Dear Reader:
Flying Warriors - review
A portion from a NintendoLife review...
Flying Warriors comes as an ever-so-slight improvement to the original NES entry in the Hiryū no Ken series. The shortcomings of the first NES title have been addressed with more tolerable controls, enhanced visuals and animations – making battles less frustrating, and a smoother transition from mode to mode. Sadly though, the platform sections are once again likely to deter most players from delving any deeper with an overwhelming amount of enemies attacking the player from all directions for the entire game. That's not enough to discourage warrior Rick Stalker though, with the game over statement, "I won't stop at this" every time he loses a life. Whether or not you share his dogged enthusiasm is down to personal preference, however – this isn't a totally unlikable game, but it's certainly not a vintage classic that anyone should get all misty-eyed about.'
