Metamor Jupiter is an unusual shoot'em up by Nec Home Electronics and
Flight Plan. Your ship is a sort of organic entity which can transform
into three different shapes, each of them having its own weapon system. A rain
of blue comets are hurling towards the earth and they carry with them an alien
invasion. Your mission, as you would have expected, it to stop it and destroy
the core of the alien forces. The game starts in the comet field and offers
great and amazing visuals.

Metamor Jupiter, as far as I know, was the first game created by
Flight Plan for the PC Engine. This company is also well known for creating the
Black Matrix RPG series for the Playstation, Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation2
and Gameboy Advance.

Metamor Jupiter is a one of a kind shooter, and
this is what I usually like about the PC Engine system. I have never
seen something like Metamor Jupiter before and I will probably
never again. It sometimes reminds me games like Taito's Metal Black,
games that are innovative rather than just following the mould set by others.
But Metamor Jupiter is not exempt of defaults, the weapon system can be
a bit awkward especially the way you have to switch from on ship to another.
But it offers some incredible moments, I personnally like the first stage with
all the blue comets in the background, or the second stage with the gorgeous
space ship armada. Sadly the difficulty is not evenly balanced, some stages
can be very frustrating. But all in all, Metamor Jupiter is, I think,
a nice shooter and will offers a great challenge for any fan of the genre.
