"This Island is engulfed in Battle Fire. DAMN THIS WAR! Player 2! Player 2! I will avenge you my friend, and SMASH THE ENEMY WITH MY GUN!"

The bosses of Gun Force are pretty much Contra style installations. That is, stationary targets and turrets with maybe some budget henchmen thrown in the mix. They are not always particularly inspired, but its the poor control that can give them killing power.

The duality of Gun Force is that it's an underrated game - it's actually a fun game to play with a second player. The other side of the coin is that it _is_ a less than stellar game. The controls are unintuitive, and the pace is often sluggish at best. But at least you can only jump and shoot. Its innocuous name is really _very descriptive_.

To be fair, the subtitle - Battle Fire Engulfed Terror Island - is what made this game a household name for us. But I really do enjoy the game, even if it is quite flawed. I haven't played the arcade version, perhaps it's smoother.
