Pure Fighter Erika is a great anime shooter that features a first-person perspective a la Space Harrier –quite unusual for the genre. You play a round cat who shoots wrenches (monkey wrenches, to be exact) at invading hordes of funny-looking ghosts, furry critters, and other monsters. The game is a bit repetitivepower-ups are few and far between, and there are only a few types of enemies. The game is also quite difficult: two hits, and youre dead. The enemies shots are bright energy balls (laser balls?) that are very hard to evade. To make matters worse, you also have to avoid running into logs that roll toward you from the top of the screen. Overall, Pure Fighter is fun for a few minutes or so, but doesnt really much long-term play value beyond the first few levels.
