No Gun = Limited Fun
User Rating: 4 | Point Blank DS DS
Point blank used to be one of my favorite arcade shooters back in the day because it did not involve buckets of blood a la Lethal Enforcers or House of the Dead back then. It was a nice family friendly alternative. I was very happy to hear that this game was coming out for the DS but then I thought “Where is the Fun without the gun?” The fact of the matter is the game is still fun BUT the replay value and fun factor are very limited. Without that patented Namco gun giving you feedback the game is simply not the same. It is fun for a while but this game was returned to EB from yours truly within a few days. It’s just not the same without the guns.
Don’t get me wrong though, the presentation is very good as is the arcade translation from graphics to sound effects but there is just a gun missing in all this. I sure hope this game comes out for the Wii that I plan to purchase because with the Wiimote this game would be a lot more fun.
