PS2 The Uchuu Daisensou - SP2000 Vol. 78 - New Import

After an alien invasion decimates the population of the Earth, the remaining survivors marshal all of their technological know-how into six bleeding edge jetfighters capable of taking on the alien creatures. In a tribute to the Afterburner game engine, The Uchuu Daisensou features fast-paced, arcade style aerial combat where alien creatures and bosses are attacked and destroyed in quick succession. The aliens are modeled after insects and crustaceans... but on a massive scale. The pace of play is brisk through 20 missions where gamers defend Earth installations from attack, destroy enemy bases, dogfight, and intercept various alien missions. Twelve types of weapons are available including beam weapons, bombs, vulcan cannons, and streaming missiles which fly towards their targets with billowing vapor trails behind them.    As missions are completed, jets may be upgraded with better engines, more maneuverability, armor, and firepower upgrades. Once a jetfighter is powered up enough, it will be able to throw out 20-30 missiles at a time which fills the screen with a twisty dance of destruction. A barrel roll move be performed as an evasive move to avoid incoming fire.    Along with single player gaming, there's a split-screen 2-player mode where two fighters cooperate to defend the Earth.
