Phantasy Star IV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Phantasy Star IV is a perfect example of an old-school RPG.It is one of the two greats for the Genesis, in my opinion (the other being Shining Force II).The entire series is one of the best ever made (I find it necessary to mention, or course, that Phantasy Star III is not very good, as it was made by a different company).I would really like to see a new one for one of the next generation systems (Phantasy Star Online doesn't really count).
Phantasy Star IV is a classic.It has the standard combat system, with you and the enemies on opposite sides, with attacks, special skills, and techniques which you can perform.It is still a lot of fun, though.It has a high level of random encounters, but it is necessary to fight a lot, and do a lot of leveling-up, to be powerful enough to fight the bosses.
The characters are a lot of fun, and are surprisingly well developed throughout the game.They are basically the standard Anime style fare, but of course, all have their own traits.Phantasy Star has okay graphics, but they are kind of strange.It also has the absolute best Genesis game soundtrack ever made.
Phantasy Star IV has really cool comic book style cut scenes accompanied by well written dialogue and plot.The cut scenes, to say the least, are revolutionary, and they type of thing which really puts this over the top of almost every other old-school RPG I know of.Without them, it just wouldn't be the same game.
The storyline is fairly standard, as you are a group of heroes trying to stop the evil "Dark Force".Within this set-up, it does a really good job of creating an interesting plot.I found myself entertained by it.For one, Phantasy Star IV does have one of the most sad parts ever.I was sad, at least.
Anyway, Phantasy Star IV was a great game, and for a Genesis game is fairly long, maybe 30 or 40 hours (I didn't really keep track).It is one of my all-time favorites.If you have a Genesis and some extra cash, pick this one up.

Kid Chameleon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some video games have ninjas, other games have knights in shiney armor, and others have guys riding around on hover-boards.Kid Chameleon has all three; as well as a fly, a tornado maker, a ray-gun enthusiast, a rhino, and probably some other things I'm forgetting.The levels are seemingly never-ending and the graphings are good becasue, well, they are like nothing else...as is this game.This game was great, I remember not giving a care about whether I beat it or not, because I had so much fun playing it. The Kid traveled in between layers that seemed to never end. One second you'd be in a metropolis city, the next you'd be on an island paradise, seconds later you'd be warped to the depths of hell.Kid Chameleon is a fine game indeed. It has what many of the modern games lack -- genuine imagination.Kid Chameleon was and is to this day a gem. Quite possibly the finest game ever made.

ToeJam & Earl Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Though it rarely gets the attention it deserves, Toejam and Earl is positively the best game I've played for Genises. The graphics, though of course nothing like modern graphics, still hold up well. but the game play and the characters are what make it great. the two are aliens from funkotron, a very funky planet far away. however, earl crashes into an asteroid, and as fate would have it, they crash land on the most insane planet in the universe- earth. your job is to navigate them through different levels with roads, ponds, and islands in the middle of space picking up presents (power-ups) in order to find pieces of your spaceship and then the elevater up to the next level. the game is best played with two players, which is what the creators had in mind when making the game (go to their site, www.tjande.com to read up on them). anyway, the two-player mode is even more fun, and the split screen works surprisingly well. also, as i mentioned, the characters are hilariously, from the chickens with mortars to the herd of nerds to the wiseman in the carrot suit. if you have a genises, buy this game. best of all, everything is randomly generated, so it never gets old!

Streets of Rage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this game. I played it a zillion times during Spring 1993 with my friend Andrew. I used to play Axel or Blaze and he would be Adam. There are 8 levels to work thru in a run-down and corrupt city led by the evil Mr Big. Beating up all the bad guys and the end-of-level boss is much fun. Level 4 (The Bridge) was my fave because you could chuck baddies down the holes into the river.

It also had truly fantastic music. The composer Yuzo Koshiro did absolue miracles with the limited technology of the Sega Genesis. The main theme, Level One, Level 4 and Final Boss are standout tunes.

I wish Sega would do PC version of the SOR games. It's not fair that only people with a Genesis can still play this game. I would love to own this again. It would be in my computer permanently.

Sonic & Knuckles Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game has tons of neat things. Hook on most games, and get a special stage. Hooking on Sonic one lets you play a whole bunch. Hook on sonic 2 and play as knuckles in sonic 2. Sonic 3 is neat too. Find out about the super emeralds. Or play regularly with lots of levels. The Game Genie is good on this game. (Very rare but fun. I have one)

Sonic the Hedgehog Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I will never forget the snowy Xmas of 1992 when I made the upgrade from the trusty old Commodore 64 to the Sega Genesis. I got about 1 game per week for the Genesis and tried just about everything. My first ever game tho was Sonic the Hedgehog. The gameplay was simple and that's the way I liked it.
The graphics were cute. From bright blue sunshine and tropical landscapes to the cruel mechanical world of Doctor Robotnik (now called the Eggman). The music was great (where are the soundtrack CDs???) and I was never happier.
Sure it was totally easy but I always went back for more. This game had such charm is it any wonder why Sonic is still so popular all these years on?
