GRIS 04-20-21 03:56 PM |
Gris: A Beautiful Tale of Grief [b]Overall - 10[/b] Gris is an absolutely stunning experience that perfectly combines beautiful art and music with a purposefully vague yet deep story. The gameplay is simple and easy for anyone to pick up. [b]Graphics - 10[/b] The art of Gris is really where it shines. The visuals are very vibrant and stylish, with landscapes designed to look like paintings. Though the game is 2D with flat assets, the multi-layered scrolling of the background gives a lot more depth to the environments. The color palettes of the environments change as the story progresses, which of course leads into... [b]Story - 9[/b] The story follows the protagonist who has lost her voice and must restore color to a dreary world... or something along those lines from what I remember. Forgive me, it's been over a year since I played this (and it's certainly been [i]a year[/i]). The story is told entirely through visuals rather than text, making it largely up to the interpretation of the player. The progression of the story is likely symbolic of the 5 stages of grief, which makes sense considering the protagonist's struggles seem to represent some sort of deeply painful trauma. [b]Sound - 10[/b] The soundtrack perfectly follows the tone and atmosphere throughout the game. It makes the intense moments even more impactful and . I'm admittedly not much of a video game music guy (it's not something I usually pay attention to at all), but the sountrack for Gris is beautifully composed and ties the whole experience together. [b]Depth - 7[/b] The game clocks in at about 2 to 3 hours long, making it something you can sit down and play though in one sitting. There's not much to the gameplay beyond simple platforming and puzzle-solving, but you do unlock new mechanics throughout which keeps it fresh. [b]Replayability - 7[/b] Though the game is short, there are optional achievements and hidden collectibles (known as "mementos... Read the rest of this Review |
LSD - Dream Emulator 07-03-14 02:32 PM |
I am at a total loss for words. Overall - 8.2: This game is a first person explorer, similar to the Namco Museum series on this system. So, with that being said, I kind of like this genre. Well, sometimes... The game is OK, but not as good as the Namco Museum series. Anyways, I don't know what the developers were thinking when they made this game. It is about the dreams you may have while taking drugs. Why they put that in a video game is totally beyond me. Maybe they decided to make an anti-drug message, or perhaps they just wanted to enforce the drug. Either way, this game sparked a lot of controversy, perhaps due to the disturbing imagery and / or the drug references. Either way, this game is still good, despite the concept of drug abuse. So, without further ado, let's get onto the review. Graphics - 9: The graphics are pretty cool, I guess. In some places, they are kind of colorful. In others, they are bland. But, mostly, they are just downright creepy. There are also some weird things, such as a giant statue of a foot, creepy-looking babies, and... God, it's just so random. The backgrounds are also weird, too. You have a small house, a village, a seizure-inducing lake, a city at night, a female womb (Yes, with creepy-looking babies), and so much more. The imagery, though creepy and weird, can also be violent. In one scene, you will find a couple of dead bodies on the ground, with blood alongside them. I also remember seeing someone jump off of a bridge, and then the screen flashed red when he / she landed in the water. This game definitely deserves a mature rating. So: Graphics = +10. Gore = -1. Grand total = 9. Sound - 8: This game has pretty good sound. There is realistic walking sounds ( Of course, not that it really matters, it's just...) and the occasional ominous sound to keep in the horror mood. The music is surprisingly upbeat for a horror game. But, maybe it's just there to make the game a bit more creepy (Yes, games actually do that). T... Read the rest of this Review |
Frappy SNES (flappy bird clone) 06-19-14 01:13 PM |
Frappy SNES - Why so much hate? Overall - 9.3: Frappy SNES is a clone of Flappy Bird for the SNES. If you don't know what Flappy Bird is, it is a mobile game where you flap a bird to go through pipes. Though it is fairly simple, it caused a ton of uproar and popularity, causing the creator to remove it from the app store permanently because it "ruined his simple life". Anyways, this clone is actually fairly good, but it has a lot of haters (If you don't know what I mean, look at the descriptions of the high scores.), and I am here to show you why. Graphics - 10: The graphics are a nostalgic mix of Flappy Bird and Nintendo. Instead of a bird, you flap a SNES with wings (Wait, WHAT?), and the background has Nintendo consoles instead of buildings. There is also a SNES logo on the left side of the screen, and you get NES cartridges instead of medals. Sound - 9: This game has awesome sound effects. The jump sound is the one from the original Super Mario Bros, bringing back so many memories. The death sounds kind of like a 'boom', and then the Game Over screen comes in with a 'boing' sound. There is also some awesome title music. Addictiveness - 10: Ah, yes. I could spend hours on end playing this game (But I won't, because I have other things to do.). The simple gameplay and raging difficulty are 2 signs that could make an addictive game. Story - N/A: This game has no story. It is just simply a game where you make an SNES fly to go through pipes. Simple enough. Depth - 6: For a game that has this much attention,you would think that it was a huge game with a deep storyline... It's not. The game is simple. You flap a SNES to go through an infinite amount of pipes. Yeah... It's that simple. In fact, a Flappy Bird clone only takes a few hours to make. Difficulty - 10: This is where most of the anger / hate for this game comes from. The game is so difficult. People say they hate this game, but they probably secretly like ...

