History YMMV / YarsRevenge

* UnderusedGameMechanic: The Zorlon Cannon, the game's Smart Bomb, is only available for the last two stages of the game, and while the game claims it is unlockable from Stage 5 and onward, the Zorlon Cannon still cannot be used outside of the last two stages, not even after completing the Campaign Mode or the game's {{Arrange Mode}}s.

* PolishedPort: The PC version is capable of running at higher resolutions and frame-rates than the Xbox 360 version, and plays well with keyboard and mouse. However, it has limited in-game settings and common PC-related settings are hidden through a command-line parameter[[labelnote:*]]''-configure''[[/labelnote]], and the PC version does not support keyboard or controller remapping. Raising the game's frame-rate above the display's refresh-rate can also introduce mouse movement problems.
* SoOkayItsAverage: The re-imagining's reception has been middling, many criticizing [[ItsShortSoItSucks the short length]], [[PlayTheGameSkipTheStory forgettable story]], somewhat monotonous gameplay, and having [[InNameOnly next to nothing]] in common with the original ''Yars' Revenge''. However, some enjoyed the visuals and music of the game.

* PolishedPort: Subverted. The PC version is capable of running at higher resolutions and frame-rate than the Xbox 360 version, however most common PC-related settings such as resolution, display modes, frame-rate cap, and V-sync require tweaking the game's .ini files, and also lacks the ability to remap your controls on both keyboard/mouse and controller due to being mostly a direct port of the latter. Raising the game's frame-rate above its default 35 FPS cap may also introduce mouse movement problems.

* PlayTheGameSkipTheStory: Downplayed. While the story is serves as an excuse for the game, many criticize the gameplay for lacking the kind of challenge and depth that other on-rails shooters such as ''VideoGame/PanzerDragoon'' or ''VideoGame/SinAndPunishmentStarSuccessor'' have to offer.
