Gunstar Heroes

On February 23, 2006, Gunstar Heroes was released as part of the Gunstar Heroes: Treasure Box Collection for the Playstation 2. In addition to the weapons, the player can engage enemies in close quarters combat. Death to a player requires multiple hits but just one death will issue the option to continue from the start of the level or to end the game. Gunstar Heroes features four basic weapon types: Force, a powerful shot that fires rapidly; Lightning, a straight shot that goes through enemies; Chaser, which homes in on enemies; and Flame, a shot that is very effective at close range. By combining two weapons, a new weapon can be formed. Through the efforts of the Gunstar family , the four gems that were Golden Silver's power source were taken and hidden. Afterwards, the player finds out that Colonel Red kidnapped Gunstar Yellow and Gunstar Red and Blue set off to save her, but after finding Yellow, the player is forced to give them gems to Colonel Red for her life, whereupon the Colonel sets off in a large spacecraft for the moon Gunstar 9 where Golden Silver is located.
