Gunstar Heroes is a run-and-gun shooter video game, and the first game developed by Treasure and published by Sega. Treasure’s debut game was originally released on the Sega Genesis in late 1993, and later on, ported to the Game Gear by M2. In February 2006, Gunstar Heroes was released as part of the Gunstar Heroes: Treasure Box Collection for the PlayStation 2. It is also available on the Wii’s Virtual Console. In 2009, it was released on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. In 2015, a 3D Classics version was released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
The game’s premise was altered slightly for its western release, but is generally centered around the exploits of the Gunstars, a mercenary family out to stop the Empire, a dictatorship that seeks to revive an ancient weapon by using the power of four gems hidden throughout the planet. It has been listed among the best video games of all time by various publications.

SEGA Universe ratings are built from the review sources available for each game.
Community reviews are submitted by SEGA Universe members and use a 5-star rating system.
SEGA Universe reviews are editorial reviews written specifically for the site and may contribute to a game’s overall score.
For games originally released on classic SEGA platforms such as the Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis), Saturn and Dreamcast, historical magazine reviews may be used to provide contemporary critic scores from the time of release. These scores are normalised to a 100-point scale before being included in the rating.
For newer releases, Metacritic scores may be used when historical critic reviews are not available.
Not every game uses the same review sources. Some games may only have community reviews, while others combine community reviews, SEGA Universe reviews and critic scores.
Each available review source contributes equally to the final rating.
