House of the Dead is better

This game is a bit short. It has a few alternate routes, where you are allowed you to choose to go left or right at certain checkpoints. But these alternate routes are very short, and do not make a big impact on the fun of the game, or the story of the game. So there is not enough replay value for you to go back to choose one of the alternate routes.

House of the Dead is more interesting in that the story moves along differently depending on which rooms you go into.

Confidential Mission may appear like a copycat of Virtual Cop, but I own both Virtual Cop games for Saturn and they are a lot more fun than Confidential Mission.

Too much fun!

This is one of those games that I just can't believe I'm playing on my own TV and not at an arcade. I haven't played the arcade version but I can't imagine it being much different/better than this. The gun (I have the MadCatz gun) is a must though....Buy [Confidential Mission]!!!

Not quite James Bond

...buys you an arcade port of a three level shooter. Yes, I was one of the people with high hopes when I bought the gun and House Of The Dead 2 that there would be many shooters for the Dreamcast, but all there is is the aforementioned and the Saturn Virtua Cop 2 that was included in the Smash Pack. Just because Sega is the only one still making shooting games (but not making an official gun??) doesn't make this one a great game. The voice acting is some of the worst I've ever heard, and the main character is a James Bond wannabe. This game can be completely finished in 2-3 hours including the training missions. It seems to use the exact same engine as HOD2 with no enhancements, but a lot less gore. This game is at most worth a rent, not a purchase. But it is significantly better than those ... titles on Playstation, so if you need an impulse purchase, do get this one.

A great game, though short

.... I played it once in the arcades, and when I saw it for dreamcast, I knew I had to get it. The graphics are good, (not the best, but incredibly good.) and the action is intense. The voice action is good, though Howard's is a tad strange. Though there are only 3 levels, they are very, very chalenging, even on the normal setting. This game is great fun if you liked virtua cop, an excellent two player game, and is a great buy at [price].

Short but sweet

Confidential Mission is a very fun game, though I never got the chance to play it at the arcade, so when I saw it for 20 bucks I bought it. What I got is a really good game, but it is very short (only three missions). It's worth the price and its a good bit of fun, and the extra modes add replay value.

the best shooter game for dreamcast

I played this game in the arcade(this is THE BEST arcade game there is) and it is AWESOME! The graphics are unparralled and also the gameplay is awesome. Not only do you shoot people you also have to complete objectives with your gun. Like you have to use your gun as a grappling hook to get onto a building, and also your gun can do a variety of other things. The graphics in this game just can't be beat and 2 player rules! Be sure to buy 2 lightguns because this game rules even more that way!

This Game Is Awesome In The Arcade!

I've played this game in the arcade, and I have to say that it is the best so far. The graphics are great and the sound FX set new standards. It's such a shame that Sega of America is not releasing the standard arcade light gun for Dreamcast. If you've ever played Crisis Zone (Like Time Crisis, but with a machine gun and only 1 player) you'll love this. Targets appear on nearby enemies, so you won't have to search the whole screen! The sub-missions are really cool, they require you to use awesome weapons and reach certain objectives in a given amount of time.

NEAT GAME! Just way too short.

I like the weapons involved in the game. I like the games plot. I like the games graphics, sounds , characters , even the enemy no kidding! But i dont reccoment it because like one of the guys who wrote a review about this said that he beat it on the hardest difficulty the first night. He is so right. It only has 3 missions. Its major boring after awhile its a rent not a buy. After you return it you wont want to even think of playing it agian. But its neat just wish it was longer. You can do the CMF Training but dont even expect in a year to finish all the training. Some of the training sessions are impossible. But if you some how get a miracle of beating them you can do another world which is just the game all over agian except that its much harder and the enemys move in different directions. Rent dont buy please dont you wont be ashamed you rented it. .... If you wanna know a good light gun, try the mad catz. Its the most accurate, cool, and comfortable gun out on the market. Now the StarFire buy interact .... Read my review on the starfire lightgun by interact whenever you get a chance if you want to. I never wrote a review on mad catz.

Well worth it!

Others have said this is a rental only title...Rent it? I wouldn't dream of just renting a rare classic when I can buy it at a fair price. I'm an avid light-gunner, so I'm a bit biased, but this is nearly as good as House of the Dead 2, but it is a bit short in length, thus I subtracted a star from my score. Of course you need a light gun to fully enjoy these kinds of games. The ultimate set-up is 2 light guns, either for dual-fisted fun by yourself, or to have a friend over and play side by side. Mad Catz makes the best gun and they're reasonably priced right now. Get 'em while you can folks! These are great games on a great system. Sure to be collectibles someday, if not already. Those of you who've returned your copies of this game and feel triumphant, will someday regret your decision when you feel the urge to play again someday and find you'll have to pay twice as much a year or two down the road. The graphics are very nice, the acting is cheezy as it should be, the light-gun gameplay is fantastic, and the frame-rates are smooth. What more could ya want?
