Full Force Squadron

Full Force Squadron is a 1994 video game developed by Operation: V.T.M., & published by Game Entertainment for the Sega Genesis exclusively in North America under the Beamtec label. It's based off the film of the same name by Filmerton in 1993. The game is a space shooter. It isn't to be confused with the SNES game also based on the film, "Super Full Force Squadron".

Plot
Same plot as the movie: In 2086, There are several cells that have been used to power the Phase Shield. The cells haven't been touched in 500 years 'till out of planet Oridion, a group of solar dragons known as the, "Dragonoid Group", steal the cells, & leave the shield useless against enemies of Mars. On Mars, where people civilised the place, a space group called the, "SSRT(Super Space Research Team)" discover that the cells are gone, & they need to find them. The new government that has been done on Mars also finds that out, & tells everybody that the cells are gone. Now, the SSRT must find them, & get them back from the Solar Dragons of planet Oridion.

Gameplay
The game plays in 3 different styles, a horizontal space shooter, a platformer, & a top down shooter. There are 3 levels to choose at the beginning, & after the level you choose, you'll go to a different branching path of others all of which depend on the level you choose. There's also 2 different endings you can get, the good ending which is just like the ending in the film, & the bad ending. The horizontal space shooters play like Gradius with 6 powerups to collect, & to switch to on the fly with the X & Z buttons. You can also upgrade them 2 times for more power within them. The platformer sections have you shoot with the B button, & to jump with the C button. The top down shooter levels play similar to Crack Down except without the explosions, but rather in some areas you have different missions like either defeating a boss, finding a key, etc.

Reception
The game was receieved very well by both reviewers, & ciritcs alike with EGM giving it a 96% saying that, "The Genesis game is much more fun than the bland SNES game, & is worth playing to see all the levels."
