Knife Edge: Nose Gunner is a rail-based shooter that straps you in the cockpit of a futuristic attack chopper. The action takes place from a first-person perspective as you battle enemies across six 3D stages by aiming a targeting reticule with the analog stick. While you do not directly control your aircraft, there are branching paths through each level and you can even dodge incoming fire to an extent. Improve your offense and defense by shooting down laser and shield power-ups. Take on the computer directly or enlist the help of up to three friends for simultaneous cooperative play.
