Killer Instinct - Game Boy Review

Killer Instinct on Game Boy?  Seriously, why did this ever get made?  To start off with, Game Boy has 2 buttons.  I believe this game originally utilized 6 buttons.  It is impossible to play, it is slow, and the graphics are choppy and blocky.  The music is terrible.  It sounds like just a bunch of beeping. The last screen shot above shows the game on the Game Boy player cart on the SNES with the color border. Do yourself a favor and just stick with the SNES version of this game.  Overall, it gets a 2 out of 10.  Cheesy and barely playable.

Ultraman - SNES Review

Quite frankly, this game stinks.  There are eight stages with monsters that you battle through.  You knock their power down until it says finish and you shoot a laser at them to kill them.  The moves are basic and the game play is super slow and boring.  Another thing that sucks about this turd of a game is that there is no 2 player mode.  If it had 2 player vs mode it might have made the game a little easier to swallow.  Music is repetitive and boring, and sound is sub par for the system.  Overall, I give this game a 3 out of 10 stars.  Nothing special about it and if you want it in your collection, don't pay more than a buck for it. 

X-Perts Sega Genesis Review

Late release Genesis game that in my opinion is pretty boring.  Released in 1994 and making use of the 6 button controller is X-Perts.  The graphics are pretty good but the rest of the game is lacking.  It is slow and sluggish, and the game play is terrible.  The whole point of the game is that you switch between 3 characters in real time and try to do missions where you disable computers and restart elevators, etc.  It gets boring and repetitive after about 10 minutes.  Overall, I give this game a 3 out of 10 stars.  There is nothing really special about it and it is really not even worth playing. 

Black Hole Assault Sega CD Review

Yet another beat 'em up game for the Genesis.  This one in my opinion is really bad.  The moves are limited and the game play is shotty.  As with almost all Sega CD games, the sound, music, and graphics for the cut scenes are great, but the actual game is lacking.  The graphics for the game are pretty good for Sega CD but the game play ruins this game.  You basically travel to different planets fighting robot enemies one on one.  I am not of big fan of fighting games anyway but this one really falls short.  It gets boring after the first fight and never gets any better after that.  Overall, I give this game a 3 out of 10 stars.  Mediocre and not fun at all.   

Double Dragon NES Review

This is a port of an arcade game of the same name.  They did a pretty good job translating this game to the NES.  There is a different kind of element to this version where you get experience points in addition to your score.  Each time you reach a certain point level, you get a heart and level up.  Leveling up gives you a new special move with every heart.  You can get a headbutt, a jump kick, and the ability to knee you opponent in the head and throw them to name a few.  There are two difficulty modes that make the game challenging and boss fights at the end of each level.  There is also a mode that allows you to fight against a second player like a fighting game such as Street Fighter 2.  Overall, the game play is fun and the graphics are great for the NES.  The music in this game is also pretty cool.  It has a funky kind of vibe to it.  I give the game a 7 out of 10 overall.  It would have gotten a higher rating but the amount of glitches in the game bring the rating down for me.
