This game is a nightmare

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 16 April 2008 05:07 (A review of Bebe's Kids)

Bebe's Kids first of all i never watched the movie never herd of it just i thought i would check out the game and see what it was like.

I don't get the story plot and really who cares well you play as this girl or boy and you start fighting in various places. The only level i played was the 1st which has you in a theme park beating up some guy dressed as a mouse or such. The game just takes ages to knock a guy out and while thats happening your been timed which is just beyond a joke. It takes over about 15 could be 20 i never counted to knock out some guy.

The people who made the game are silly to even make a game that bad i mean you can get way more fun from Final Fight and Sega's Streets Of Rage. Believe me avoid this and check out the footage on the video section on gamespot and you will see what i mean.

I never even finished the game i just got that bored i turned it off thanks for reading.

Unreleased for a reason

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 16 April 2008 04:24 (A review of Cheetahmen II)

First of all this game was never released and another thing the game is not complete it is a mess the last thing the only way i got to play this was with a NES emulator.

I finally found one of the worst games ever and it came to this game develop by Active Enterprises a company which created another bad game Action 52. Now Cheetahmen 2 is an unreleased title and we can why for that reason without of a doubt this game is unplayable you can't even past the first level every time i try a get killed.

The problems with this game is you have enemies coming at you and walking through walls and to top that they disappear and reappear. First of all you will see this uncompleted character just walking back and forth and even aiming for you. You get a bird that does fly over your head and to try and dodge this is just hard. You have snakes, some kind of dogs and this ugly little thing walking on the floor all coming at you. To top that off you get blocks which do not even come in full use of the game they make the game even more of a problem. The blocks you jump on them and some you the only way to get down is jump before i knew it by jumping off that block i died. The blocks also come in ways during fighting enemies which still to me became a huge problem. This game made me mad and people call this game a collectors item they are stupid as well as this game having a fan website yeah i found one unbelievable. The controls are to slow to dodge stuff which becomes annoying and sometimes the controls don't even respond. The music is also bad i do not see why the music is so popular because it is terrible. The character Cheetahmen are stupid the whole idea is everything about the game is just keep away from this awful game.
It's a wonder why i could speak so much about this terrible game thanks for reading if you did

Broken and overall a bad game

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 16 April 2008 04:20 (A review of Action 52)

Action 52 was developed by Active Enterprises the game after reading back at the release of this game they said it would cost $199.00 i don't know if it did as i don't live in America.
Action 52 feels like a joke it has this cheap intro with some pretty good music at the start but thats the only good thing to say about it. The game features 52 games i only played a few but playing them they had glitches and was not made properly. One of the games had you playing as a chef you walk around the kitchen i found myself walking around beating same things i beat before it was looped over and over. I tried the other games and still it was all messed up most of these games feature the same problems bad design, horrible music and the games just don't work. Cheetamen was another game featured in the collection which i never got to play but i did play Cheetamen 2 and believe me it gets worse. Active Enterprises were stuck in a dream world with games that they rushed much like this one which is one of the main reason they went out of business.

Best wrestling game on old gb

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 16 April 2008 04:14 (A review of WWF Superstars)

WWF/WWE Superstars all i can say really this game was fantastic i loved it though it only features a few wrestlers been Mr Perfect, Hulk Hogan, Ted Dibiase, Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior. The graphics are done well for this game even though it is on the Game Boy the wrestlers do look like them and you can see them they are not to small us other were on Game Boy.

The themes sound great which are all included in the game alone with music while your playing the game which is good and which is something you may remember while playing the game. This only features a single match so you get no tag team, cage etc. Thought playing the game you get a storyline of a wrestler sending out a challenge then Vince McMahon will speak in text format not with his voice. This is a great game and if you still have a game boy it is worth checking out. There were so many Game Boy games of wrestling i am not including Game Boy colour here but there was so many and this was the only one that stood out.

1 good game with 2 bad ones

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 16 April 2008 04:06 (A review of Sega Smash Pack)

Sega Smash Pack is just a really bad collection though the only good game is Golden Axe on the collection.

Golden Axe looks well on the GBA and the sounds are good if you have played the Mega Drive version you may notice little difference.

Ecco the Dolphin is featured in this to but this game sucks i never found it fun and to me it is not a Sega classic.

Sonic Spinball one of the worst Sonic games i have played Sonic in a pinball game this was bad back on the Mega Drive and still is just a terrible game.

