Point Blank 2 (PS) ... 2, GunBarl, came out overseas about nine months ago - just months after the US release of the original game, Point Blank (or Gun Bullet, as it was called in arcades and in Japan). Now Point Blank 2, the shoot-'em-up puzzle sequel has arrived in the States. The game, like its Japanese counterpart, is not an arcade port, but rather a console-specific game geared expressly to the home audience. How does it fare? Very well indeed. Point Blank 2 is a toughened up a step beyond the Japanese version, yet it includes the same modes, such as a theme-park mode in place of the RPG-like storyline of the first game. There's also a party mode with a two-to-four-player tournament, a team battle, a really fun turf war, and the Point Blank Castle, which includes versus and endurance modes. Theoretically, in single-player and multiplayer modes, you have the same sort of timed "target" challenges that the first game offered.

... Japanese game, the practice level has four rounds, and the beginner and advanced levels each have 16. And as an added bonus, a new "insane" level has been thrown in to up the ante. Once you complete a stage, you receive stats that track your progress, from accuracy to speed of firing. The trick is to make it through all of the courses, finishing each successfully. Also in single player, the theme park mode is much more enjoyable than Point Blank Island was in the first game. As the hero (a young kid with a big gun)...more

POINT BLANK 2 There are various things to do on this game; they are point blank castle, party mode, and also training mode and theme park mode. I feel this game is good and especially when you have a gun. This is really good because you just shoot everything in the way. POINT BLANK CASTLE You can either play with or against your friend or by yourself. This is my favoured choice on the game Point Blank 2. Basically what you have to do is to go onto 16 different levels and you get a set thing to do e.g. kill 30 criminals in 30 seconds with out killing some innocent people, if you kill the people you lose a life and you have 3 lives.
