Gun Viper is an extremely pretty looking vertically scrolling shoot ‘em up with 3d effects. Not only is it decent eye candy but it is quite playable too. Having played quite a number of these types of games lately I can safely say this is definitely one of the better ones, with smooth scrolling, nice looking backgrounds and sprites, a great soundtrack and the old frantic game play the hardcore fans have come to expect.
Even though the 3d effects are quite pretty and the graphics look a little more ‘modern’ than your average freeware shooter, the game play is as retro as retro shooters come, with the old ‘shoot everything in sight, while dodging a million bullets’ formula. To make things a little more balanced however, every time you shoot certain enemies, they leave a crystal behind, which floats around the screen. When you collect the crystal, it gives you some of your energy back (depending on its color). These are essential if you want to get through the game intact. Even better than this, the controls are responsive and the collision detection is spot on.
There isn’t an awful lot more to say about this. Highly recommended for the casual or hardcore shoot ‘em up fans.
