This game kicks so much ass. You pick between two characters who can either run and shoot ala Contra or stand and shoot in 8 directions. Gunstar Heroes has an awesome weapon system allowing you to combine two weapons together and it has just plain cool weapons. You can shoot enemies, throw enemies, and slide into enemies, lots of fun :) Gone is Contra's one hit and your dead gameplay, now you have numbers corresponding to how much health you have, you have 1 life and continues, so the game is pretty hard. My favorite level is the one in which you have to play a board game and play a whole bunch of fun minigames. Great graphics and explosions, there's some neat 3d effects here and there too. The music is great too. Treasure is the master of platform games, and it shows! I give it a 10

On a side note, Guardian Heroes is the mediaval sequel on Saturn to Gunstar Heroes, it even has a a cameo appearance by the last boss of Gunstar Heroes! It's my favorite beat em up next to River City Ransom.

Hiryu basically sums it all up for this game. The graphics are so nice because of the awsome raster effects used throughout. Also the psuedo 3D effects of some of the levels and bosses is really mind blowing. Graphically this is about the best I have seen done on the Genesis. It definitely ranks as one of the best G/MD games ever done. Animation is also very smooth and the soundtracks do have quite a bit of punch. Two player mode is the best way to really take it to em in this game. It will usually set you back a few on Ebay, but in the end it worth it.

The game type of this similar to that of contra,
besides it have a better graphics(very good among genesis), a combination weapon system, and close combat(throw an enemy or jump kick them).
You could also see the energy level of the boss, so you would find your target on the boss.

On each round, you would see different style of boss and enemy, which wouldn't make you feel bored on.

The game is quite hard, unless you get the skill on close combat, the game is not very focus on the power of weapons, but the close combat.

If you like action game, this game is your must try.

Gunstar Heroes was a great game except for a few things like that annoying boss in the mine level that took ages to destroy because he had lots of power or something...that was definitely something that wore my controller out! The level with all the crates where you shot everyone was better though, as it just made me laugh seeing all this fire killing everyone! (Don't call me a maniac yet...)

This is one of my favorite Genesis games. It's really fun playing two players and throwing eachother into enemies. Throwing is actually really helpful against bosses. It can do like 2000 damage! The first time I threw my bro into the boss it killed it and it was so hilarious!

I completed this great title a couple of days ago. The gameplay is superb and the variety is amazing for its day. Only gripe is there are probably too many bosses!
