The Challenge Mode is a far more intriguing proposition. Completed stages are made available in the Arcade Mode, which is a much more traditional 'score attack' affair. In this mode, the action is interspersed with largely superfluous cut-scenes that attempt to elaborate on the wafer-thin plot. Story Mode sees you starting your noble quest on one stage before opening up different levels that can be tackled in any order you fancy.
Upon firing up Nanostray 2 you're greeted with a pretty considerable table of options. Surely there's such a thing as mass-production in the future? While Nanostray 2 admirably tries to introduce a novel narrative that involves collecting samples to stave off a malign virus, it's still essentially about our feeble species trying to repel an overwhelming force from beyond the stars with nothing but a sole spacecraft. They invariably involve mankind being threatened by an alien menace with us only able to muster a single ship with which to fight back. Video game plots are never the most accurate indication of things to come, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take lessons from the storylines showcased in futuristic space shooting titles.
