G Vector is a 3D, third-person shmup that reminds of games like Space Harrier and Panzer Dragoon.
You are equipped with both a standard shot and a lock-on laser, and you move a reticle across the screen and target enemies. The 3D is serviceable and the action is fast-paced.
You have some shield power so you aren’t a one hit wonder, but should you die, even at the stage boss, it’s back to the beginning for you! Another expensive Japan-only Saturn title, but a good one.
A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
