- A playthrough of Activision's 1993 Super NES shoot 'em up, BioMetal.
Played through on the hard difficulty level.
Just like X-Kaliber 2097 that Activision released just a few months after this, BioMetal has a thoroughly awesome licensed soundtrack - this time by 2 Unlimited! So, when you start the game, don't be fooled: you didn't buy Space Jam with the wrong label on the cart. Get Ready for This is actually one of the songs in the game, in fully SNES synth glory.
The game itself is pretty good, though it's not for those that want a game that they can sail through. It's not quite bullet hell, but it gets pretty close by SNES standards. The graphics are REALLY nicely done, with parallax thrown in all over the place to vary the feeling of speed and to add to the overall chaos, and bosses show up in flash effects using heavy sprite scaling and transparencies. The biggest achievement in my mind, though, is that it pushes the SNES as hard as it does with very little sign of flicker or slowdown. Like with the NES, Athena had a pretty good handle on the SNES, and their experience shows. Well worth a play for anyone that wants something a bit derivative, hard as nails, and pretty to look at - just about every aspect oozes with quality.

Finally found this game. Could never remember the name.
Same lol I remember the soundtrack and that was it
Intro reminds me of 2 Unlimited
This game was awesome but super hard after a point
Lol me too
@@duncan3998because it is 2 Unlimited
The intro story as a kid always cracked me up and still does.
"A computer analysis showed that the BM's are increasing in number!"
Bowel movements are totally dangerous! -nods-
Baby Mommas!
Well, you ARE in deep shit considering how difficult the game is...
We paid for the rights to this song so we're going to use it, damn it!
2 UNLIMITED - Get Ready For This
One of the best shooters I ever owned! Music and Gameplay Is still Awesome!
This game is like a reverse Siivagunner rip
A fantastic SNES shooter that constantly floods the screen with sprites yet never seems to choke on slowdown (*ahem* Gradius III and Super R-Type, I'm looking at you here).
That, and you can rock out to the Space Jam song while playing. How random is that?
+NintendoComplete The music at the start got me pumped for the rest of the video :D
+Sylvester Ashcroft The music was pure Space Jam meets Mortal Kombat.
What kind of music do you spect from the company behind Call of Duty xD!
NintendoComplete
Play the super Famicom one, this has a completely different soundtrack.
for one, its not from Space Jam really, its an instrumental adaptation of Y'all Ready For This by Jock Jams, and further the team behind Call of Duty? Activision didnt make this game, they published it, Athena was the developer, also Activision does NOT have a good track record of ANYTHING particularly the CoD games, their largely a blight on the game industry and have watered down the First Person genre because theyve created a false hierarchy where other companies think "to make an FPS that sells, we have to clone CoD" and that has largely been poison for the genre which has to led to a serious decrease in diversity of games
so no, i dont think mentioning CoD is of any substance here
y'all ready for this?
Yeah

Biometal you say? Time for a Megamerge!
Ooh, a jockjams henshin sequence! Sounds fun!
From Megaman ZX. In that game, Vent and Aile acquire the powers of past fallen Reploids through the Biometals, which is the same name as this game.
finally, a comment of culture
i still have this game
The 2 unlimited mudic tracks
Mildly gay
The ost to this game is virtually -identical- to my middle school gym class. O_O
I bought this game for my Snes on a whim and I was not disappointed. It is the best shmup on the Snes without a doubt. I would go as far as to say while it isn't better than the mighty Thunder Force IV for the Genesis it definitely gives it a run for its money in certain spots. What a game!
Ah yes, Jock Jams the video game
This game goes hard
are you rdy for this
Oh shit. Don't forget the spirit fingers, everybody!
Man, I could never get through Stage 3 as a kid xD
The soundtrack is still good 🔥
2 unlimited original sound tracks
It's just SNES arrangements of the 2 Unlimited songs
Wait, why is the final boss a blatant copy of R-Type's Dobkeratops? Also, the mechs in the ending pic look like the one on the box cover of Metal Warriors.
Great video just amazing!! My playthrough I struggled to get to the end boss that I still cant beat I barely have 3 lifes you have 8! Wow just blows my mind GG
Thank you! I'll def agree, it's wicked hard. Too much at times.
While listening to the first stage soungtrack of Biometal- Mortal Kombaaaaaaaat!!!
TWILIGHT ZONE !!! 2 UNLIMITED !! ✌🏻
Here's the question tho, why did they use licensed music in the american release?
They used this music because they thought it would appeal to Americans better and 2Unlimited were big at the time. All part of the consumerism and marketing. Thank the sound engineer and producers for the American release for this mishap because the funny thing is the Japanese original release had better music.
