Product Information

Point Blank Adventures (2015) ( iOS, Android) – A new free-to-play title in the series, built from the ground up exclusively for mobile; it features over 200 stages and Facebook integration. Like its immediate precursor, the touch screen is used instead of a light gun. Ricciardi, John (November 1997). "Top 10 in Japan". Electronic Gaming Monthly. No.100. Ziff Davis. p.28. Gunvari Collection + Time Crisis (2002) ( PlayStation 2) – This title is a Japan-only compilation of the first three Point Blank games and the first Time Crisis (1995), which was the seventh title from Namco to use a light gun.

In the 3rd port, Namco dropped the Quest mode. This is not a big loss though, because Endurance mode half way makes up for it. Loaded with the original arcade game, an all-new quest mode and extra areas created just for the PlayStation game console.

The variety in the mini games was welcomed.The main characters were cool in their own way. The 5 modes were more than enough to keep me hooked. Even with 1 gun and 2 people, the excitement never stops. The scoring and rating system is great for honing your skills. a b c Fielder, Lauren (December 23, 1997). "Point Blank Review". GameSpot .

An all-new RPG-quest mode will send you to Point Blank Island on a crazy bullet-filled quest for the mysterious "Gunball." Point Blank 2/ Gunbarl ( ガンバァール, Ganbāru) (1999) (Arcade, PlayStation) – Released half a decade after its precursor.

In Japan, it was the seventh highest-grossing dedicated arcade game of 1995. [9] According to Electronic Gaming Monthly, Point Blank was a " cult favorite" in U.S. arcades. [10] If you've ever played the arcade version of Namco's Point Blank (or Gun Bullet, as it's called in Japan) or the import version for the PlayStation, then you likely know just how many tokens you can go through or how many restarts you initiate in a very short amount of time. This puzzle/shooter title, which sometimes unmercifully lets you have only one bullet and five seconds to complete a task, can be replayed free, endlessly, and to perfection, as it's now available for the Sony PlayStation - in English.

The stages are incredibly irresistible and fun, luring you into a seemingly endless stream of continues until you either succeed at a challenge or get a red flag for that level and move on to the next. If you fail, you'll lose one life and continue with the set until you're dead. Whether you win or lose a level, you'll get a certain number of points for how hard you tried (or how long you managed to stay alive). Once you finish four levels, you'll get four more until you either die or the difficulty level is complete - at which point, you fight the final battle and disappear into a flurry of fireworks and adulation when you win. NOTE: This is not the only possible combination of plugins. There are others that will work (better or worse) for your particular hardware. We provide you with one working set-up so that you may get the game up and running, hassle-free. Testing other emulators/plugins is up to you. If you've got a friend or a group of friends, Point Blank 2 features a wide variety of different play modes. The arcade games are enabled as well as turf wars, tournaments and a team-play option. You can also give certain players handicaps or enable penalties. Up to 8 people can play by alternating Guncons.

The PlayStation version was the third best-selling video game in Japan for the week ending August 10, 1997. [11]As well as converting the arcade game in its entirety, this conversion also offers a new Quest mode, a Party Play system and more. Spellings Point Blank 3/ Gunbalina ( ガンバリーナ, Ganbarīna) (2000) (Arcade, PlayStation) – Its Japanese name is a pun on Thumbelina. Play alone, head-to-head vs. a friend, or start a round-robin team tournament for up to eight players! Upon completing all stages, players will have their performance ranked. Point Blank 1& 2 's ranking is based on how many points have been accumulated, lives remaining, and how many continues have been used, and will advise the player to advance up to a higher difficulty, try out head to head with a friend, return to a lower difficulty, or to practice more. Point Blank 3 and DS ranks numerous aspects of a player's performance such as concentration, accuracy, judgement etc., and then presents them with an overall letter grade. Point Blank portrays the story of two gun-slinging companeros and adventurers, Dr. Don and Dr. Dan, who look amazingly like Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie after a healthy dose of Rogaine and about 20 years hard time. You adopt their collective identity throughout the single-player and two-player head-to-head score-battle mode. Once you select your experience level, beginner, intermediate, or expert, get comfortable with and calibrate your GunCon, as this is the third US title to be compatible with the accurate-within-three-pixels light gun. From this point, a jumble of four distinct challenges from within a larger grouping will be presented to you. Select one of them, and the game starts.
