Zero Gunner 2 doesn't conform to the traditional vertical or horizontal shooter, though; it is a top down shoot 'em up. I find the game interesting and fun, but also somewhat frustrating at the same time. Due to the limitation of Steam reviewing, I'm going for a recommend since I do enjoy playing it. That said, the game does have several flaws both in the way it was ported and game play that may turn off other players. The big gimmick with Zero Gunner 2 is the ability to rotate your helicopter around. However, this is done is a somewhat cumbersome way. Instead of tank controllers to rotate clockwise/counterclockwise, the player brings up a target reticle and pirouette around it. The advantage is it's possible to quickly make a 180 degree turn. The downside is it takes a lot of getting used to, and is tough to track targets. Beyond that. the game has you collect power ups for more power guns and missles and energy for a powerful attack that consumes that energy. The game allows the player to really store up that energy as well. I haven't yet maxed out the capacity. The player also has the choice of 3 helicopters. Like many Psikyo games the early stages are randomized. Which is also a double-edged sword. It's nice to see nearly half the game without much effort. But it also means that the player has to a steeper learning curve to play on a single credit. As for the port itself, it seems this is one the earliest ones City Connection did. Like other port they've done, much (but not all) of the configuration done before playing the game with the configuration tool. The game defaults to windowed. Joystick button mapping doesn't detect inputs. So the player has to guess which buttons the tool numbered what for non-standard controllers like the 8-button USB Sega Genesis controller I use. Additionally, once the buttons are mapped there, the player still has to assign there function in game. This is standard for all the City Connection Psikyo games I've played, but the early ones at least allow you to input the buttons in the Configuration Tool panel. Zero Gunner 2 does not. Zero Gunner 2 is mildly fun. However, this port can take some configuring and adjustments to get it to work how the player would like it. Additionally, the core gimmick may turn many players off as it could take some time to get used to.
