The Rayforce series is a state of the art for its time both artistically and gameplay-wise, and does a lot of things better than shmups do today.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 51 sampled reviews raised it
Many are likely to agree that RayForce - aka Layer Section, Gunlock, and the lame Galactic Attack; is this a record for alternate titles? - is still the best of the trilogy, even just by virtue of its superb 2D pixel art graphics, which also make great use of parallax and scaling effects, looking in some ways more three-dimensional than many 2.5D games.