Minecraft 02-22-14 12:08 PM |
The Best Game Ever! Overall - 10: Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is a sandbox game where you can do anything (almost), and it is probably one of the best games you'll find on the Xbox 360 Marketplace. In this game, you can explore the world and build structures to protect yourself from the vicious monsters that come out at night. As you move along in this game, you can also mine for ores, craft tools and blocks, build awesome structures, and roam the biomes in search of generated structures (Like Villages, Strongholds, Dungeons, and more!). Graphics - 10: Some people hate Minecraft's graphics because the game is made of blocks, but I think Minecraft's graphics are great! You can sit atop a mountain whilst watching a beautiful sunset. Not many other games let you do that. Also, the block textures (Though only 16 by 16) are very detailed. Sound - 10: Minecraft also has amazing sound/music. The in-game music is very calm and relaxing, fitting in with the game's beautiful scenery (If you happen to be on peaceful, that is). There are also many music discs that play great songs (Well, some of them, not so much), and the game's sounds are very realistic. Addictiveness - 10: Will I be likely to play this again? Of course I will! Even though I have Minecraft on the PC, the Xbox version lags less (For me, at least) and it's easier to join a server with some of my good friends. Also, the tutorial world is awesome and the Ender Dragon battle is amplified on the Xbox version (He spews acid and fire charges). Depth - 10: Need I say more? Minecraft, even on other systems, is basically INFINITE. If you run out of space on one world (Which is unlikely because the worlds are about 860 by 860), you can just start another. You can build anything and the game never ends! (Besides 'The End', which you can even explore the world after). There is so much to do! Difficulty - 7: Minecraft is pretty hard. There are many monsters that you have to f... Read the rest of this Review |
Pitfall! 10-18-12 06:42 AM |
The first of it's kind. Overall: This is (overall) one of the best Atari 2600 games. Pitfall, though, was also released for many other systems, but today we're focusing on the Atari 2600 version of the game. Graphics: The graphics are another special thing in this game. The snakes and the fire have great animation. There aren't many better graphics for the Atari 2600, because these graphics were just plain great! Sound: The game's sound deserves a 10, only because it wasn't as repetitive as it's sequel's music. Hearing this game's music is happy and joyful. I got the biggest kick out of the Tarzan music that plays when you grab onto the rope. Addictiveness: As I said before with Pitfall II, I will be playing this game later on, but not on Vizzed. Hopefully I will be getting Activision Anthology soon. On that, I will try to beat it, avoiding the one pain in that game: The crocodiles. As I get better at that, I will start playing other games on the cartridge. Depth: This game has 32 moneybags, scattered around in different screens with similar elements (eg. Tar-pits, barrels, ropes, lakes). Watching a video, I heard that there are 255 scenes. Wow. This game is almost as big as Super Mario Brothers, which is a great achievement for a system less advanced than the other one I mentioned (NES). Difficulty: As I said before, the only thing that really holds me back in this game is the crocodiles. They are really hard to overcome, even if I do know how to get past them. Wrap up: To finish my review, let me just say that this is my favorite 2600 games, and this is my favorite version of Pitfall. Until my next review, bye. |
Pitfall II - Lost Caverns 10-14-12 09:21 AM |
What made the A2600 so special Overall: Pitfall II is what made the A2600 what it is today without a doubt. It is one of the best games for the system and it's one of the biggest, too. Graphics: Another gold mine in this game. The graphics are pretty detailed for it's time. The frog is an example. It looks great on the Atari. Sound: I have to give the sound a 9, only because it was repetitive. The sound was great, and I love how they added music, but the music itself is so repetitive, that after a while, I wish I could throw my headphones out the window. Um... moving on. Addictiveness: I will play this game many times to come, but probably not on Vizzed. Once I get Activision Anthology, you will notice my low Atari 2600 activity. Depth: This game is probably the biggest on the Atari 2600. It has many screens, lots of gold, and lots of enemies. There really isn't much left to say, so we'll move on to difficulty. Difficulty (like I said): This game is probably the hardest on the system. The placing of enemies and the length of your jump makes the game harder.. So, that was my review.If you like it, great. If you don't, oh well. |
