Excellent 3rd person gallery shooter by Konami. They nailed the presentation for this one as they did with all their licensed games. Gameplay is simple but very satisfying. Knowing when to use the missiles is key in getting the 1CC.

I find the difficulty quite high compared to other gallery shooters I played. Spent a lot of time practicing stages 2-2 and the final stage. You need to memorize the difficult sections and route your missiles to eliminate enemies as soon as they spawn. Destro fight is a big mess but I got the hang of the different phases after many hours of practice. The fight against Cobra Commander is very choreographed but sometimes he breaks patterns in the 2nd phase. I am glad I got the clear the first time I got to him.

Played on MAME 0.115. I used this version since newer versions of MAME mess up the graphics in some sections (Baroness fight, start of stage 2-2 and Destro fight). Shoutouts to Jaimers for the tips.
