Publisher: Sega
Released: 1995
Gunstar Heroes is a run 'n' gun title that was originally released on the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive in 1993.
+ The developers pulled off an impossible port and it's spectacular how much it plays and feels like the 16-bit version.+ Includes most of the content from the original while omitting the Dice Palace which previously bogged down the action.
+ Being able to tackle the first three stages in any order allows less skilled gamers to see more of what's available.
+ The option to choose your starting weapon is terrific and combining two together leads to experimentation.
+ Boss fights are fun and the multi-part battles against gigantic opponents is a sight-to-behold on rather modest hardware.
+ Graphics are stunning with an impressive amount of background detail to compliment its smooth animation.
- The egregious amount of sprite flicker, graphical glitching and slowdown can be distracting at times.
