Genre: shooter Developer: Hitmaker Publisher: Sega Number of Players: 1-2 Shoot, is required for normal light gun games in recent times is not very popular among developers. Light range, namely they are and such games are too demanding genre. It is no secret that to get the full enjoyment of games of this type need a good light gun, which is not cheap, but the game on normal dzhoypade denies playing half the fun. Currently, the development of standing light shooters involved only two companies - Sega and Namco. Both teams believe that the light-shooting can and should be of interest to a large circle of players. Projects of both companies are very popular among players deservedly so: really high quality and exciting shooter - that's what these games. And in these last months for Dreamcast'a, Sega decided to release it for its last light shooter, entitled Confidential Mission. It is no exaggeration to say that the Confidential Mission is the best light shooting range on the Dreamcast. Many will say that this is so, because games of this genre on consoles is almost there. But remember that it was released on Dreamcast The House of the Dead 2, which is more than competitive products. Moreover, before the release of Confidential Mission seemed to make shooting better than The House of the Dead 2 just impossible. But, when it seemed that there's nowhere better, Hitmaker his transfer Confidential Mission for the console has proven otherwise. In addition, for the Dreamcast version contains a number of innovations in the face of Extra modes, modified the storyline and changes in the gameplay. Confidential Mission gives you the opportunity to be in the shoes of two secret agents - the men of Howard Gibson (Howard Gibson) and women Jean Clifford (Jean Clifford). Both agents are sent on a secret mission, which is to find the remote control satellite, designed for targeting nuclear missiles. This is the console was stolen from Agares Company certain virulent general who decided to help him keep in fear and blackmail the whole world. Differences between playing for the Howard and Jean for not, so in single player mode you play the role of both agents at once, simply alternating their actions. When playing as a living companion, Howard's role will get the first player, and the role of Jean, respectively, the second one. The game features three levels of standard length and construction. You pass the level, shooting at enemies and trying not to get into hostages, and civilians. At the end of level boss awaits you, for the murder of which you will need to spend about a hundred bullets. In general, the standard for all light shooting galleries scheme. In simple terms, on the passing game it will take only about an hour, if you play well. In principle, any normal player will be able to beat the game, good for beginners there is the possibility to choose different levels of complexity and the number of lives (one to eight). But do not think that passing game once, you immediately forget about it.To hold you longer in screens, Sega took a few branches in the levels themselves, and brought into play some interesting elements that will make you more than once to return to the game. Game mechanics in all light shooter has not changed since the release Virtual Cop (Sega Saturn). Has not changed it in the Confidential Mission. Enemies at all the cursor is located, by which the need to shoot for their elimination. This cursor will change colors: first, it will be green, then yellow and finally red. Color this means is, what is the willingness of the enemy. Green says that the opponent has not yet managed to charge the gun, yellow means his willingness to attack, and when the cursor turns red, the enemy will shoot. For this reason, better to kill the enemies as quickly as possible. Yes, I almost forgot, if you shoot at an enemy queue, then it thrown out any prize, and if it will fall into the hand, then he will remain unarmed. A new element of gameplay in Confidential Mission are some small insertion slot, which you should take an active part. For example, you will need to get a harpoon in another building or from the satellite to aim and shoot at the submarine. From these small insertions determines further development of the game, but sometimes it will meet some very important scenes, which can not be played. Also, these inserts will also affect the future course level. Total in each level from one to three such ramifications. If you think that these mini-tasks will be difficult for you, then you can easily practice the mode of Agent Academy, where you will learn everything you need to know a secret agent. Graphically, the game looks very decent. They look great special effects: whether the explosion, the bombing of a tank or just an explosion of barrels of gasoline. Animation is also not podkachala: enemies will jump out of the corners and dodge like in kinoboevikah. Besides, looks awesome how they beg for mercy when you fire back to them a hand! Bosses are particularly pleased. Now you do not see serious to abdominal pain villains: they are outrageously comical. Just look at the first level boss, which consists of a stout dwarf with a gun. And as you, General, seizing a samurai sword and threatens to spread all over the world to hell. All in all, have fun in the game can be pretty. So, it's time to sum up, it will be very bright. Despite the fact that the game is very short, but to get the full enjoyment need a light gun, anyway, Confidential Mission - a terrific game. If you have a friend who loves light shooting, then play in the Confidential Mission you will be very long. Yes, Dreamcast is dying, but the end game of his life are the real wealth gaming community. On this, let's bow.