Space shooters were a dime a dozen on the SNES. They probably assumed the new soundtrack would help it stand out, like how that western release of Phalanx had an old dude with a banjo on the cover.
@@LAZY-RUBY That actually makes sense more than the consumerism theory because while both do sound fitting, the idea of licensed music in video games was relatively unheard of at the time(this was before Tony Hawk's Pro Skater popularized that idea, albeit to the fault of resulting in some companies like EA simply just having all of their sports games to have licensed music instead of the great music they had of their own beforehand).
I play this game and realy dont remenber this technohouses musics. Thats realy weird.
Maybe you played the Japanese version. It had a different score
Que a música do grupo de dance Music dos anos 90 2 unlimited está presente nesse jogo é impressionante e ficou sensacional 🥰❤❤🎮🙋♂️
WOW 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So was Gradius has an 2 Unlimited tribute?
This game makes me think of a Xenomorph dressed in a Chicago Bulls uniform.
2 Unlimited
I prefer the original Japanese version, much better and exciting soundtracks, that sick version ...
No one heard of the original music? When I heard the Japanese originals version I felt cheated by the American heads of Nintendo when they gave us the release here. I wished I had grown up to this game with the original score instead. I see people loved this soundtrack. I personally hated what the American counterpart did with the game swapping the original score for a cheap bait to get consumers using 2unlimiteds rise to fame sound to cash in. it just didn’t age well. 2unlimited was good for their 2 hit wonder and though the idea was cool to think what they would do for a video game in terms of their sound, the ended up just recycling catchy sound that made them famous. the sound was a product of the times and this game will be a lifetime and should be uniquely memorable. 2unlimited sound style is too 90’s and didn’t age well for this game. Not to mention it was just practically the same riff and keys recycled in all levels from their main 2 hits. It would have been neat if they did an original soundtrack and not recycle and remix the chords like how Psykosonik (another techno 90’s band) did for anther SNES game X-Kalibur. Prefer the original Biometal music from Japan. Now that is just more unique and still sounds good. Not hating on 2unlimied just rather keep them as the 90’s memory of those classic songs and not re hear it on this cause all I think of is “y’all ready for this” when playing. Doesn’t even go well with the gameplay.
dude the whole soundtrack is jock jams WTF I NEED THIS I got this game confused with that piece of crap Blazeon and passed this up multiple times when I come across the cart :(:(:(
Esse jooj é curtinho inté
spaceship games Are the best
Con esa música ❤❤❤❤
damn good music store, but this game otherwise feels like an inferior/uninspired R-Type/Gradius to me.
Youre inferior
A great looking game, but I'm not a big fan of the music.
hm, lots of flicker and slowdowns. With stage 3 beginning, it looks low budget production.
Are you ready for this?
I don't feel the music goes with this much.They re fantastic renditions just seem outta place here.
LMAO this music isn't actually in the original Japanese version even.
Looks nice game but, as for robo aleste, the music is awful
SpaceJam??
7:50 músic name
Victor Bermudez 2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This
actually its: Jock Jams - Y'all Ready For This but a purely instrumental version
incorrect...its by Jock Jams and called "Y'all Ready For This" its just a version without vocals and poorer music quality, it was a SNES after all, not a live concert, 2 Unlimited made a remix of that, which is probably why you thought it was them but their not the ones who originally made the song
Lavos2007 I do believe that the song was written and preformed by 2 Unlimited. The song came out in 1991. The fist Jock Jam didn't come out till 1995.
i stand corrected, just went and double checked that, odd, i looked it up prior (when i made the previous comment) and found the dates you provided to be reversed but checking again i found your info to be correct
El juego es muy bueno pero usan demasiado la misma música llega un momento en que te hartas de esa musica
Ne esta hermosa, yo no me arte al contrario harta si dificultad toda tryhard
Juega excelente, yo soló llego al nivel 3 y en modo easy, malisimo para jugar
A complete knockoff of R-type they even play the same sound effects.
NBA SHMUPTIME!!!!
the music rocks
Are you sick of hearing the same drap jazz fusion in every shmup? are you sick of being mislead by the cover art because you are not charlie daniels shooting up monsters? were look at you phalanx. come get Biometal who's japanese soundtrack is drab jazz fusion like I mentioned before, but us americans and europeans get the pulsating and groovy soundtrack made by the radically awesome 2 unlimited. Biometal where monsters and jock jams collide.
Biometal is a bland shmup in japan activision really takes liberties seriously just to make a quick buck so they licensed the soundtrack from eurodance act 2 unlimited 2 bucks so they can get the rental and sales charts through the roof, so don't this localization seriously.
The music kills this game.....
The music in this shooter is the worse I ever heard in a game in all this years. Funck this music is shit.
This music SUCKS.
