Ed Hunter
released on Jun 17, 1999
Rail shooter based on Iron Maiden's music and mascot, Eddie. The game was included as a bonus disc with the double CD compilation album of the same name. The game takes the player through a series of linear, on-rails missions through various levels based on the covers of past Iron Maiden albums. Players can select any track from the album to play in the background of each level.

evil game
The clunkiest rail shooter I've played, you just kind of shoot enemies in a very weird, clunky area.
Aiming feels bad, and that's the ONE thing they had to do right. The later stages are so boring too.
For a game meant to showcase the album tracks, I would've expected them to balance the stages around the music, instead you're stuck with a 30min stage looping their 4min song. I like some of the Maiden tracks, but listening to Wrathchild loop five times while the camera SLIGHTLY changes angle in the same screen is horribly boring.
And the later stages are BS. What a shame. Seems band games are just doomed.
