Phew. It's just when someone says it's a light gun games then says you have to play the game without actually shooting with the gin like in your standard light gun game, you get confused.

It IS a light gun game otherwise it wouldn't recognise the flashes of light the gun fires at the screen. Whilst it was not politically correct to be mentioning anything to do with guns in the US after Columbine (ironic I know) the arcade version as pictured in the post shows two guns resting and ready for use! Plus the game was released in Japan where guns were not so taboo, plus third party light guns were available in the US, just not SEGA official ones... All Light Gun games can be played with standard controllers so none are specifically or only for light gun use, just enhanced by them. I played Virtua Cop on the Saturn for years before I had a light Gun and still loved it... Don't let my poor reviewing skills deny you the chance of experiencing a good game...<br /><br />A 'crock of shit' it most definitely is not. Besides I know you are a Dreamcast collector, so presumably you'll want it to fill the gap in your collection at some point... It's a shame you didn't pick up a copy stateside.<br /><br />Right I've just palyed it again mid-reply and it fucking kicks ass!<br /><br />The actual message that flashes up is...<br /><br />"Peripheral at Port A is not supported in North America"<br /><br />When the Light Gun is inserted a 'Gun Option' appears... However, this only invites you to 'Start game' or return to main menu...<br /><br />Page 5 of the mannual is devoted to Gun Sight setting...<br /><br />SO IT DEFINITELY IS A LIGHT GUN GAME!!! Phew!<br /><br />On the options page you are invited to set the speed your sight can be moved at.<br /><br />You know, it's up to you G-Man take it or leave it... as I said in the post, the best reviewer of a game is yourself... Having to use the D Pad is another challenge, it actually adds something different to games CM, VC and HOTD2...and it makes you hold the gun in a macho Dirty Harry way... I'm sold! <br /><br />I'm going off to check the exact wording of the message right now, 'cos it may say something completely different to what I said and it might not say compatablefatherkrishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523813350137435244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-15558088562461285472007-01-12T17:09:00.000+00:002007-01-12T17:09:00.000+00:00*I already typed up a long response that was aweso...*I already typed up a long response that was awesome but blogger decided to eat it.*<br /><br />I don't remember having to use the directional pad to play the game when I played it...that was like four years ago though. I remember I always lost the most points because the goddamn civilians refused to get outta my way when I had the machine gun...*Dumbasses* You have inspired me to get out that game and try again.<br /><br />umm...I still don't remember the thing about the directional pad.<br /><br />Anyways good review. I have long distrusted most reviews and such.<br /><br />D2 for example is a game that I still like playing every once in awhile and I keep up with the story and stuff. Combat sucks ass but the game was alright in my book. (Except that it was set in Canada) And the damn pauses in the gameplay when you find stuff. But come on. People mutating into plant monsters in the snow. Pretty cool visual stuff.<br /><br />I gotta write up a review of that game.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238261299098657382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-50949920110700735942007-01-12T15:28:00.000+00:002007-01-12T15:28:00.000+00:00So...it's not a light gun game at all, then?

The only way you can kill your foe is to direct the target using the D pad. This must be done with the other hand from the one holding the gun, unless you have very dextrous and flexible digits!<br /><br />Now, before the game starts, there is a message that flags up the fact that the Light Gun peripheral is not compatable with the game... and this bizarre aiming process maybe our punshment for daring to use Light Guns after Columbine... (which is why this particular US only release was not light gun compatable...) If any of you guys can pour more light on the subject I'd be extremely grateful...fatherkrishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523813350137435244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-76850768431941601192007-01-12T01:44:00.000+00:002007-01-12T01:44:00.000+00:00Colourful graphics?

Yeah, I see a lot of brown and Grey..*kicked*<br /><br />I wanna grab a copy of this myself, if only so I can dust off that underused pair of light guns I have. The DC really didn't get enough light gun games, did it? We only got 2 in the UK!<br /><br />As for the control system....that doesn't make much sense. Are you saying you have to move the d-pad to target when you're using the light gun? That kind of takes away the whole point, doesn't it? Or am I completely misreading that paragraph?Animated AFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550837973910959680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-72823597871239928932007-01-11T22:00:00.000+00:002007-01-11T22:00:00.000+00:00Ah deitrix and Gnome!
