==Gameplay==
===Console, PlayStation Portable and PC versions===
Players control Flame Thrower Bortz by beating up enemies and entering rage mode. In this game, he now gains experience from defeating enemies and leveling up to get a new rage attack. He also must find a key or reach a specific level to access a restricted area.
This game has two arcade modes instead of one. Arcade Mode 1 has Flame Thrower's normal attacks while Arcade Mode 2 has his normal attacks replaced by one melee attack and one ranged attack. Arcade Mode 1 is unlocked by beating the second level with Arcade Mode 2 being unlocked at the end of the game after beating the fourth level.
The console game is a 3D game while the PlayStation Portable and PC game is a 2D game.
====Arcade Mode 2 differences====
In the console versions, Flame Thrower has two spears strapped to his arms and is able to breathe fireballs. In the PlayStation Portable and PC versions, he swings and shoots a plasma cannon at enemies instead.
===Game Boy Advance version===
The Game Boy Advance version is a shoot-em-up game that has Flame Thrower shooting a flare gun at enemies and his rage attack consists of shooting fire lasers at them from his eyes while also throwing his flare gun at enemies like a boomerang.
In this version, Flame Thrower can switch between normal and rage mode using the L button. Switching into rage mode will also damage enemies that come into contact with him.
===Nintendo DS version===
The Nintendo DS version is a 2.5D side-scroller that has Flame Thrower do punches and kicks to enemies, firing lasers at them from his eyes as well as doing a dash attack on them.
There are also touchscreen minigames to do to open the door to the boss in each level.
In this version, Flame Thrower's rage mode is disabled when he gets hit and unlike the other versions, Flame Thrower only has one rage attack.
