I think I explained earlier in my writings that I really love shooting games that let you get your shooty on. I don't need a tutorial or a bunch of screens and text. I just want to get right to shooting. This game certainly delivers. I don't pop a game about shooting bad guys into the console with all my hopes and dreams aimed at sitting through an explanation. The only time I ever listen to explanations is when my doctor is giving them. I ignore them at work because after pretty much a whole lifetime of working I think I fucking get it. I get working that is. I make a shit ton of mistakes at work, but thankfully my job mostly has to do with personality. At least that's what I always say.
Okay the game is fucking short. A friend and I tried it out for the first time before I had to go to work and we accidentally beat the game in about 48 minutes. But that's really not a negative because I didn't plan on spending the rest of my life playing games anyway. If you're a gamer and spending your whole life on playing games then well you are a twat. I'm just kidding, games are fucking awesome and I'd rather have a full library of them than kids and a wife.
There is potential to make your friend that plays with you, and with light gun games, yes that is pretty much mandatory. A little bit uncomfortable when you are so obviously way better at light gun games. So when you're like me and you just rattle off pretty much nothing but headshoots, this can cause your friend to be a bit insecure. I wrote headshoots on purpose because I think it's really fucking hilarious.
Shoot everything on screen in every scene. There are hidden power ups that you can get by shooting random objects. If you do this then you'll be shooting all the time and that is really all I want from almost any game. I love Persona 4: Golden for the constant interaction with virtual, pretend friends. I love them more than most of the friends I've made the last few years. If I could take the characters from that game and play a light gun game with them, then I would be in Heaven. That doesn't have much to do with this review, I'm just telling you that.
The game has you blasting terrorists in a very anime flavored setting. There is nothing here but dumb entertainment that happens to be fun. I can't stress it enough, that this is all a game really has to be. I don't want every game to be The Last of Us. When I'm tired from work or just tired from depression, sometimes I don't want to contemplate the failures of humanity and the tirelessness of the human spirit. Sometimes I just want to shoot baddies. If you're like me, then you'll like this game.
