Product Description:
From the creators of the popular racing series Gran Turismo comes the space-action sci-fi shooter Omega Boost. This futuristic game pits you against a sinister computer virus named Alphacore. To conquer Alphacore, you must pilot an armed free-floating robot named Omega Boost through 19 diverse zones and, ultimately, travel back in time to stop Alphacore from changing history. Basically, the gameplay of Omega Boost is incredibly straightforward. Simply blow up each enemy that stands in your way. Enemies come in all shapes, sizes, and strengths. We were impressed with the amount of detail put into each enemy--in fact, we often paused the game so that we could better examine each enemy being blown to smithereens. Each zone has a collection of small enemies, a sub- boss, and a boss to conquer.

As you progress in the game, you can customize and upgrade your equipment. In champion mode, you will have to finish a level with a good enough destroy rate before you will be allowed to advance. This game also includes a replay mode, which will allow you to leisurely view highlights of your most intense battles.
While this game may be pretty to look at, the controls can be difficult to master. You'll definitely need to check out the training zones in order to properly learn how to navigate your hunk of junk metal. We became dizzy from the rotating 3-D and 360-degree environments, which can make your control seem more complicated during a busy barrage of enemy fire from all directions. --Carrie Bell
Pros: - Interesting plot
- Detailed spaceships and explosions
- Full 3-D, 360-degree rotating action
Cons: - Shooting action can get repetitious
- May cause dizziness

if you like fast paced 360 degree action and big explosions, this is it. i bought this years ago when i was a kid and this game first came out; bought a PS2 recently and decided this game was worth buying again. you WILL NOT be disappointed in this arcade 3rd person shooter. Awesome soundtrack by Static-X goes along great with this theme as well. Alot of origional ideas at hand here (there needs to be an Omega Boost 2!) a must buy for any PSX owner.

Omega Boost is an okay game. The graphics are probably the best on PlayStation, rivaling Final Fantasy VII. The music is cool at the beginning, but later okay. The gameplay is not too bad, but could be worse. After you beat it , there is not much left after.

Well, most of us know about the great Playstationg titles. final fantasy, tekken, Metal Gear Solid. But there are titles out there that are every bit as good, yet never get the attention that they deserve. Omega Boost is one of those games.
This game has it all. The story is pretty decent. I won't spoil it here. The graphics are gorgeous. Absoloutly incredable, just be sure that when you play this game for the first time, you play it with no one else around, lest someone accidently ... Read More

One of those rare cases where a game developer doesn't compromise gameplay in favour of graphics. Omega Boost gets the best of both worlds. Though the 360-degree environment can make you dizzy, the addition of the "face forward" button drastically improves ease of controls. And the backgrounds and characters look sharp but remain responsive, which makes for a great fast-paced shooter.
If anything, I might have wished there would be a little more diversity in terms of weapons, levels, missions ... Read More
