Gunstar Heroes Review January 13, 2007

Gunstar Heroes

This game is fast paced! My roommate and I spent the first 5 minutes mashing buttons madly as an endless torrent of baddies were thrown at us, explosions going off left and right before we figured out the controls. All this confusion was compounded by the fact that the two little guys look about 90% the same. One is a little badly drawn dude in a white suit with little red shoulder pads and has light brown hair, the other is a little badly drawn dude in a white suit with little blue shoulder pads and has brown hair two shades lighter. Nothing makes you feel more stupid than mashing buttons for 5 minutes thinking your winning only to realize you are actually the other guy over in the corner getting his ass handed to him. Its a wonder we ever made it to the second level!

Gunstar Heroes

I have no choice to give this game a 5 out of 5 tacos. I couldn’t stop playing it. It was addicting. All those little flashing explosions and spinning robots or spaceships or whatever the hell they were! I swear there were like 20 baddies on the screen at any given moment going in all directions, and we were killing them off like 2 every second and they just JUST KEEP COMING!

Next thing I know its 2:35 am and I’m dripping with sweat.

                                                                    

5 out of 5

GameSpot’s No More Heroes video review (YouTube version)


  • This game is truly a gem, which I missed the first time around after parting with my Sega Megadrive (Genesis) in favour of SNES!
  • Awesome review ... keep em coming! I definitely missed out on the games during the 16 bit days, as I was an avid SNES supporter back then ...

    The VC may seem like a waste when compared to emulators but I can't sit with my roommate and play an emulator on my TV. Im sure if I had the right hardware I could, but I don't because it costs more than 20 bucks so for now I am happy fine with the VC, though I suppose one might want to consider such a thing. Can you use gamepads with emulators? I guess it would depend on the program you use eh?

    I refuse to buy anything off the VC right now. For $3, I would be all over this game, but right now, i'm happy to play it on my PC with an emulator for free, i'm not paying $8 for it, no matter how awesome it is! Plus I'll have those damn leftover wii points, like I do now! I buy bomberman, 600 points right? no, I have to spend $10, then I have to pay another $10 just to use up my spare change!

    Golden Axe is good too, I think I will review that one next. I am in love with the VC right now. :D

    I remember playing this on the Mega Drive and getting hooked. Next week I'm heading out to get some Wii points and I think that Im going to have to get this and golden Axe. Leaves me with 400point on a 2000 card good dam it then I will have to buy another card O Nintendo you think your so clever
