this game for the first time, you play it with no one else around, lest someone accidently step on your jaw when it falls to the floor. The music is very cool too. The intro music rocks big time and the in game stuff is funky. The game itself is just a brainless shoot em up. Like R-type on steroids. and a hundread times more fun. All this stuff combines to give you a great fun game that anyone can play and enjoy.

Give it shot. You'll be glad you did

One of those rare cases where a game developer doesn't compromise gameplay in favour of graphics. Omega Boost gets the best of both worlds. Though the 360-degree environment can make you dizzy, the addition of the "face forward" button drastically improves ease of controls. And the backgrounds and characters look sharp but remain responsive, which makes for a great fast-paced shooter.

If anything, I might have wished there would be a little more diversity in terms of weapons, levels, missions and some kind of a story. Imagine the customizeability of Armored Core coupled with the furious action and beautiful graphics of this game! However, that didn't seem to be the intention of the designers. As an old-fashioned "blow-everything-up" shooter, Omega Boost ranks among the best there is to offer.
