description Point Blank (PlayStation) Overview
Point Blank is a home console port of Namco's arcade light-gun shooter, released for the Sony PlayStation in the 1990s. The game distinguishes itself from narrative-driven shooters by offering a collection of fast-paced, arcade-style minigames that test speed, accuracy, and reaction time. It was designed to be played using the Namco GunCon peripheral and supports both single-player and cooperative two-player modes across its varied stages.
help Point Blank (PlayStation) FAQ
Do I need a GunCon to play Point Blank on PlayStation?
The original PlayStation version supports Namco's GunCon, also known in some regions as the G-Con 45, and that is the intended way to play. Light guns generally require a compatible CRT television, so they do not operate normally on modern flat panels.
What kinds of shooting challenges are in Point Blank?
Stages ask players to hit colored targets, protect Dr. Don and Dr. Dan, break objects, or avoid bombs and civilians. The design is closer to a rapid sequence of shooting minigames than the cinematic stages of Namco's Time Crisis.
What did the PlayStation port add over the arcade game?
The home version added a quest mode plus tournament and team-play options. Some party formats allow more people to compete by taking turns even when only one or two guns are connected.
Which Point Blank game should I play next?
Point Blank 2 and Point Blank 3 retain the short-challenge format while adding new minigames and multiplayer options. Namco also adapted the concept for Nintendo DS, replacing the light gun with touch-screen aiming.