Super Pac-Man 09-27-12 06:52 AM |
Almost better than the original Overall: In my opinion, this is one of the greatest arcade games for it's time. It is also possibly one of the best arcade games ever. You can become a giant Pac-Man. Exactly how awesome is that!? Very. Graphics: The graphics are another thing that is amazing about this game. The intermissions in this game were better, and less gruesome ( in my opinion, the intermissions in Pac-Man were a tad too gruesome, especially when Pac-Man ate the ghost's skin clear off his body) from the original Pac-Man. Sound: The sound in this game is great, but I will never feel that It's better than in the original Pac-Man. The sound in this game was great, but the sound in Pac-Man was memorable. The reason I didn't give this game a ten in sound is because the "Pac-dot" (actually, thing-that-replaced-the-Pac-dot) sound effect was very off. Instead of "wa" or "ka" it would play "waka waka". Apparently the new objects were the equivalent of four Pac-dots. Addictiveness: This game is fun to play over and over again. That's why I added the game, Ms. Pac-man Special Color Edition (it has this game in it), to my wish list. There's nothing more to say about the addictiveness, so I guess I should move on. Depth: This game was pretty big for it's time. It had a total of 16 different levels. Most arcade games at that time would only have about eight. Again, there's nothing more to say about the depth, so I'll be moving on again. Difficulty: This game isn't really that hard. The only real hard part is controlling Super Pac-man. It's almost impossible to turn where you want to go. It's especially hard in the challenge stage. Wrap up: The levels repeat after every 16 levels and this game was ported onto Namco Museum Volume 2, Ms. Pac-man Special Color Edition, Namco Museum Remix, Namco Museum Virtual Arcade, and Namco Museum Megamix. |
3 Games in One! - Yars\' Revenge + Asteroids + Pong 08-11-12 07:25 PM |
3 good clasics This good game should be divided into the 3... good ...classacs that are in here, as such: PONG 9/10: Pong is an amazing title, but why on a handheld? I mean It's not like they used the link cable, so........ why? Well, I think DSI Games/Atari were looking for an awesome arcade game that people would buy this title for. Well, It was an okay title for them to put in this cartridge. At least it's decent, though. ASTEROIDS 9/10: Addicting. Just plain addicting. Like Pong, this game is highly addicting. I understand why they put this game in the collection. I also like how if you press select, the background changes. I'm not sure if this is the best game in this collection, but it is the most normal game in this collection, so... yeah. YAR'S REVENGE 8/10: Yar's Revenge is a pretty good game, but, sadly, it doesn't have the Easter egg from the original Atari 2600 version. Well, this is a weird choice to have bundled up with 2 legendary arcade games. This isn't even an arcade game. It's an Atari 2600 game, as I said before. So, there's what I think of this game. I would buy this for, at most, $5.99, unless you're a die-hard fan of any of the games. |
Namco Museum Vol. 1 07-14-12 01:12 PM |
1st Person wonders This is a very great game. I would recommend this as a gift?because it would serve well (whatever that means) to a retro gamer. The graphics are great. It's almost like you're ACTUALLY in a museum. Yes, you can walk around the museum as Pac-Man. How cool is that?!?The sound?is wonderful, especially in the game rooms. I like how they added a "jukebox" feature. In that, you can listen to music from the games and the museum.The games in here are really fun to play over and over (except for the infamous 'Toy Pop'), but I personally like to cruise around the museum and learn something new every time I play it ( not exactly every time, but close enough to it). I am so happy I still have mine. It is in a wonderful condition, yet my PlayStation 2 still reads it as an audio CD. The museum mode got me hooked for hours. It was so fun walking around for no reason!?It isn't that hard to do anything when you're in the museum. The games make up for that because they're pretty confusing (me playing Toy Pop; WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?!?!!1? *Throws controller at TV*). To wrap it up, the point of this review was that this game is really awesome and would make a good gift. |
Mario Paint (Joystick) 07-08-12 07:51 AM |
