Review

I don't think I'm quite as in awe of Gunstar Heroes as most Sega fans. It's unique, and a technical marvel, no question about that. Some of the graphical effects it pulls off on the Genesis are literally unbelievable. It's just not a lot of fun to play. The word I most associate with playing this game is "cacophony". The visuals, music and sound effects all get jumbled in my head and I often have no idea what's going on. If you try to actually aim at enemies you're going to get overwhelmed, the best strategy is to get one of the enemy-seeking weapon combos and hold down the shoot button and hope everything dies. There are wildly creative moments, the board game sequence is justifiably legendary, but as a run-and-gun game, it's no Contra.

Score
