Lethal Enforcers II: Gun Fighters, known in Japan as Lethal Enforcers II: The Western (リーサルエンフォーサーズ2, Rīsaru Enfōsāzu Tsu), is a 1994 arcade game and prequel to the original Lethal Enforcers. In contrast with the first game's modern law enforcement theme, Lethal Enforcers II takes place in the American Old West.

Ports of the game were released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and the Sega CD. The game was bundled along with the first Lethal Enforcers game as part of the PlayStation compilation Lethal Enforcers I & II.

Years later, Konami released Lethal Enforcers 3.

Gameplay[edit]

In this game, the goal is to shoot outlaws in order to eradicate crime from a stereotypical town in the American West of the 1873. At the beginning of the game, three to five life units are available. In the arcade version, more can be purchased by inserting additional coins. Life units are also awarded based on how many points the player scores while playing the game. Every time the player, an innocent civilian or lawman is shot, one life unit will be lost. The game overs when all life units are gone, but continued play is available.

Lethal Enforcers 2 has five stages: 'The Bank Robbery', 'The Stage-Holdup', 'Saloon Showdown', 'The Train Robbery', and 'The Hide-Out'. During each stage, the player must shoot the armed outlaws without harming any innocent townsfolk or fellow lawmen. One shot is enough to kill most enemies. Each stage features a boss that must be killed in order to complete the stage (though a unique case happened in the third stage where the boss battle is in the form of a dueling mini-game). Just like the original game, a dip switch setting in the arcade version allows operators to let players progress through the stages in a linear fashion ('arcade mode') or select individual stages ('street mode'), including the between level target practice stages.

Weapons[edit]

The player's gun (a six-shooter) can carry up to six bullets. To reload, the player must aim the light gun away from the screen and pull the trigger. Additional weaponry can be found throughout the game that will give the player better firepower: .50 caliberSharps, rifles, double rigs, shotguns, Gatling guns, and cannons. The Gatling guns and cannons can each be used only once but the other four weapons can be reloaded the same way as the basic service revolver. If a player is shot while in possession of one of those acquired weapons, the acquired weapon is lost and the player will return to the basic service revolcer.

Ranks[edit]

There are different ranks that the player can attain, depending on how well the player performs. The ranks are: Posse, Deputy, Sheriff, Deputy Marshal and U.S. Marshal. When the game begins, the player's rank is Posse, and after each stage the player will be promoted, provided they have not killed any innocents. If the player has killed innocents on any stage, they will either maintain their rank or will be demoted. On Sega Genesis and Sega CD port, the accuracy for each stage corresponds to the given rank:

  • 59% or below: Posse
  • 60-69%: Deputy
  • 70-79%: Sheriff
  • 80-89%: Deputy Marshal
  • 90% or above: U.S. Marshal

Reception[edit]

Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Genesis version a 6.2 out of 10 average, commenting positively on the two-player mode and variety of weapons.[1]GamePro gave the Genesis version a perfect 5.0 out of 5 in all four categories (graphics, sound, control, and funfactor), citing the variety of weapons and their individually distinct firing patterns, sharp digitized sprites, realistic backgrounds, and the quality build and accuracy of the Justifier peripheral, which they felt worked better with Lethal Enforcers II than with the original game.[2]

GamePro gave the Sega CD version a positive review as well, saying that it is generally identical to the Genesis version but has more voices.[3]Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 6.6 out of 10, commenting that it has better music and sound effects than the Genesis version, but that the game is far more difficult than the first Lethal Enforcers.[4]Next Generation rated it three stars out of five, and stated that 'The graphics aren't good [..] but it's more challenging, since many more of the targets move this time. If you liked it once, you'll like it again.'[5]

WARNING: The following video game depicts scenes of violence. Parental discretion is advised..and how it got past Nintendo's review committee, we'll never know!

Magnum Force

You've been warned! Lethal Enforcers is a serious shoot-em-up game that puts the 'gun' in SNES gun games in more ways than one. As a rookie cop you're out to stop an urban crime spree by cleaning out the scum from five murderous levels. Konami supplies the gun (called 'The Justifier,' bundled with the game), the game, and the criminals.

Veteran gunslingers are familiar with this first-person- view gun game from the arcades, the Sega CD, and the Genesis. Is it just as good? You bet your bullet-proof vest!

ProTips:

  • In Level 5, the Chemical Plant, watch out for gunmen who hide behind other gunmen.
  • Two players should split the screen. You take one side while your partner takes the other.
  • Watch the backgrounds for faraway thugs. You can see some bums saunter into the scenes.
  • On a small TV screen, the concave edges will affect the accuracy of your shots.

Lethal Weapon, Too

You can play Dirty Harry, or Dirty Harry and Dirty Mary. Two-player gun battles are a major kick, made possible by adding a controller or by purchasing a second gun (a special weapon you plug into the first Justifier). However, you should take on the slooooow controller interface only if you have a death wish.

The Konami Justifier is the perfect SNES weapon. It's smooth, accurate, quick, and deadly. During the conflict, you can also blast icons to upgrade your firepower.

Die Hard

Bank robbers, street gangsters, hijackers, drug dealers, and terrorists are your moving targets.. and you're theirs. They pop up out of the scenery everywhere. There are three skill levels. 'Hard' is the level to beat; it's fast and literally murder!

Enforcers is only a game, but the digitized graphics look so real it hurts, especially if you nail a hostage or a fellow officer. If you take a slug, there's a cool bullet-through- the-TV-screen effect. The sounds are right on target, with great gunshots and appropriately hyper music.

You can shoot the wheels and gas caps on the cars if you like, but it doesn't help, and it can hinder your promotion by lowering your accuracy percentage. Destination treasure island game.

Great Guns

No arms control here! If you have qualms at all about gins, life-sized, plastic .357 magnum replica will be unnervingly realistic, but.. well, you wouldn't even be reading this. If you dig a good gun game, Lethal Enforcers aims to please.
