Editorial Review
Strider first slashed his way into American homes in the '80s, with his self-titled release for the classic NES. After a subsequent appearance on the Genesis, Strider Hiryu disappeared from game consoles--until now. Strider is back in a truly old-school action game that will please fans of 2-D classics. Upon first play, Strider 2 may seem like a mindless slashorama, with enemies coming at players from all sides. But there's more to Strider than brainless brutality. Hiryu can also jump, double jump, kick off of walls, slide, and cling to almost everything, which makes it possible to avoid most foes, with practice. For better or worse, Capcom makes it easy for players to blow through this game by way of unlimited continues that let Strider start from the very point where he died. Luckily, players are graded at the end of each level, giving at least some incentive to perform well. --Robb Guido Pros: - Vivid graphics and huge bosses
- Old-school action that requires players to learn the movements of enemies
Cons: - Players can essentially cheat their way through the game because of unlimited continues

 One of THE best games for the Playstation! August 30, 2006
This is one game that I can play over and over and not get tired of. The action is fast and furious. The controls are spot-on. This is how a video game should be made. The graphics is not the greatest but, hey, this is a 32-bit game. If you are a fan of arcade games, then you MUST get this one. I'm glad that I got it. This is game is short compared to other games but you can play it over and over. Also, you get the first Strider! My hat's off to Capcom for coming out with this one with a bonus game. This game must be rare because I had a hard time finding a copy that suited my collector's standards. Too bad they don't have this game on a next-generation console because I consider this one of Capcom's greatest games. So if you own a Playstation One, you owe it to yourself to get one.

Strider 2 - Circa 2000
GOOD:
- Good/Tight controls
- Fast and fun gameplay
- Comes packed with original Strider
BAD:
- Pretty dated graphics even for when it was released
- Few levels make a short game
WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
- 2D side-scroller, with liner levels, but backgrounds are 3D
- Straightforward classic arcade gameplay
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Strider
- Mega Man X4 (playing as Zero and not Mega Man)
- Castlevaina: symphony of the night
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Most levels are more like remakes of the classic Strider levels
- Unlock Strider nemesis (the other or "bad" Strider) after beating the game

I don't actually have this game.I just gave it five stars because it looks cool and I have an action figure of Strider. So to all of you that have strider 2..... and you hardly play it anymore, please put on amazon.com. I'd really appreciate it because I've looked everywhere and couldn't find it. Just so you know............. I REALLY MEAN THIS,NO JOKES. THIS IS FROM THE BOTTM OF MY HEART. Peace and god bless. =0 =).

It's about time Strider came back and I'm glad to see Capcom put some effort into this one. The control is dead-on and the graphics are great. If you wanna be cheap and use as many continues as you can, you'll beat it in half an hour. If you limit your continues, however, you'll find that this game is much harder to master. Buy it.
The most fun game I've played in a long time November 25, 2000

I never played the original Strider, but I loved this game. Okay, so I could beat in under an hour, but I kept coming back for more. It is one of those games that you will return to after you beat it over and over again. It is almost too easy however, so it can be beaten in at least an hour. That is what keeps this game from getting five stars. Be warned that if you like spectacular graphics, you will be very dissapointed. However, this game proves that games with okay graphics can sometimes be the most fun.
