My Thoughts:
I have so much fun playing this game. Style is really fun and looking around the rooms, wondering what behind the doors is entertaining. I still own this game and i play it every now and then. my only gripe is that i hate it when you go into a room, then soldiers spawn and circle the door until you leave. Its not helpful when you only get two hits and you die. The Machine gun is always a big help, but the guys that hid in the windows always surprised me.
Plot & Gameplay:
The player takes the role of Kenny Smith, an agent of the 98th Special Forces, also known as "Code Name: Viper", who is assigned by his commander, Director Jones, to investigate a large drug syndicate that covers all of South America. Smith's objective is to rescue a missing Viper agent in each of the syndicate's seven hideouts and uncover clues of the Syndicate's true mastermind.
The gameplay system is similar to Namco's 1986 arcade game Rolling Thunder. Like in Rolling Thunder, the player can jump or drop down between floors by holding the directional pad up or down and pressing the jump button, as well as enter doors to obtain power-ups or avoid enemies. The player can be armed with one of two weapons (a standard issue pistol or a semi-automatic machine gun for continuous firepower). Items includes additional ammunition for either weapon, extra health, a time extension, and extra lives. Unlike Rolling Thunder, the player can shoot while jumping and can also change directions during midair.
The strength and attack patterns of the standard enemy soldiers that the player will face is determined by the colors of their outfit. In addition to the standard enemy soldiers will face other adversaries such as Snipers, Frogmen, and Maniacs. There are a total of eight stages, with three difficulty settings.
Music: I think the music is really catchy and i memorized them just as much as the original Mario music.
