Sigh...
I read this review hoping it would be different than the others I read but it seems this game really doesn't live up to my expectations. (not the reviewers fault, lol). I imagine I would enjoy it anyways. The original is a hard hard game to be compared to. I am just geeting down from watching Nintendo come sooooo close to reliving the glory days and coming up short. Nostalgia is a cruel cruel mistress.
Indeed. I wanted to try and cut down the back log so what do I do? Get hooked on Skyrim again after listening to the guys at work talk about it. lol!
It's on the backlog as well though so I am doing something, and I have beat three gamecube games in the last year so that is some progress.
Depth perception when jumping on things is a problem I always have with mario sunshine as well as galaxy. I can't remember if it was a problem in mario 64, probably because I was still so blown away by it being 3D back then.
I will probably buy a 3DS XL this summer so there is 1 they can chalk up. lol
I noticed a couple of the games you mentioned said nonplayable. What does that mean?
I never had the original xbox so I never really played much halo unless I was at a friends house and we were doing multiplayer with networked consoles. It was extremely fun. I am just now playing the campaign for the first time with the anniversary edition and I enjoy it. I'm not all that into the story and still hav'nt figured out how so many people went bananas over it but it is a fun shooter and the AI must have been something spectacular at the time. It isn't perfect, yet by no means do I think it is a bad game. I guess some people have to hate something when it gets popular. That never bothers me much as I make my own decisions if I feel something is good or not.
Nice review! I remember my neighbor having this game and it was pretty fun but also challenging. Did they ever do a proper sequel?
BTW, it is great to read reviews of old games brought back for the new folks. Keep up the good work!
This is a great game. I was lucky enough to play it back in the day when it was "state of the art!" lol. I'm not sure how it holds up today becasue I will always see it through those eyes. It is cool though to see newer generations go back to the gaming roots and enjoying it.
I can't say it is the best myself but I always loved Simon's Quest. It was the first Castlevania I played though. I was surprised when I read all the hate it gets. After thinking about it, I get why a lot of people don't like it. I can't shake the first impression it left on me though. Being the first dark/scary sort of themed game I ever played always made it a winner.
Welcome. The stalker thing is how I ended up here as well, though I still have not blogged much. :)
