Death Crimson OX

Plot: "On July 29, 2010, the city of Saronica comes under attack by an army of monsters called the SMO as they lay siege to the city, capturing it and ruling the populace under an iron fist. During this, The Resistance is formed in an attempt to stop the SMO, lead by a woman by the name of Lily who is kidnapped when she attempts to help a man by the name of Kou. After she is captured, it is learned the man has come into possession of two ancient pistols by the name of "Crimson" that can destroy the monsters and their vicious leader. Kou sets out with Lily's daughter, Yuri, to bring her back and stop the evil forces within the city."

The game is basically a House of the Dead ripoff, with the ability to use your 'machine gun' powerup by holding the trigger and then letting go of it. Ports for Dreamcast and PS2 also exist, the latter port is known as Guncom 2 in European territories for some weird reason. It does not offer much in terms of content, plus that there aren't alternate routes to visit, though sometimes it feels difficult mainly due to how fast enemies can react. No wonder why this game was a commercial failure except probably in Japan. Should I recommend this to anyone despite all that? I guess not, but if you're a masochist then maybe.
