Gal*Gun 2

Nothing in Gal*Gun 2 tries to go beyond what the series has done before.

Gal*Gun 2 will once again grab the headlines for all the wrong reasons, but what those will fail to tell you is that the underlying experience isn't worth any sort of price to begin with. Once the perverse novelty wears off, you're left with a bare-bones shooter that sorely needs to come off the rails it is tied to if it wants to create any excitement.

Gal*Gun 2 offers an on-rails shooter experience that gets very familiar and repetitive far too quickly, without ever really providing enough content to keep you hooked. The pure fantasy element of the scenarios at hand is certainly the selling point, but the gameplay that surrounds it isn't strong enough to justify a purchase. If you're a fan of the series' earlier titles, or if the art and plot appeal to your tastes, you'll likely get something from the game, but anyone looking for great gaming action will likely be pretty disappointed.

Gal*Gun 2 is a very well put together game, in my opinion. It’s certainly not one for everybody due to the lewd tone of the game, but the gameplay is incredibly fun and it is paired with a fun story, great characters and high production values. It’s not the cheapest game in the world but it will keep you busy for a good 20 hours or so if you try to complete it or at least six if you rush through once. I personally thought the cost was worth it and it became even better when playing with the optional VR DLC.

This is definitely not a game to buy for its gameplay (which is repetitive and boring). If cute girls is all you want, then this may be a decent recommendation, but otherwise, definitely stay away.

Gal*Gun 2 is a very shallow game that has a decent story underneath some braindead gameplay.

Easily one of the best motion controller based rail shooters out there. That's not saying much but it is a good game on its own merits and the hilarious presentation helps a lot too.

Gal*Gun 2 doesn't really break any new ground and can feel a little easy. But its simple game play and goofy moments can make it deceptively addicting. An overall good time to be had.

Anyways, I’ve rambled on long enough; so whats the verdict? Well, I think for the fun romp it is, Gal Gun sure has a lot more to offer from it’s previous entry. I think that if this series wants to go on, however, it needs to just have better feeling gameplay to keep people engaged… And though the story isn’t something Shakespearean, it certainly gets the job done in a silly and harmless manner.

Gal*Gun 2 is a weird Japanese release, and one that will not be to the taste of everyone, given its core context. I play a lot of different games and thought that while the violence in this game isn't graphic, the base mechanic has an odd-aftertaste for an American audience. If you're interested in this type of release, then you might have fun if you can get past what you see at first.
