Must play arcade experience. Driving and shooting is hard as hell!

playing this with a friend at the arcade is some of the most fun I've had playing an arcade game with someone.

Pretty cool idea that I don't get why was never replicated. It's essentially a rail shooter where you also get to drive. Also, the poster does not do it justice. The in game aesthetics are really nice. It feels like getting to play an 80s/90s anime OVA about a buddy cop duo.

If nothing else this is unique. Me and my wife played this one together and it was pretty fun. One of the 2 guns didn't work right but that didn't really affect our enjoyment... we just died more but it was set to free play so no biggie. We kept playing and when we'd beat a level/race we'd decide to go for one more stage so I guess that's a good sign of a good game. Only real complaint is that it felt like if they went all in on 2-player mode it would have been better so that player 1 had to focus entirely on not wrecking and player 2 focused entirely on shooting.

A driving and light gun game. Since you are driving you actually have more ability to dodge attacks outside of shooting it before it hits you. A totally unique arcade experience that is a must play. The only really failing is player two has less to do since they are just riding shotgun.

Namco absolutely crushing the super scaler energy here, this is just pure reckless joy. Going to play this with my wife at Galloping Ghost in a few weeks and buddy, that’s the good stuff.
