Download 2 is an horizontal shooter published by Nec Avenue
and sequel of a HuCard game originally released in 1990.
Nec Avenue certainly acknowledged that the game's
best asset was the unique and innovative ability to jack-in and dive
into computerized cyber-space worlds.
This sequel follows the same formula but also features probably
one of most electrifying storyline ever written for a video game.
The brain of Adolf Hitler has been digitized inside a computer
mainframe by terrorists and Syd, an elite cyber-diver and protagonist
of the game, embarks on a perilous journey to stop and destroy the incoming threat.
On board his ship and helped by the cute Deva, Syd flies
through nine enemy infested areas and dives into abstract and challenging
cyber worlds. Four different weapons are available to him
at the press of a button - multiway Vulcan-gun, wide laser-beams,
spread homing-lasers and a short-range lightning gun.
Each weapon can be powered-up a grand total of three times by collecting
"P" pods that appear on the screen whereas "S" pods increase
the overall speed of the ship. Other special items are available throughout
the game such as smart-bombs and protective shields.

Download 2 is a fast and intense shooter and if you are fan of the
first episode, then you will feel right at home!
Like its predecessor, Download 2 still suffers from some
mild inconsistency in design and quality. Graphics are good overall and, this time around,
the Virtual Worlds don't look as abstract as before. They
use a distinct theme rather than flashy, epileptic and saturated colors.
Download 2 various animated cutscenes have
also been taken beyond what you would expect and are a great achievement.
The same applies to the wicked and catchy soundtrack. Only the
game's storyline will make you pause intently and think - "oh wow" -
I was sort of mesmerized (in a weird sort of way) the first time I reached the last
stage and traveled inside Adolf Hitler's digitized brain.
That's unusual gaming, really. Download 2 is not the
best shooter for the system, but it's a unique and yet challenging
experience.
