Some offers are just too tempting for their own good, and what at first appears to be a the lucrative deal ever often turns sour. The plot behind Sega's Gunstar Heroes follows a similar line to this, yet reads like some kind of bad gag.

There's this bloke called Green who has two friends named Blue and Red. Collectively this trio are known as the Gunstar Heroes - a mighty intergalactic fighting force that don't take no hassle! One day Black, a bad guy, hires Orange to bribe Green with the promise of eternal wealth. In return Green captains a mining expedition in search of four mystic gems that are rumoured to awake 'The Creator'. Unfortunately for Green, Black has quite a reputation for global chaos. Disgruntled by the whole affair, Red and Blue disown Green and take after Black's entourage as all this Creator business is surely a disaster in the making! Get it? I don't.

Experienced shoot 'em up fans have encountered challenges such as this in the past but never one so stylish. Gunstar Heroes takes one or two players through seven stages of frantic, high-density blasting mayhem.
