Point Blank 2

Product Information

Mythology Gag: Some of the sound effects and the interface elements of Point Blank X come from the former games in the series. In Japan, it was the seventh highest-grossing dedicated arcade game of 1995. [9] According to Electronic Gaming Monthly, Point Blank was a " cult favorite" in U.S. arcades. [10] Final Boss: In Point Blank 2, the final stage of Insane mode is a recreation of Cosmo Gang, a mechanical arcade game also by Namco. Unlike the fireworks stages that cap off every mode above Training, this is not optional, and failing the stage will cost a life. Shows Damage: In stages where you have to repeatedly shoot a target until it blows up, parts of the target will explode or fall off. Depending on the stage, this will also decrease the area on which you can hit the target. Ricciardi, John (November 1997). "Top 10 in Japan". Electronic Gaming Monthly. No.100. Ziff Davis. p.28.

Harder Than Hard: Point Blank has the occasional "VERY HARD" stage. Point Blank 2 calls them "Insane" instead. There's also a mode consisting entirely of stages of that difficulty. The corporations have the view that they know what is best. They hope to create a social utopia in which free market forces will control society and the political system will be reduced to figureheads. One part of this goal was to replace The Corps, Korogese's volunteer and conscript defense forces, with a corporate-trained-and-controlled paramilitary mercenary army called Aegis Incorporated. With the support of anti-military and anti-war activist groups financed by the corporations, the government disbanded The Corps and handed over its facilities and equipment to Aegis Inc. This was followed by a series of laws restricting personal freedoms. Supposedly enacted to combat the rising crime rate, they were really created to aid in controlling Korogese's citizenry.

Point Blank is the gift that keeps on giving, rewards, XP, events, tournaments, but especially LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN AND SATISFYING GAMEPLAY! Upon completing all stages, players will have their performance ranked. Point Blank 1& 2 's ranking is based on how many points have been accumulated, lives remaining, and how many continues have been used, and will advise the player to advance up to a higher difficulty, try out head to head with a friend, return to a lower difficulty, or to practice more. Point Blank 3 and DS ranks numerous aspects of a player's performance such as concentration, accuracy, judgement etc., and then presents them with an overall letter grade.

Scoring Points: While the game does have an ending, going for a high score (or trying to out score you opponent) is what you are always aiming for. It's an arcade game after all. Even the ending itself, a fireworks display, is about scoring points; you shoot the fireworks to make them launch.

Point Blank 3/ Gunbalina ( ガンバリーナ, Ganbarīna) (2000) (Arcade, PlayStation) – Its Japanese name is a pun on Thumbelina.Ghoul Panic/ Oh!

The ride Cosmic Drive in Point Blank 2 simulates an alien invasion. The alien opponents are Flatwoods Monsters and they want to enslave humanity. As with the first game, gameplay consists of blasting the UFOs they drive in to bits. Because this stage is in space, the Flatwoods Monsters float away rather than fall down when their vessels get destroyed. Game-Breaking Bug: Point Blank X has a very noticable degree of lag between when you point the gun somewhere and when the game actually registers the gun as being pointed at that location, resulting in some needless Fake Difficulty. This becomes a huge problem when it comes to stages that demand precise shooting or shooting at moving targets, particularly stages that have penalty targets. You can aim right at the correct target but end up shooting the bomb to the right of it because you didn't wait half a second before pulling the trigger.
