Some players are going to be put off by the lack of obscene power-ups and choice of only two available weapons, but others are going to be drawn in by the thinking man’s combat system, along with the relaxed and pure style of the gameplay. This is where Border Down excels. Dodging bullets, shooting aliens, owning the bosses and racking up the scores.

Border Down just about holds its own. But against more extensive examples of the genre such as "R-Type Final," it's definitely lacking. [Dec 2003, p.118]

There is much to be enjoyed, but the action never really panics; always short of the digital rage that makes your hands sweat. And a shooter that doesn't scare just isn't doing its job. [Dec 2003, p.105]
