![]() ![]() You'll have races to destroy the targets or shear the same herd of sheep. This time, you can challenge other players in real-time one-on-one battles. One thing to note - besides having a greater degree of depth, Point Blank 2 is also considerably more difficult than Point Blank.As expected, the multiplayer mode is even better. But the list of new stages goes on and on (between the original version and the Japanese version of the sequel as well), and they're all just as fun, if not more fun, than the original. Now you shoot out neon signs in Tokyo and destroy a house and tractor with rapid fire. You get to shoot out the glass of the vehicles before capping the bandit! Clever new puzzles such as one in which you shoot the cork off a champagne bottle and defuse a time bomb make you wonder if the developers had concocted these puzzles by sitting on lawn chairs on their back porches with their BB guns. Also, the bad guys don't just dress the sidewalks, porches, and hallways now they actually ride by you in buses and truck beds. For example, instead of just clearing the bad guys and saving the good guys, you now have bottles sprinkled throughout the level to grab for extra points. Overall, the stages in Point Blank 2 exhibit a greater degree of depth than the original game did. As in the first game, the puzzles in this mode are similar to puzzles in the multiplayer and single-player modes, but with a bit more diversity in their delivery. As the hero (a young kid with a big gun) in theme-park mode, you must search the park for the king's daughter and clear all the stages before you can complete the level. Also in single player, the theme park mode is much more enjoyable than Point Blank Island was in the first game. The trick is to make it through all of the courses, finishing each successfully. Once you complete a stage, you receive stats that track your progress, from accuracy to speed of firing. And as an added bonus, a new "insane" level has been thrown in to up the ante. As in the Japanese game, the practice level has four rounds, and the beginner and advanced levels each have 16. ![]() The practice levels are painfully easy and often suggest you go to an advanced round next, but then the advanced levels will beat you soundly and suggest you go back to beginner. In single player, you can start off with a training mode that recommends the next stage you should try - depending on how well you do, of course. These challenges test your ability to shoot straight and often in rapid succession, with limited time, ammo, or both. Theoretically, in single-player and multiplayer modes, you have the same sort of timed "target" challenges that the first game offered. There's also a party mode with a two-to-four-player tournament, a team battle, a really fun turf war, and the Point Blank Castle, which includes versus and endurance modes. Point Blank 2 is a toughened up a step beyond the Japanese version, yet it includes the same modes, such as a theme-park mode in place of the RPG-like storyline of the first game. The game, like its Japanese counterpart, is not an arcade port, but rather a console-specific game geared expressly to the home audience. Now Point Blank 2, the shoot-'em-up puzzle sequel has arrived in the States. It’s portable, well designed and, especially, SAFE.The Japanese version of Namco's Point Blank 2, GunBarl, came out overseas about nine months ago - just months after the US release of the original game, Point Blank (or Gun Bullet, as it was called in arcades and in Japan). “I FOUND IT!
