Gamera Is Really Neat. Gamera Is Full of Meat.

A behind-the-back shooter along much the same lines as Sega's Panzer Dragoon series, Gamera 2000 puts players behind the controls of a futuristic fighter plane, which assists Gamera (flying giant turtle/Japanese movie star) with saving the world. The enemy? Evil aliens in beefy spaceships and mutants of Gyaos, a species of creature credited with destroying the continent of Atlantis.

In one-player mode, gamers navigate the ship and have limited control over the flying monster, while in family mode, the second player acts as the monster. Both have a healthy dose of "fun factor."

It's currently unknown if the game will ever hit US shores, though TH*Q had at one time talked about bringing it over.

Expect a full review and video of the game on VGS soon.
