Point Blank 3 (PS)

Product Information

The corporations have the view that they know what is best. They hope to create a social utopia in which free market forces will control society and the political system will be reduced to figureheads. One part of this goal was to replace The Corps, Korogese's volunteer and conscript defense forces, with a corporate-trained-and-controlled paramilitary mercenary army called Aegis Incorporated. With the support of anti-military and anti-war activist groups financed by the corporations, the government disbanded The Corps and handed over its facilities and equipment to Aegis Inc. This was followed by a series of laws restricting personal freedoms. Supposedly enacted to combat the rising crime rate, they were really created to aid in controlling Korogese's citizenry.

Shows Damage: In stages where you have to repeatedly shoot a target until it blows up, parts of the target will explode or fall off. Depending on the stage, this will also decrease the area on which you can hit the target. What do you get when you cross a Light Gun Game with a Minigame Game? Point Blank is an arcade shooter by Namco (creators of the equally popular Light Gun Game Time Crisis). Basically it's a collection of mini-games where you're given a task and a set amount of time, then set loose until the time runs out. Meet the requirements and you stay in the game and move on. Fail, and you lose a life (or more if you shot something you weren't supposed to). The game continues onward until you either reach the last challenge or you run out of lives.The third game has a stage where you shooting various masks, among them Dig-Dug, Mappy, Valkyrie, Yoshimitsu, and Heihachi. Role-Playing Game: The story mode for the first game on the Playstation is an RPG with a surprising amount of content. Combat is represented by the existing minigames. 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. If you complete a stage without missing a shot, you will get 1,000 extra points. However, this is NOT the same as getting 100% accuracy or better; while it is possible to get >100% accuracy by shooting two objects with one bullet, if you miss a shot the 1,000-point bonus will not apply even if you end the stage at 100% accuracy or more.

In January 2014, Garena released Point Blank Revolution, an improved version of the game with a new interface and character customizations. The game was initially available only in Singapore and Malaysia but was later released in Thailand and Philippines (acquired from Level Up! Games). Game points and experience are awarded for winning a round, losing a round, killing enemies, and completing mini missions. Color-Coded Multiplayer: In colored target stages, player 1 shoots red and player 2 shoots blue. Shooting the other player's color will take off a life. Point Blank DS/ Unō no Tatsujin: Gun Bullet Trainer ( 右脳の達人: ガンバレットトレーナー, Unō no Tatsujin Ganbaretto Torēnā) (2006) (Nintendo DS) – A port of the original title which uses the console's stylus and touch screen instead of the arcade's light guns. Balloon-Bursting Bird: One of the shooting mini-games involved protecting Dr. Dan or Dr. Don from vultures, since they were floating on balloons over shark-infested waters.

Point Blank 2/ Gunbarl ( ガンバァール, Ganbāru) (1999) (Arcade, PlayStation) – Released half a decade after its precursor. One-Hit-Point Wonder: In the new Point Blank X, missing a shot on the cardboard target shooting mission will automatically end the stage and lose a life. Hold the Line: "Protect Dr. Dan and/or Dr. Don from the [enemy type]." Point Blank 2, in addition to that, has a stage in which you must keep a can in the air and a UFO invasion stage. The Final Boss of 2, available only on Insane difficulty, requires you to survive a light gun version of Cosmo Gang for 60 seconds. The ride Cosmic Drive in Point Blank 2 simulates an alien invasion. The alien opponents are Flatwoods Monsters and they want to enslave humanity. As with the first game, gameplay consists of blasting the UFOs they drive in to bits. Because this stage is in space, the Flatwoods Monsters float away rather than fall down when their vessels get destroyed.
