As one of the final bosses in Deadly Alliance, it just didn’t feel the same.
It’s just too bad that once games were on discs and had loading times, Shang’s tendency to morph mid-match took a powder. While lesser on the totem pole in later games, Shang Tsung regaining his youth made for a good trade. Then Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa played the HELL out of him in the movie and his legendary status was solidified. Even though he was turning into other playable characters, the insinuation was that you were more or less fighting all the dead warriors from the years that he had absorbed into his being. A shape-shifter was a fantastic gimmick for a final boss, especially since it jibed with his tendency to eat souls. Surely, that at least had to mean that Shang Tsung was a special kind of threat in his own way. Mortal Kombat’s attract mode sold the game by going, “Yo, check out this huge claymation beast with his four arms and topknot! He will break you in half if you even blink!” But this unstoppable monster was actually second to some floating geezer. I do really get a kick out of how one of his King of Fighters intros has him throw a non-descript martial artist to the ground before jumping into the fight, like it’s his regular thing to kick some schmuck’s ass and take their spot in a tournament. Just brutal karate with his flashiest move being a flipping legdrop. No fireballs or energy explosions or anything like that. Intrusion 2 is a hilarious arcade title that emulates the games from fifteen years ago whilst adding a modern twist to further increase the fun.Silber also appeared as a hidden mid-boss in King of Fighters XI, but his fighting style lacks anything really bombastic. Along with the normal enemies, of course, you can also find some bosses that take up most of the screen and prove to be far more difficult to dispose of. In some of the levels, you get to use various vehicles and robots that give you the chance to move around the screen in a machine of mass destruction killing hundreds of enemies, and thus having even more fun. For example, you can grab boxes and throw them to kill your enemies, or use a hook to drag them closer before administering the killer blow. The difference of course is that in Intrusion 2, physics takes on an even greater importance. The gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of classic games such as Ghosts'n'Goblins, Metal Slug and Strider, with 2D landscapes to race through while using various weapons to see off all the enemies that get in your way. By taking all the best elements from the classic 16-bit era games for a retro feel, and adding some modern touches of brutality, this game provides a unique experience that has the power to leave its audience reeling. Intrusion 2 is the perfect combination of action and 2D platform game.
