| rdfs:comment | - Blazing Star (ブレイジングスター, Bureijingu Sutã) is a 1998 scrolling shooter video game for the Neo Geo home game system. It is the spiritual sequel to the acclaimed Neo Geo shooter Pulstar, which was itself a close cousin to the R-Type franchise. A typically hefty Neo Geo ROM at 346 Mb, the game makes extensive use of pseudo-3D prerendered sprites, brief anime and CGI cutscenes (mostly during the intro sequence), and frequent Engrish voice samples and captions. While Blazing Star is certainly a cut above a number of other shooters, some fans compare it unfavorably with Pulstar on the basis that Blazing Star was "dumbed down" in terms of difficulty and there are those that prefer the simpler 2D sprite look over the pre-rendered sprites that came to dominate many of the more recent shoot-em-ups.
