Whaaaat? 2spicy looks 2 cool.
Yeah, 2 Spicy, that's the name. It looks cool, the characters are cool, the idea is kinda cool.. but after two duels it felt like I only wanted to aim the gun at my temple and end the miserable game. The gameplay is VERY limited and the trigger is slow and starts to strain fingers quickly, much like the Silent Hill gun game (which at least felt semi-interesting storywise).

If you want a good light gun game, try Konami's ACTION DEKA. Besides shooting, you can use the special controllers to punch the ghetto niggas, yakuza, ninjas and chuck shurikens etc. Sega's RAMBO is great too, but maybe a bit short-lived.. Argh I'm overdosing on games again.. I have a constant urge to play SFIV now while I still can :/ Lost some of my appetite for shmups after watching the HEY guys systematically ALL the latest shmups with insane scores. Death Smiles, Otomedius and some others felt surprisingly easy, very good for short-term entertainment, although I hate the thing that companies force people to buy ID cards for games (the new Konami games like Otomedius don't seem to let anyone play without them.. and I can't figure how to change character in my SFIV card, if it's even possible. Luckily I selected Ryu initially, seems to be one of the strongest characters among with Sagat, Abel and Zangief).

Btw, what does the old guy ask at the end of DDP: Dai Fukkatsu? "Do you want to continue to second loop?" or what.. they selected something which just ended the game.
Before Pope John Paul died he decreed that Aliens were also GOD's creatures and we should treat them with respect.

yup, proboably didnt make the right loop.

if you like gun games you have to try Cobra : the Gun.. it is awesome, like timecrisis with a lock-on feature and just really well made game all over.
teh gimmicky gun is alittle wonky tho but if its just calibrated properly it wont eb a disturbence.
