El Shaddai. It's actually not that bad, but it feels like they didn't even try to develop the main protagonist. Enoch, there is a problem, and everything is not fine, so you can stop saying that. (his only line in the entire game is "No problem, everything's fine." and he's always saying it)

In the beginning, they make it look like you're going to fight seven fallen angels, and all seven even appear before you in the beginning, but later its revealed that 2 of them somehow died during the decent despite that, plus another one was killed without even saying anything.

Despite all of this, I love the music and the visual effects, and the gameplay isn't all that bad either. Except for the random motorcycle level where they attempt to make Enoch seem like a badass of some kind. I say the devs have been watching too many movies.


Though the first Harry Potter game for the PSX comes in a close second, only because it was my first console game. (I got into console gaming late. I was exclusively a PC gamer until that point) Also they put Peeves in, unlike the movies. So I'll give it points for that as well.

The more impressed I am by Blood Will Tell having all 48 Fiends. More than the live action Dororo flick in fact. Now that's what I call a complete game.

Not a lot of people seem to care about Guilty Gear 2: Overture (understatement) but it was actually my main reason for picking up a 360. I thought it was a serviceable mix of RTS and Hack 'n Slash. It was a weird change in pace from the usual and it loses a lot of soul by focusing on Sol & Ky only, but I admire Ishiwatari's efforts for trying something so bold and it's easily his second best soundtrack right after The Missing Link.

What's that have to do with what you quoted?

What, you can't do math? It's not even my statement or quote, and I understand what he was getting at.

I absolutely love the Onechanbara series. I'd go so far to say Z Kagura is actually a straight up good game, just nobody pays attention to it. It's a million times better than Lolipop Chainsaw for sure.

I really don't see how quoting me pointing out that you only fight four of the seven fallen angels has anything to do with what he said. As far as I can see, my quote has nothing to do with whatever he was talking about. (though it might help if I knew more about whatever he was talking about) By the way, the only math involved was in my original statement.

Blood Will Tell, being Dororo the Video Game, had 48 Fiends and every single one was a boss. Something Dororo the Movie didn't have.

Funny, I always assumed Blood Will Tell was some kind of western. I'll have to hunt this one down then!

Use double tap for dash in Blood Will Tell (insted of default L3). Once you obtain your left leg, that is (I think it was left, but don't quote me on that).

I fucking love Sonic 06.

Something about becoming good at avoiding all the bugs and mastering such shitty controls is really satisfying.

Aww come on man, that shit was awesome! It was practically parody but it was awesome. And yeah I love that game, I think people were dissapointed with the story because they expected a Biblical saga exploring life the universe and everything, but instead just got a simple little quest.

I have a friend who also likes that game. Watching it, it doesn't look too bad. I haven't played it, but it seems like the hate is a bit unwarranted.

Every Review I've read hated this game but for some reason I love it. Music is charming and the game play isn't bad either. Though the later stages can get really difficult for me.

Controls were fine with me just took a bit of getting use to with the analog stick. People hated it apparently.

Yeah, none of SNK's brawlers were great, but I have fond memories of Prisoners of War too. It's like the Guevara of belt-scrollers.

I enjoyed Bubsy 2 to some extent. It's definitely an improvement over the original. Some critics seem to really loathe it though.
