Great run-and-gun shooter for the GBA. Definitely uses the hardware's capabilities to their maximum potential. Tons of rotating sprites, pseudo-3D models, onscreen explosions, and even a few one-liner voice clips. The game is fairly short. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it left a bit to be desired. Changes to the gameplay from the original are somewhat welcome enough. Enhanced melee is nice, even if I do miss yeeting enemies around. While I miss the weapon combos from the original, being able to swap between three different weapons depending on the situation is cool too.

Overall a good game, even if I do prefer the original over this title. Still worth checking out if you like the original, games developed by Treasure, or games like this in general.
