Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Vertical scrolling shoot 'em up from Konami featuring some decent graphics and audio effects. It's the usual affair: blasting waves of enemies; collecting power-ups and shooting down bosses. The difficulty in the later stages proved to be particularly oppressive, especially if you don't select and upgrade the auto-fire cannon; I foresee crippling RSI in your future if you choose anything but this.

Other than that, Lightning Fighters has some cool sprite scaling effects, with waves of enemy fighters whizzing over the top of the player's craft, and production values, as expected for Konami, are really good in general. It's not the best game in it's class, but it's certainly up there, so definitely worth a look.
