Shh...! Welcome to Frightfearland, originally released in Japan as Haunted Museum II: Youkoso Gen'ei Yuuenchi he (ホーンテッド ミュージアム II ようこそ幻影遊園地へ), is a 2010 arcade light-gun shooter released for April 2011, and is the second game in the Panic Museum series.
Development
The story revolves around the disappearance of 100 people in a nameless city somewhere and you play one of two special agents who are investigating the mystery. There are 15 selectable levels, 12 mini-game missions, 6 boss characters, multiple game endings, colorful graphics, and mounted guns that are exactly like the guns found in GlobalVR’s Aliens: Extermination.
The primary enemies the player will face throughout the game are killer clowns and in this regard the game has a CarnEvil feel. There are barrels, boxes and other objects to shoot which will reveal pick-ups which the player can shoot for points, ammo pick-ups and sometimes a hostage (applies to barrels only). When a hostage is saved (they have to appear on the screen and run away without being killed) the game will show you the name of the person you saved, his/her mugshot, and it will track that. There is no reload feature – how many bullets you have is shown next to the target reticule on the screen and you will find many ammo pick-ups as you play. You can switch between using a machine gun and a semi-automatic handgun by pressing the red button on the controller. In the unlike event you DO run out of bullets for your machine gun, you will be forced to use the handgun until you get an ammo pick-up.
If the players run out of health, they are given 30 seconds to continue, along with extra bullets for their machine guns if they do. The highest number of bullets that players can gain from continuing is 500.
At the end of each game session (either by Game Over or clearing all the stages), players will be presented with a "Hostage Update" showing how many people he/she rescued as well as how many more remain. They are then presented with a grade that is determined solely by how many people were rescued.
- NO GRADE -- 0 rescued
- C -- 1 to 49 rescued
- B -- 50 to 74 rescued
- A -- 75 to 84 rescued
- S -- 85 to 94 rescued
- SS -- 95 to 99 rescued
A Hostage Update showing all 100 rescued will be followed by a congratulatory screen of the missing people applauding Chris and Akira, after which the player(s) will be rewarded a grade of SSS.
