The game is based on player vs. player combat. The graphics are bright and bold, and in my opinion are quite excellent for the time period. The games controls
are easy to pick up and play but are hard to fully master. The sound in Virtual On Cyber Trooper: Operation Moon Gate is pretty good as well, having decent songs, that range from rock to disco like beats. The sound effects are well done as well, immersing you in the world that is virtual on.
This game is very big in Japan because of the anime companies and their fondness of giant robots. The game became an instant classic. PC version and Sega version of the game were made from the original arcade and sold million all over the continental US. Many Virtual On Cyber Trooper: Operation Moon Gate arcades can still be found at game shops or in arcades, like laser tron for instance. Although the arcade version doesn’t provide the gamer with a clear and focused story line, the games fast paced action and its counter system make up in that department.
I recommend this game for any one who has the slightest interest in giant robots, fighting games, or games in which you fight other people not just the computer. This games original game play will make a lasting impression on you, in a good way. Those are all the good things about the game, now for the not so good things, after about the second robot that you fight in single player mode, the CPUs intelligence goes up and the game begins to get very hard. The robots that you fight in cannot be customized in any way. It takes a bit of playing to get good at using some robots. You might also get discouraged after the second robot because of the difficulty level. Overall I give Virtual On: Cyber Trooper Operation Moon gate an 8 out of 10
