"A good light gun game"

This is one of many, classic light gun arcade games. Like all light gun games, you point your little plastic gun at the screen and pull the trigger, trying to kill whatever shoots back at you.

Story: 10/10 or 0/10

There isn't really a story. Your base has been flooded with Aliens. Your goal is to kill them. That's not really a story, so it can be great, because there's no problems, or you can see it that I should give it a 0 by default because of it's total lack of story

Graphics: 7/10

Not bad. The backgrounds are rather sketchy. The nearer areas and boxes and other little details are well done. The Aliens are 2D, but still look pretty darn good for when this game was. The quality is good for the game's time and the blood is bright and eye catching.

Sound: 8/10

Good. The guns sound AWESOME, especially the shotgun or the explosion of the grenade. The music is low in volume and often drowned out by the noise of your local arcade, but if you can catch a bit of it, it's really not that bad and is somewhat suiting to the feel and pace of the game, so that without a doubt helped it become one of my favorite light gun games.

Gameplay: 8/10

Nice. The game is for 1 or 2 players, and it's fun both ways. No matter whether you want to go solo, use both guns by yourself, or find a friend (or complete stranger) and play together. When you start, you can choose the easy mode where you start at the beginning of the game, or you can choose the harder mode where you start towards the middle of the game, and are given less health.

Overall: 8/10

Good. It's a great game for beginners, so if your little sibling wants to play a game like you, hand him one of the guns for this game, as it's not too hard for newcomers to this type of game, as long as they have SOME clue what they are doing and what they are expected to do to beat the game. This game is worth surely your twenty five or fifty cents, whatever the game costs at your arcade

Final Thoughts

Try it. It's not a stand out game in the tremendous sea of shooters we have in this modern day and age, but this one is defiantly worth trying at least once.
