Product Description
Elemental Gearbolt is, if anything, unique. It's a first-person-perspective rail-based game that combines gameplay of two genres: traditional gun games and shooters. As in Time Crisis and Virtua Cop, EG's gameplay occasionally pauses in spots to let you pick off enemies at your will. But overall, the pace is more like Panzer Dragoon (whose graphics and sci-fi/fantasy theme it generally mirrors), which keeps you consistently moving along. The Elemental Gearbolt premise, explained and furthered by extended animated sequences, puts you - either by yourself or with a gun-toting friend - up to the task of trying to vanquish an empire that has overtaken the land. The goals within its six stages of play are simple: Wipe out the troops and sub-bosses, shoot fairies free from the jeweled magical prisons that envelop them, and take on the main bad guy himself. The mechanics of having to collect more ammo and reload are withdrawn, as your gun is apparently magic-based. Three elemental weapon options are available, which vary in degrees of damage, speed of fire, and blast radius. The fire elemental setting provides a slow but very powerful shot that can destroy most enemies in a single attempt; the water elemental expels three weak but fast shots; and the lightning elemental works like a shotgun, slowly scattering a hoard of wide medium-powered blasts. The fire elemental is primarily used within the beginning areas of each stage for wiping out the onrushing swarming masses. The water or lightning elemental can provide quick shots for destroying fire from the sub-bosses and boss, while a companion, if present, bombards them straightaway with the fire elemental setting.

 One of the finest games in the light gun genre May 17, 2006

Switch between multiple weapons at will. Each has its own uses, though I find myself sticking to the fire weapon most of the time. Beautiful graphics (by PS1 standards, anyway) and a dramatic classical soundtrack. The dub of the anime-style cutscenes is awful, but that's the only serious flaw in an otherwise fantastic gaming experience.
Don't buy unless you own a light gun, however. You can play with a standard controller and crosshairs, but you'll be seriously missing out.
 The best shooter game I've ever played! May 3, 2004

This game is so awsome. I have to make this short because I'm ni class right now, and I don't want to get caught not looking up the history of Fermant's enigma, so I will say this much. It is a fun, entertaining, and challenging game. The enthusiasm to play this game is isane when you start to play it. It's definitely hard though, no question there. Plus I would HIGHLY recconmend a Guncon or something like that. Excellent animated FMVs to watch, and the story is really cool. This game could easilly be made into an RPG if you want my opinion.
