Gunbare! Game Tengoku 2 is a video game set within a video game. More specifically it's a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up where each level takes place inside a video game in an arcade. Thus you will find yourself shooting your way through a child's bedroom, a racing highway, an ominous haunted building, and other, even stranger locales, coming upon naturally bizarre bosses in the end. The game is a sequel to a Saturn-only release that was actually a port of an arcade title. Compared to that game, Game Tengoku 2 has fully-3D presentation, from the various ships you can pilot to the surprising backgrounds and enemies, but the core gameplay remains the same.

Though there are many PSX shooters with unorthodox or cutesy settings out there, Game Tengoku 2 is one of the most out-there based on the sheer audacity of its concept, and the shock factor continues to escalate with each passing level. In terms of difficulty it's fairly accessible for novices to the genre and veterans may not find a lot to challenge them, but it's worth taking on for the presentation.
