Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
Effectively Taito's answer to Lethal Enforcers, the third game in the Operation Wolf franchise makes for a considerably for fun experience than Konami's game. The two games share a lot of DNA: similar levels, game mechanics, power-ups, not to mention a lot of grainy, digitised sprites and background artwork.

At its core, the game is little more than a simple target shooter, although crucially, Op Wolf 3 has a much smoother difficulty curve, consistent hit detection, and fully automatic weapons. What's more, the lack of a flashing screen makes this on-rails shooter a much more pleasant experience than most traditional light-gun games which have to blank the screen to register hit detection, which is so much easier on the eyes!

Is Operation Wolf 3 better than it's prequels? In short, Operation Wolf 3, at least on the machine's default difficulty, feels much easier to play than its forebears. It dispenses with the need to collect ammunition, provides players with automatic weaponry that you reload just by releasing the trigger, and is a generally more accessible game. Unfortunately, the graphics look really bad when compared to the pixel artwork of Operation Wolf and Operation Thunderbolt, and while it's not as memorable as the earlier games, I think fans of on-rails shooters should definitely check this game out.
