Preface
Some of you have probably played one of the parts of this game in arcade machines. I was playing. You had to take a laser pistol, or even two, from the slot (there is co-op in the game), and aim at the screen, pull the trigger. To reload, you had to move the gun away from the screen and press fire.
The game was quite difficult, since it was difficult to aim a plastic pistol, and even move it away to reload. So it was not possible for young me to go all the way to the slot machine. The "Countinue" was coins purchased at the cash register. On PC, aiming with the mouse and using two buttons to destroy all living things was quite simple. However, even on PC you had to show miracles of reaction and accuracy to reach the end.
The actual game
It all started with the mode selection screen
I didn’t know much about it. https://lottoheldencasino.co.uk/ Yes and why? All you need is the arcade and original mode buttons. There is also a test mode in which you had to get rid of the undead within a certain time and stuff like that.
It all starts with our hero driving his car to save his friend G (G).
However, some kind of gremlin appears on his way and warns of bad consequences. The hero, having shot the heads of several zombies (who dissolve when they die), finds his dying friend. Then the hero continues to move in an unknown direction, leaving control of the pistol on our conscience. The game is a rail shooter. This is a shooter where you just move the mouse and shoot. And there is something to shoot here .Starting from simple zombies, ending with Wolverine clad in armor.
You can also shoot at environmental objects. In addition to the banal barrels and boxes, you can also shoot at signs and lanterns (they will either swing or break). But we’re not the only survivor in this mess?
There are also other people who most often need help.
For their salvation they give us some tasty treats. For example extra life. At the end of the level, all the people we saved line up and wave to us. By breaking barrels and crates, we can discover all kinds of power-ups. Like, for example, the points doubler, extra life, golden frog (never hit it once). However, what is a rail shooter without an impressive boss at the end of the level??
All the bosses in the game are somewhat surprising. For example, the first one, a huge headless knight with a flying gargoyle. And there is also a huge dude chasing us through the maze. Each boss has a weak point, hitting which will cause extra damage. You can, of course, just hit it with a pistol (which is what I did while playing with a “knowledgeable” dude in a computer club). I said almost nothing about the plot. And all because I didn’t really follow him. What for do we need a plot when we shoot off the heads of zombies and save “hot” chicks from them?
The main villain is a Chinese guy in black glasses and a jacket (all villains have a fashion for jackets). Did I mention the cooperative. Well, everything is simple here. Two people at one computer will shoot back from crowds of monsters. One on the mouse, the other on the keyboard/gamepad.
It is also worth noting !nonlinear! passing. When we save someone, an alternative path opens up for us. Or vice versa – if we didn’t save that fat dude on the boat, he will crash, and the boat will block our path. Not only can we follow alternative paths, but we can also complete the level from different points! Everything depends, again, on the survivors we rescued. When you die (which is quite difficult to do on PC, because.To. the number of continuations is already 10) you will see a map with a running game character. And the map shows different forks.
Completion
I chose this part of the game because I consider it the golden mean. Actually, she – two – is in the middle between 1 and 3, isn’t it? There is also a 4th and possibly a 5th part. But I won’t tell them. It is only worth noting that in each episode (starting from the second) the main characters have different weapons. In the 1st and 2nd there were pistols, in the 3rd there were shotguns, in the 4th uzi and even grenades.
A little about the "story"
In stories I tell (oh well?) about the games I played. This is not a review or an opinion – it’s all together. I talk about the game that I know myself (not counting the wiki part). And if I didn’t say anything specific about the plot or forgot something, then don’t be offended or angry. I tell it the way I remember it and share my impressions. You are my friends from the yard, to whom I tell about the game I just played.
