What We Said Then

Jaz: If you're a shoot-'em-up fan who's after a blasting game featuring something other than spaceships, Midnight Resistance is highly recommended.

Midnight Resistance

Matt: It's certainly fun to play and the main sprite is cleverly animated.

What We Say Now

Jaz: This is fun - but what a pushover. It's not at all challenging and can be finished in hours on Easy level. Playability 78%, lastability 68% and overall 72%. The rest of the marks are fine.

Rich: Ruined by the ridiculously easy Easy setting, Midnight Resistance is only just average by today's standards. It's still a pretty good blaster, but some of the newer games offer better blasting at the same price. Deduct 15% from those ratings.