If you were to buy this i would only get this for Golden Axe because it is a top quality game.

Slow and worst version

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 15 April 2008 10:52 (A review of Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis)

Before i start this review i was playing this with a Game Boy Advance emulator.

Sonic's 15th birthday this game was to celebrate it and what is disappointment after hearing how bad this game was i decided to play it. Trust me the Mega Drive/Genesis version were brilliant this one is just bad the first level of Green Hill Zone seemed fine but then comes Marble Zone which becomes hard and worse. Then the others get worse and slows down causing you to get killed it's annoying which i had to switch off the game yes it's that bad.

The game really suffers from really bad frame rate which makes you die i got trapped during the block and lava which i could not get out. That is the main issue to the game and adding this you get another mode called Anniversary which not that different at all.

The sound is alright some of Sonic classic tracks have been made different a little as you know it is Game Boy Advance. The graphics are pretty good which the only decent thing you can say about this game. As with the Mega Drive/Genesis version you have a wider screen while this version has cut off some parts cropped i should say this even makes it more hard to play the game.

As Sonic is Sega's mascot they should not be really making bad Sonic games it really makes the company look bad I mean if Nintendo make Mario's game good because he is there top mascot but Nintendo have had problems with there games. But with classic titles such as this one they really should not have messed up on one of Sonic's best games.

This release never did make it to the UK only the US and thank god we don't need terrible games as this as i was saying this game is unplayable drives me to mad and it goes slow way to much just so much problems with this.

If you want Sonic then buy it part of the Sonic Mega Collection on various consoles or buy the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Collection on PSP or PS2 because thats the best you will get this Sonic from.

One of the Best consoles

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 14 April 2008 09:27 (A review of Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) console)

I used to own the Super Nintendo and believe me it was a great console it has so many classics on it. The classic games such as Donkey Kong Country Series, Mario series, Killer Instant i could go on and on.

The system is so reliable all the time i owned this it never broke on me neither did the cartridges. I got rid of the SNES which i regret but i still do play the games on my computer with an emulator or i download the games on my Wii.

Mario Kart bigger better then ever

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 12 April 2008 11:37 (A review of Mario Kart Wii (with Wii Wheel))

I went and bought this game Firday when it got released here at 12am thats how much i wanted this game and i never go for a game at that time but here is my review and playing you about this version of Mario Kart Wii. Mario Kart on the Wii bigger better then all the others what makes this game on your Wii so great is having it online adds more fun to the game. Classic racing tracks have been put into the game from SNES, N64, Gamecube, GBA and DS along with new tracks. Online features 12 players to race online and a battle mode which you can play coin runner you have to collect the coins along with your team who gets the most wins. Then also in battle mode online there is balloon race you and your team get 3 balloons if any get knocked off the other team takes 1 point. This is great i have spent over 7 hours on this game and yes i have been taking breaks to let my Wii cool down. This game is so addictive and so much fun without of a doubt it is the best game that the Wii has to offer and i can't even include Brawl because it's not out here yet.

Playing this on single player is boring which i never played much it was just too easy you will more fun online.

The Wii Wheel adds more of a real effect to the game easy to use and play making the experience more enjoyable and entertaining trust me it does not take along getting used to it's very easy. As for Mario Kart it has not failed to impress me yet only Double Dash did but mainly because this is online it really proves how good it is. Well worth the money.

Just to add if you have a game save of Super Mario Galaxy it will unlock Rosalina in Mario Kart Wii

Gun a must have on PSP

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 6 April 2008 04:25 (A review of Gun: Showdown)

First of all i hate westerns but then again i thought i would check out Gun i like 3rd person shooters and i have to say i am impressed with this game. The game has a good story plot with interesting game play. The only problems with Gun Showdown is the shooting is not that great and the Wild West feels like a ghost town the only people you really meet is enemies.

Gun is great to have on your PSP with volience which looks even more fantastic to game. The game is well worth buying even if you do not like westerns you may still like it.

Worth checking out

Posted : 1 year, 8 months ago on 30 March 2008 02:33 (A review of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams)

Nights is a decent game it has some great cut scene's with a lot of detail which are beautiful to look at. The game it's self is alright but it's not once of those Wii titles that will keep you going for a whole lot of time. The good thing is this game is online but finding someone online can be hard.
