Gatchaman The Shooting (Battle Of The Planets). How is it?

Post by Super Laydock »

I just came across this game but can't seem to find any actual info on the gameplay and quality of this game. Apparently it also goes under the "G-Force" name.

It looks beautiful, but is it any good and worth getting?
Any info is appreciated!

I've played it, IMO its craptacular. It's just no fun, and you have a lifebar. The graphics look good in screenshots, but look like Bokan to Ippatsu (sp?) when the game is running, and plays similarly...but worse.

And the boiling red blood shed in fierce gaming

Their battered bodies will never forget!

I was excited about it when I ordered it but was significantly underwhelmed when I played it. Nothing special by any stretch of the imagination.

Are there any anime cutscenes? If so I'd prolly buy it if I had a modded PS1.

Static screens, no animation. The game looks good but has a lot of problems including slowdown and repetition of certain stages. *-neo

The game came out as a 2000 yen bargain release... you get what you pay for :wink:
