Soldier Force, Tails Force, Tiger Force, Eagle Force, Blaster Force, Urchin Force, Crab Force - Seven Force is literally SEVEN boss fights all rolled into one. Each one is different from the last, with fresh attack patterns and plenty of new ways to make your character yelp. The rapidity with which the battle progresses requires players to respond on-the-fly with new tactics to emerge victorious - and all this comes after a legitimately frantic and bullet-filled stage. When it's all said and done and you get ahold of that crystal, there is certainly a sense of relief - but there is also the lingering buzz of adrenaline that quietly whispers that you just experienced something awesome.
