Personal review

"Ultraman: Kaijuu Teikoku no Gyakushuu" is the first Ultraman videogame. First task in every level is to build up your power bar via collecting energy balls. So you are running and shooting enemies and try to find and collect the energy balls. Once the bar is complete you are ready to transform into Ultraman and challenge the end boss of each level in hand to hand combat. The game is really average. While the platform/shooting parts are playable the boss fights suffer from bad controls. Each level has different graphics but plays very similar (except for two levels which are pure horizontal-scrolling shooting parts) and the graphics are not very detailed.
