Title: Games Like 'Steel Force'
Post by: Woodshop Flunky on July 29, 2011, 03:55:34 pm

Found this game, 'Steel Force', and I like it a lot.  Saw some recommended games in MAWS, but they didn't seem to have this sort of feel.  Do you guys have any recomendations for games similar to this one?

Ah!  I remember my brother and I playing that as kids!  I know we at least had Loaded and Reloaded.  I don't know how I'd feel about them now but I remember they were a lot of fun when I was younger.

Crack Down is worth a look.

How about Neo Contra for PS2?  It was pretty maligned because it didn't live up to Shattered Soldier but was pretty fun.  It's super easy on 1 player and you should be able to S rank the game in a day or so, but it's kind of hard on multiplayer.
You may also appreciate Alpha Squad in the indie games section of XBLA if you have an Xbox.  It's got a lot of polish for an indie game. 
Cheers,