Outstanding! This game is another Best-on-the-system. I don't think the Super Nintendo could have had any better games. Like all the other ones, it stands out. There was another game like it, but if you're a fan of Mario Paint, that one might be a little hard to control. Let's move on to the graphics. The graphics are great, but considering that this is a game where you make pictures, this is what you'd expect. The sprites look really cool and everything else that isn't related to drawing is very detailed. The sound is really good, and if you don't like it there are other tracks to be played. Even though the other tracks don't sound that great (in my opinion), that just proves there's something for everyone. Playing this again is an I-would-if-I-could scenario. I don't have the Retro Game Room Plug in anymore, so... This game is pretty big. You could spend hours on the title screen and you can make your own tracks. Even though this just proves that Nintendo is trying to go above and beyond, they succeeded. This game isn't hard at all, but it is a pain in the _ well, you know what I'm trying to say _ to make a song.To wrap it up, let me say I know it is a confusing game, but it's not as bad as other games. |
Super Mario Bros Deluxe 04-17-12 10:32 AM |
Better than the rest This game is a wonder for those of you who are nostalgic or just love platform genre games (me). There are no cons except for the missing content in the lost levels and the camera scheme. There is a lot of content and the second game was added. For a Game boy color game, I doubt this could be any better. Look. I know the Game boy color is 8-bit, but it doesn't mean the graphics could be better. The title screen and the map screen look great, but I think the game play could look just a bit better. I know we want it to look like the original Super Mario, but that's what the whole point is (I'm only talking about the camera scheme, mind you. The GBC could have easily put SMB on the whole screen). Just because the sound isn't exactly like the original Mario doesn't mean it's better than it. I do like the title screen music and the map sound effect (the beep... beep...... beep... beep one). Everything else isn't really better, but it still is great. The newly added mode select music sounds really cool. I also like the toy box music. It reminds me of Galaga '88 "Ragtime" (level 14 of Galaga '88). This game never gets old, no matter how old it really is. Besides the original Mario, you have content that can be unlocked. There are You Vs. Boo races that you unlock for 100,000 points. I've never really done one before, but I think they're really fun. Then there's the unreleased-in-America Super Mario Bros. 2 AKA Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels for 300,000 points. This is just like the original Mario except with a new so-called "power up"... THE POISON MUSHROOM (and different levels and more levels although they were chopped off in this version)!!!!!! This mushroom acts just like an enemy, either shrinking you or killing you... I see why it's too hard for Americans. This game is missing some content like worlds A,B,C,D and the wind. It's always a challenge getting 100,000 or 300,000 points in the original Mario. The story is the sa... Read the rest of this Review |
Namco Museum - 50th Anniversary 12-24-11 07:46 AM |
Arcade Feeling OVERALL: When you walk out of a video game store, make sure to have this in your shopping bag. Why? Because this is a very great game for your Game Boy Advance. Why again? Because playing this makes you feel like you're in a small retro arcade that has a stunning outside view. It's a long story. GRAPHICS: The graphics are great in this game. The only part of this game that has very great graphics is the game selection. It makes you look like you're in an arcade with a small view of a city. It's very cool when you look at it closely. SOUND: If you like a mix of 8 bit and 32 bit, then this is the game that you'd want to turn up all the way. With interesting music and sound effects, this game deserves an A+ in sound. ADDICTIVENESS: This game is VERY addictive. And when I say very, I MEAN VERY. This Game Boy Advance game has 5 action-packed games to keep you on your seat for hours. This game is great for traveling or power outages. DEPTH: Game Boy Advance games aren't usually anything compared to this. Five games from the 1980s are good enough, but all of the new stuff that was put in this game makes it the best on the system (All I'm saying is that this game is really big). DIFFICULTY: This game and 4/5 of the games in it are kind of hard (Dig Dug is easy). Also, this game does have a lot to do (If 5 arcade games are a lot). All of the games are really hard to beat, and there is a "finish" to this game. It is super hard to get to, though ( Beat all of the games to "finish" them. WRAP UP: To wrap things up, here are a few random facts about this game. Press select during a few games to change the size and angle of them. Press B on the game select screen to change the settings in the games. Sometimes the animations might get messed up in a couple games. Those were my few random facts about this game. |
