Meta Rizer 2

Petropolis Metal Wars (ペトロポリスメタルウォーズ) is an action-adventure game created by Namco. It is the sequel to Petropolis 2, although it features a different cast of characters in a new setting. It is also the first and only Petropolis game (until Petropolis 5, and not including the spinoffs) to make a transition into 3D polygonal graphics. It was released for the PlayStation in 1997.

Story
The game takes place in Azure Island, a sister island to the Petro Islands. Almost a year after the Chimera King failed to destroy the world, a swarm of alien robots commandeered by the Galactic King Angelus began settling into the Azure Islands, planning to mechanize the entire island into their new settlement. Spike Sparks, a young skunk beastman who carries a weapon known as a Power Shooter, travels the island in search of strong fighters to defeat Angelus.

Characters
Spike Sparks: The main protagonist of the game. A young skunk boy raised in the Cobalt Village who was given the Centurion Power Shooter from his parents, who left him to fight against Angelus. His parents' determination to fight the Galactic King inspired him to travel across Azure Island to find other fighters to help him defeat Angelus. Spike's Centurion Power Shooter can fire spinning tops and features a lock-on mechanic.

Teri Lewis: A cool-headed koala tomboy who is also Spike’s friend since childhood. As arrogant and bratty as she looks, she also depends on her partners. When she noticed that Spike is about to fight Angelus' army himself, Teri chooses to join him so that he can be by his side whenever he is in trouble. Teri herself has a Power Shooter she dubs the Fast Valentine, which fires quick small bullets and can activate a barrier around her and her teammates.

Ray Brooke: A red Labrador beastman who owns his own Power Shooter store, which he named the PS-Shop. When he met Spike and Teri fighting Angelus' robots, he offered his services to the two by deciding to repair their Power Shooters, as well as upgrading them to make them more powerful. It is later revealed that Ray is the cousin of Julie Vixen, who lives in the Petro Islands. Rather than a Power Shooter, Ray instead uses B-Power, where he can materialize certain gadgets from his Battle Watch.

Donovan Sheldon: A large buffalo beastman who was a former member of the Black Raiders under the leadership of Hikari Manatsu. His first encounter with Spike was an unfriendly one, as he and the other Black Raiders were ordered to attack him on the spot. However, he fails to win over Spike and instead begins to change for the better. While he remains hesitant for a while, he eventually offers to train Spike and in the process befriends him. Donovan's Power Shooter is the Hyper Reflector, which can also transform into a shield.

Hikari Manatsu: A female cheetah beastman who is a fierce fighter, especially against Angelus' forces. Because of this she formed the Black Raiders. But once she heard about a skunk who easily overwhelmed her forces, she decided to go up against him herself. Even after training herself up for the fight, she still was no match for Spike. However she admired her rival's skills and resolve, so she decided to join him. Hikari's Power Shooter, the Orange Fang, is also a chain-sword that she can shoot.

Eileen Shore: A flying fish beastman with a cold and fierce personality. Originally she did not approve of owning a Power Shooter because of a terrible experience she had in the past. However she met Teri and the latter was able to teach her the basics of wielding her own Power Shooter. When the mechanical beings of Angelus kidnapped Teri, Eileen stood up to them and began attacking them with her signature moves. Since then, she became more independent of using her weapon. Eileen's Power Shooter is the Splash Ring, which is able to fire streams of water at the enemies.

Spade Black: A spider beastman who is the owner of a worldwide company known for building defenses during certain wars. He has even trained Hikari before her fight against Spike. However, when Angelus' machines arrived, his company became compromised, forcing him out of a job. Fortunately, he was able to assist Spike's team of Power Shooters with his appliances. Spade's own Power Shooter, the Blizzard Tarantula, is a vehicle-based weapon that Ray was able to rebuild.

Homer Forester: A mysterious ram beastman from Scarlet City. He remembers Spike since they were kids, and was elected mayor at a young age. When he was told about Angelus invading Azure Island, Homer simply carried the order to evacuate everyone until the invaders are gone. This is also so that Homer himself can enter the fray against the robotic aliens. He carries the Power Shooter he dubs the "Silver Effect," which is able to cause many aftereffects to enemies that are shot.
