Descpription:
This is the first Psikyo shooter to feature medal-chaining;
picking up 2000 point medals (when they flash) repeatedly results in a
slight point increase and a coin chain, recorded separately from the score.
This was present in Strikers 1945 III/Strikers 1999. Gunbird 2
also has the hardest 2nd loop of any Psikyo game to date.
Through gameplay cutscenes (and endings) it appears that the zany, uproarious
(and at times rather adult) humor is considerably increased since the original Gunbird.
The game has numerous similarities to the Parodius series,including the
final boss in the game, a cartoon elephant playing a trumpet.
When God, the elephant, is defeated in battle at the end by the player, he
surrenders a potion to the player(s) and a usually hilarious ending occurs.
