VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Air Tornado is an oddity. Hailing from a dusty style and stuffed with alien sights and sounds, it is neither old-school nor new-school. Even its graphics, fashionable however removed from cutting-edge, place it in a bizarre limbo. But, regardless of its strangeness and incongruities, it largely works. Whereas the sport’s core mechanics are moderately shallow and its visible property unimpressive, it succeeds in replay worth, boss battles, and music. Followers of rail shooters and Suzuki’s early arcade work ought to give this oddball an opportunity.”
