There's nothing typical about this 2D shooter. The pinnacle of greatness on the Sega Genesis. Treasure has made a gem that blows most of our 7th gen consoles out of the friggin' water. The music was written and composed by Norio Hanzawa under his pseudonym NON.įinal word: Buy this game. Last but not least we have a powerful soundtrack that keeps up with the pace of the game but always being speed-metal worthy while also coming off as enigmatic and suspenseful. The main highlight of the game are its boss encounters, which feature huge enemies made up of multiple sprites allowing for more fluid motion. Treasure must have discovered a most secret way to make the most out of the Genesis' processing power, not only by creating excellent sprites in fine detail, but so MANY of them onscreen at once.
Did I mention that once you run out of health, its GAME OVER?!?!?Īnd then the graphics. Let's call this a more in-depth version of that stage in TMNT 2 (for the NES) where you are surfing in the sewers, only the turtles are humans in the future on massi ve amounts of PCP. Meanwhile you are collecting power-ups (there are a total of 14 different combos to choose from) to make it easier (at least a little bit) to batter the foes so decadently smashing into you. Lightning quick enemies hail down on you in furious numbers. Gunstar Heroes plays like a shooter that collided with the most insane side-scroller you've ever faced. Where to start with a game as innovative as Gunstar Heroes? Do I start with the blast-processed fueled graphics which outshined most of the Genesis' other titles? Perhaps the fenominal soundtrack, fast-paced and enthusiastic? Or maybe I should start with the actual gameplay. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned The gameplay is outstanding and the graphics are top-notch, considering the fact that this is one of the few Sega Genesis titles that pushes the hardware to it's limits! In conclusion, Gunstar Heroes is not only one of the best run-and-gun titles on the Sega Genesis, but also one of the best games for the console period! Read full review
Gunstar Heroes is a Sega Genesis run-and-gun game that was published by Sega in 1993 and was the first video game to be developed by Treasure, a Japanese video game developer, which includes some former Konami employees who have put a lot of time and effort on creating this true masterpiece! The music and sounds are awesome, especially with Norio Hanzawa composing them with the use of the SMPS 68K sound driver! On a side note, Norio Hanzawa used to work for Konami on composing music and sounds for their own titles for the Nintendo NES and Game Boy, such as Quarth, Castlevania: The Adventure, Rollergames, as well as arcade titles including The Simpsons and Bucky O'Hare. Gunstar Heroes is definitely a Sega Genesis must-own title!
