Radiant Silvergun

Unlike most other shoot 'em ups, there are no power-ups. All weapons are available from the start. However, the weapons can "level up" and become stronger as the player uses them to earn points. There is a selection of 7 weapons that can be used at any time: The game is designed so that there is almost always a "right" weapon for every situation. The bosses in the game are designed to have several "sections" that, if they are all destroyed before the "core" of the boss, give players a bonus of points. To get these bonuses, it's important that you use the right weapons on the different bosses. For example, a boss might have two sections that are on either side of the screen. You could immediately go to one and shoot it with a volcano, or you could hover in the middle and hit both of them at the same time with the side bombs. This way you'll increase your chance of getting the bonus before the time limit runs out and the boss self-destructs. The game rewards players for "chaining" enemies with only one of the three colors, red, blue or yellow. Whenever the player kills three enemies of the same color, they can receive a point bonus. This also allows for faster weapon upgrades.
