Well here's a story of Capcom not pissing off fans for a change. Strider has now finally been rebooted but it's been a long treacherous adventure. The game was originally supposed to be a gritty reboot made by the guys who made that awful Bionic Commando reboot. After poor sales of that game Strider was cancelled. But fan forums,petitions, and requests have finally made this game a reality. Thanks is also in part to Double Helix the short lived kings of reboots ever since their acquisition from Amazon stopped them from making multi-platform games (guys behind the Killer Instinct reboot) So let's see how it is shall we?
Damn. Strider is a reboot everyone asked for and delivered pretty much what everyone asked for despite the occasional flaw. Strider brings the classic platforming and insane bosses to a new audience but keeping the pizazz that the older games had. This is a keeper ladies and gentlemen and with an average score of 8 out of 10 and praise from GameInformer, Polygon, and Destructoid for having great mechanics it looks like this is the reboot we always dreamed of.
Overall get this game.
Strider is rated E10+.
