    Gives you plenty of targets, but no real reason to keep pulling the trigger. [Dec 2001, p.113]
  2. This game is the very definition of generic; everything about it is lame.
  3. It's hard to recommend Death Crimson OX to anyone but the truly desperate light-gun fanatic.

    There's no logical reason why you should buy this game as it barely offers a challenge, contains dated visuals, the game makes no sense, and overall, is no fun to play.

    With only a single path through six quick levels, there’s no way for us to recommend this to anyone but gun game collectors. [Dec 2001, p.112]

The game is nearly playable at times, and the hitbox detection is so bad that you will rarely hit a boss but they will always hit you. The first 2 games are atrocious and this one is a bit better but still pretty bad, a cheap and poorly made clone of House of the dead 2 Full Review »
