The Video Game Critic
Gate of Thunder's explosion effects are satisfying, and the game never displays any hint of slowdown. In terms of audio, Gate of Thunder features clear voice synthesis and a driving guitar soundtrack. While the music may not be particularly catchy or memorable, it certainly manages to get the adrenaline pumping. If that wasn't enough, the game features several levels of difficulty (including "devil"), and a high score that's displayed at the top of the screen at all times. Gate of Thunder is instantly engrossing and insanely fun. All shooters should be this good.

GOT opens with a great Super CD intro and turns into a great Super CD shooter! The music is hard 'n gnarly and the gameplay is fast. I especially appreciate the sampled explosions instead of the usual 8-bit crackles. The only weak point is the lack of unique environments.

All Game Guide
It's pretty safe to say that anyone who bought a TurboDUO at the time of its release played this game but now that the years have mounted you may have a harder time finding Gate of Thunder. Despite it's simple nature it's still one of the best developed shooters on the system and any shooter or hard rock fan should track this one down.
