In the mission mode, one player uses the joysticks positioned above the gun in order to move your team around. Gameplay is mostly bosses, with you running through mazes trying to kill the boss before they kill you. The two-monitor, four-player mode features a deathmatch head-to head mode between the two teams. The trigger button on the side of the gun shoots a special weapon that recharges between uses.
