1942 is the adaptation of a game from the arcade in the eighties. It is about a vertical shot’ em up with scrolling where you will have to exterminate hordes of planes which will arrive of everywhere. When you cut down a series of planes, item will be allotted to you, often to gain in fire power. It is possible for you to carry out loops which will return to you temporarily inaccessible to the enemy shootings.
Graphics is not of the first freshness. Animation is minimal, but the scrolling is fluid, even with a heap of enemies to the screen. The music does not draw at all part of the sound capacities from the portable. The lifespan is suitable but the rather repetitive principle. Remain traditional kind with a constant action.
