Konami's popular arcade shooter comes to the Dreamcast with a new control method and increased gameplay options.

Gameplay
Gameplay is similar to the arcade version. You must go through the city and try to take out your enemies from a distance before they realize you're even there. In contrast to most arcade shooters, you must take care in your shooting, as enemies are not always easy to find, and sometimes civilians might get in the way.

Whereas the arcade version used a special gun device with a working scope for sniping purposes, the Dreamcast simulates the effects of the sniper rifle through the use of the Dreamcast controller and a special zoom function unique to the home version.

The zoom function displays on screen a magnified section of your chosen area. The zoom window can be moved around at will, or can be turned off to allow you to re-aim your gun more easily. The zoom window can be resized, a feature new to the home version.

Special Features
Graphics and sounds from the arcade version are perfectly recreated, and several new features have also been added in the home version. In addition to increased depth of play, where shooting specific body parts of your enemies may reap special awards, a new firing range mode gives you plenty of practice between games.
