    From a gameplay standpoint, Elemental Gearbolt is standard yet solid blaster fare. You're still on rails, and enemies still pop out from pre-determined locations. It's this lack of gameplay innovation that keeps the game just shy of classic status. [Aug 1998]

    Simply stated: Elemental Gearbolt is easily one of the genre's finest moments.

    Elemental Gearbolt is just a great gun game (even though it's short). The anime cut-scenes are awesome, the game engine is super smooth with lots to shoot, and the music is fantastic. [Aug 1998]
