NCS Product Synopsis
Original
Update: February 27, 2004
«©NCSX»
On a
simple battlefield, a trio of soldiers mount the
attack against a group of armed opponents. The bald
warrior protagonist wields mere spears, the female
throws bombs and shoots from a pistol while the male
whips out a rifle. Each weapon has advantages - for
example, the spear is capable of arcing over
barriers to hit enemies behind them while the
firearms have a longer range. The most versatile
warrior is probably the lady warrior who is armed
with a gun for straight shooting as well as a bomb
attack which arcs over barriers to reach enemies who
are located above ground, on a platform, or other
elevated position.
Levels progressively scale in difficulty from the run and gun game
of the early going to the busy blastathons of later
levels. Gain Ground never reaches the
rapid pace of arcade games such as Gauntlet or the
adventuring depth of Baldur's and it sits somewhere
far away. We'd liken it more to a stutter step
action game where players move, shoot, retreat.
Move, shoot, retreat. Do that a few hundred times
and the gist of Gain Ground becomes
clear. Similar to all other Sega Ages games,
Gain Ground includes a history leaflet which
may be bound into the Sega Ages 2500 binder that
shipped inside the limited edition of Phantasy Star
SA2500.
The front of the bonus leaflet features artwork where a hand
grasps an energized sword on the left portion of the
piece while an army stands at the ready within a
fortress on the main portion of the work. On the
flipside, the leaflet features an old System 24
flyer, screenshots, character portraits, pages of
sketches and text, and a Creator's Note all crammed
into a tightly spaced sheet.
Region-Coding PS2
