#LETHAL ENFORCERS 2 GENESIS SERIES#

Friendly Local Chinatown: The not-so-friendly setting of Stage 2 (Chinatown Assault).Hostages simply vanish a few seconds after being shot, but not before the game admonishes and punishes you for shooting them. Everything Fades: Enemies flinch and blink out of existence when shot.The game will also become tougher, with extra enemies showing up, if you play with two players. Losing a life will reset it back to normal. The longer you go without losing a life, however, the less time they wait before shooting, until you have to have superhuman reflexes to take them out. Dynamic Difficulty: When the game begins, enemies will take around three seconds to shoot.Dual Wielding: The Stage 2 boss has an infinite supply of swords to dual wield and throw at you.Digitized Sprites: The first Light Gun Game to use them.Dark Action Girl: Plenty of female criminals will try to put a bullet through you.Card-Carrying Villain: The Stage 2 boss has a kanji which means 'villain'.Both levels culminate in a boss battle, respectively against a rocket-launcher wielding boss on an armored car and a helicopter whose side-turret spams missiles on the players. Car Chase Shoot Out: The first and fourth levels have the player(s) taking on escaped bank robbers and drug dealers, respectively, in a car chase while firing at enemies periodically sticking themselves out to shoot at the players.Enemies will simply blink away in the frame of animation you shot them on and hostages will be unharmed, but the game will throw a 'Caution!' message on the screen and take away a life. It also removes all references to Chinatown in 'Chinatown Assault,' with the title becoming 'Downtown Assault' and the 'China Inn' renamed to simply 'Restaurant.' Most oddly, no one flinches from any shot. Bowdlerise: Stage 4, 'The Drug Dealer,' becomes 'The Gunrunners' in the Super NES port.Blatant Burglar: Per the North American version of the trope, all the bank robbers wear black clothing and balaclavas.Behind the Black: Mooks, especially knife mooks, will emerge right on top of you, no matter how well you watch your position.Battle Amongst the Flames: Before the Final Boss battle in the Chemical Plant, an explosion occurs and the area darkens with flames in the background, forcing you to put on your night vision goggles while you shoot at the terrorists and tanks.Bank Robbery: The first stage of the game requires you to put a stop to this.All There in the Manual: The player character is a police officer named Don Marshall and the game is set in Chicago, Illinois.Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You: The cover art of the first ◊ two ◊ games.While other officers will show up to provide 'backup', they don't actually help you at all and really do nothing except provide more innocent targets that player has to avoid shooting by mistake. Police Are Useless: Every cop except you.

In the third game, this applies to bosses as well. Instant Death Bullet: Every shot fired by the player will kill a mook instantly.Compilation Rerelease: Lethal Enforcers I & II for the PlayStation.Bloodless Carnage: A slash mark appears on the screen when a blade hits you, but otherwise no blood is shed.

The series as a whole contains examples of: The game plays like a mix between a gun game and a racing game you and an opponent race through each stage, clearing out enemies in order to reach the goal before the other player, while using a Time Crisis-style cover system to avoid enemy gunfire. This is because it is actually the localization of Seigi no Hero ('Heroes of Justice'), the Spiritual Successor to the Police 911 spinoff. Lethal Enforcers 3 was released in 2005 for arcades only, and plays completely different from its predecessors (but similar to the Police 911 spinoff). You are tasked to tracking down an international Yakuza group named Gokudou-kai.

In these games, you race through each stage, clearing out enemies in the High-Speed Battle in order to reach the Cat-and-Mouse Boss stage, while using a Time Crisis-style cover system to avoid enemy gunfire. There is also a spin-off series called Police 911, also a sequel to the first game and is set in Japan.
