Gal*Gun 2 Reviews
Nothing in Gal*Gun 2 tries to go beyond what the series has done before.
"Fan service" in its purest state: if you like anime, "eroge", rail shooters, date sims and japanese weirdness (shoot pheromones to fight demons, really?), then Gal Gun 2 has all you've been looking for. The rest of the players should approach with caution and open mind: its absurd humor and the way it handles the female roles may scare your away.

Gal*Gun 2 feels the same as its predecessors with its visual novel style and its rail shooter gameplay with students that do not wear many clothes. This game is for a very specific group of players.

Gal*Gun 2 is a fun time if you haven't played the previous entry but quite a drag if you have with some weird design decisions throughout.
Gal*Gun 2 will once again grab the headlines for all the wrong reasons, but what those will fail to tell you is that the underlying experience isn't worth any sort of price to begin with. Once the perverse novelty wears off, you're left with a bare-bones shooter that sorely needs to come off the rails it is tied to if it wants to create any excitement.
It's sad that the gameplay is really weak. Perhaps in the next game developers will be able to offer a slightly more diverse story and sets of mini-games, but for now we have a very average shooter that exploits the same idea with sexy girls and anime cliches for six hours of playing time.

It's frustrating that Gal*Gun 2 is obsessed with sex as a plot point, mechanic, and motivator, in spite of everything else it has going for it.
Gal*Gun 2 offers an on-rails shooter experience that gets very familiar and repetitive far too quickly, without ever really providing enough content to keep you hooked. The pure fantasy element of the scenarios at hand is certainly the selling point, but the gameplay that surrounds it isn't strong enough to justify a purchase. If you're a fan of the series' earlier titles, or if the art and plot appeal to your tastes, you'll likely get something from the game, but anyone looking for great gaming action will likely be pretty disappointed.
Gal Gun 2 is not an original game but a non-VR version of GAL*Gun VR, with the addition of a story mode, but the controls and gameplay mechanics are not adapted to a 2D TV screen game. Disappointing.

Gal*Gun 2 is a subversive on-rails shooter that toes the line of decency with every step. Even if you can look past its questionable content, you're still left with a rather boring game.
Gal*Gun 2 is as niche as niche can be, bordering on eroge at times. It's repetitive, it's silly, but damn if it isn't fun to kill some time with, especially since it's in a portable package on the Nintendo Switch.
Where Gal*Gun 2 is amusing and an on the nose VR experience might make it more appealing, it's hard to find a reason to play besides the underline concept. This likely won't come as a surprise, the first game was like this too, it comes down to if your desire to play something like this. Because, if you don't care for the novelty, there is absolutely nothing of note here.
Gal*Gun 2 may be absolutely shameless, but those with an open mind might get a kick at how off-the-wall it is. It can get somewhat repetitive, but those with a taste for cheesecake may enjoy their time with this title, however short it may be.
You may well find Gal*Gun 2 to be offensive and intolerable. But that's all the more reason to experience it and discuss it, and because it's backed by a really good light gun experience that is bigger and (on balance) better than its predecessor, this game is one of the most playable and interesting transgressive franchises the Japanese industry has ever produced.
I'm not trying to be a social justice warrior here; I'm just saying that poking at the half-naked bodies of minors is creepy. The rest of the game is fine, and maybe there's a dialogue tree that avoids those creeper parts; I don't know. If that stuff makes you uneasy, I'd avoid this waifu game.
Gal*Gun 2 is every bit as good as its predecessor, even with its new types of stages not always entertaining as much as they should due to their increased difficulty. It's not as outlandish, which may disappoint some, but its gameplay has been fleshed-out and made more involving.
As ridiculous as it can get at times Gal Gun 2 was a pleasant surprise through and through. From its lewd premise to its ecchi scenes Gal Gun 2 knows its target audience extremely well. But even with these aside the game is a well-crafted package, offering fun gameplay which aims and succeeds in breaking from its on-rail shooter roots.
Gal*Gun 2 had the potential to be a fun game but it suffers from some serious design issues. The main gameplay is rather weak and repetitive in nature and the novelty factor ends rather quickly once you realize that there isn’t really much to do here.
Gal*Gun 2 is a weird Japanese release, and one that will not be to the taste of everyone, given its core context. I play a lot of different games and thought that while the violence in this game isn't graphic, the base mechanic has an odd-aftertaste for an American audience. If you're interested in this type of release, then you might have fun if you can get past what you see at first.
Gal*Gun 2 is a sequel that improves the gameplay of the first title but that is not enough to make it a worthwhile follow up.
