This game is not going to win any awards for being new or innovative, but Sunsoft does manage to introduce some new and genuinely playable twists to the standard action/shooting theme. Nothing incredible, but a nice game in the end.

While Silius doesn't have the big name on the game as Batman did, this soft should stand as a good game on it's own. All of the qualities of a decent shooter are here, challenging game play, decent variety of backgrounds, and a good difficulty curve, though set a bit too easy.

Although they stripped the Terminator title from this game, Silius is going to be one of those sleeper hits this year. Like Batman, while the graphics are small in scale this allows more variety in backgrounds and game play. 'Killer' bosses and a jammin' soundtrack are high points.

Lucy meets Star Wars! A good action adventure game with great music and standard enemy opposition! Typical "ROSS" enemies throughout as well as storyline intermissions. If you can't kill'em, mak'em laugh!

Millions of light years away from Earth there exists a planet called Silius. Now in ruins because of a terrible war Silius has been taken over by a ruthless band of intergalactic terrorists who are threatening the peace of the universe. It is your job to clean up the planet, destroy the alien terrorists, and take on the huge bosses who have surrounded themselves with nearly invincible armament and are dug in to battle to the finish.
