"As if Gunstar Heroes’ gameplay wasn’t reason enough to play it, the game’s graphical effects also blew the minds of many a Genesis owner. From the rotating, pseudo-polygonal intro logo to the warping, scaling, and rotation effects throughout the actual game, you know Treasure knew what they were doing with this game. . . Gunstar Heroes is a classic in every sense of the word with its strong combination of technical accomplishments and top-notch gameplay. I can confidently say that Gunstar Heroes is perhaps the best run-and-gun shooter ever to grace a 16 bit console." - Racketboy
