Gunners Heaven
Review from the Net


Story and Originality: none...from what I hear. This is a ripoff of some
sega game, ne?

Graphics: Great...really colorful, explosions look spectacular, some
slowdown when things get really busy. One of my friends mentioned this
could probably be done on the SNES, for the exception of the color and
busy-ness of the sprites.

Control: Excellent...You can shoot, jump, hang on platforms, grab
platforms with with the grappling wire and slide.  Your gun has 4
different settings (standard, heat seeker, bouncy ball things, flame
thrower) which can be powered up and you use a button to alternate between
them.

Difficulty: No choice of difficulty and the one setting they have is 
pretty damn hard....but not in a "unfair" way. If you make use of the
different weapons and the grappling wire and sliding you can get by pretty
good....however I only made it to the end of level 2, so far. But the six
bosses I've encountered have been predictable, for the exception of the
end level boss for Level 2, who's completely predictable until she goes
down to 2999 and goes ballistic, well not really...I just don't know how
to avoid her blasts (any suggestions? someone who has this game).  Also
there is no save feature, so if you stick the game in again you have to
start from the beginning.

Sound: Okay....the voices are kinda weak.  Standard "Yatta!" and so forth.
Sound effects are a little dull too. There are two choices of music, both
are nothing to write home about but it does change...so your not stuck
with the same song.

Is it worth it?: Depends if you have the extra money.  If your a baka, who
bought an import Japanese PlayStation and can only buy one game in the
next 5 months, you might want to pass.  I don't think it's a must have,
but it's fun nontheless.

My only real complaint on this game is in sound dept. otherwise it's a
great addition to my collection.  It's only one player, so when your
friends stop by this will most likely not be what you'd stick in..maybe
Tekken or something.
