    Gal Gun: Double Peace is a game that is at its heart a on-rails shooter. You are a student at a school who has been hit by a super-love arrow and have to shoot "pheromones" at girls that are either influenced by the "love angel" or a demon. In addition you can pick up little extras such as finding items that are tasks given by people in the school which appear in your cell phone. TheGal Gun: Double Peace is a game that is at its heart a on-rails shooter. You are a student at a school who has been hit by a super-love arrow and have to shoot "pheromones" at girls that are either influenced by the "love angel" or a demon. In addition you can pick up little extras such as finding items that are tasks given by people in the school which appear in your cell phone. The shooting is mostly controlled by the left analog stick, sometimes with the D-Pad to switch directions and the square button for shooting and the right shoulder button for zooming. Personally I find that type of control not as intuitive as a move control, e.g. "Blue Estate" had an interesting idea to use the controller in a vertical position to hold it like a gun, but it works well enough.
    Typically a player will choose story mode to begin the game which essentially is a combination of shooting and visual novel elements, you will even have options that influence the story and thus, there are multiple endings. Besides there are some sections where the player has to touch the girls and raise a gauge. These sections resemble a little of "Dokidoki Majo Shinpan" or "Criminal Girls", I don't find those terribly interesting, but it makes for a change of pace, and sometimes the controller touch pad needs to be used which I find relatively hard to figure out how to do right. The story is cute and silly, though not particularly deep or original, but it does the job.

    I don't often play on-rails shooters and my favorites have been the "House of the Dead", "Typing of the Dead", and "Time Crisis". In my opinion the shooting sections are not quite as good as in those, but there still is quite a bit of variety and the graphics are quite clean and fluent. I deliberately chose the PS4 version, because from the Critic Reviews I could tell that the Vita version would not be quite as responsive.
    As for the replayability of the game, the story mode is rather short, you'll get through it in maybe 2, 3 hours, but with the branching story line and many unlockables there are enough incentives to play this again. There is also a Score Attack mode, so you can try to best your personal High Scores.

    My main critic points are the lack of move controls and the lack of sub titles for the voices, since they are in Japanese, it would be sometimes great to know what the characters are saying.

    I would give this a 7.5, but there are no half points on Metacritic, so I gave it an 8, this is with respect to it being an on-rails shooter.    … Expand

    This game brings something new which we hasn't seen in a while, and delivers on what it tries to give. It's a bizarre adventure in the format of a rail-shooter, where the innuendos fly rapidly, and fan-service aplenty, though it takes no damage on the gameplay which is solid as a standalone.

Personally I love the puzzle parts where you do quests and try to find hidden objects admits all the havoc. Minigames like getting the schoolbook filled out (including the girls measurements and weak spots) and the dating sim elements + routes also give the game an RPG feel which keeps the overall progression going, where you always feel you get further despite if you mess up or not during some of the runs. It won't be game of the year, but if you are into fan-servicy games and bizarreness combined with an unique but functional gameplay, then this is defiantly worth your money.… Expand

    This game actually isn't bad if you give it a chance. I know you're snickering but it's actually slightly tougher than even House of the Dead. You have to shoot a certain area to get points and sometimes that area may not be visible or it may be very hard to get to.

    But the game plays like a cross between House of the Dead and Time Crisis. You shoot girls with pheromone shots and they become euphoric. The mini-demons add a little more difficulty and if you think that it's too easy, remember that God-like rank is a challenge that requires you to know every level backwards and forwards. Also the game has over 70 endings, so there's something there every time you play.    … Expand

    Fun rail shooter mixed with dating sim. Memorable characters, hilarious set up, and gorgeous art. Really the most fun I’ve had on PS4 outside of Spider-man. Makes me wonder if the majority of the downer reviews are coming from sexually repressed conservative types with no sense of humor.

    Rail shooter dont le but est de tirer sur de jeunes filles sexy en chaleur.
    Plus vous leur tirer dessus plus vous accumulerez de points améliorerez votre shoot et les jeunes filles seront de plus en plus chaudes.

    Well if you are interested on this kind of games then you are in for a fun ride, while it looks like just a fetish weird game, it actually has some decent dept on its mechanics, all girls have 4 points that u can shoot and there is a limited number of girls so if you remember which part is the critical of a girl you can start to do some crazy quick combos, while the bosses are prettyWell if you are interested on this kind of games then you are in for a fun ride, while it looks like just a fetish weird game, it actually has some decent dept on its mechanics, all girls have 4 points that u can shoot and there is a limited number of girls so if you remember which part is the critical of a girl you can start to do some crazy quick combos, while the bosses are pretty decent, they are a bit rehashed so they arent always as fun as one would expect, still its a fun quick on rails shooting game… Expand

    The premise of this game stands in a long tradition of iffy sounding anime setups. But it means silly anime/harem tropes combined with arcadey rail shooter gameplay, a soppy yet outrageous story with collectibles and score attack modes, and for me an absolute joy to experience.

Unlike any other rail shooter I've played, this one has 70+ unique and recognisable characters you'll be aiming at with individual voice actors (speaking Japanese), weak spots and backgrounds. It also benefits from being the second game in the series, where everything just seems to be perfected.… Expand

    We analyze one of those titles that could only come from Japan, Gal Gun Double Peace, one of those games that mixes two genres as diverse as can be visual novels and shooter on rails.

    A funny game which replayablity and tons of content makes an interesting choice to play…if you can surpass its “fanservice” content.

    It's clearly not for most people, whether it controls more smoothly on PS4 or not. But it's also a cut above a whole bunch of equally offensive games, and for that reason (if nothing else), it deserves its share of praise.
