Games Gone Bad

by kenzo287

Well other than the obvious blue hedgehog response I would say Soul Calibur since 3 was a bit disappointing but now that 4 is out and it looks great I guess I can't say that. I guess I'd have to say Banjo and Kazooie. I dunno about you guys but Nuts and Bolts just looks bad like really really bad. Though I'm sure it will be an alright game I just don't see the appeal that made me rent the first...

Well other than the obvious blue hedgehog response I would say Soul Calibur since 3 was a bit disappointing but now that 4 is out and it looks great I guess I can't say that. I guess I'd have to say Banjo and Kazooie. I dunno about you guys but Nuts and Bolts just looks bad like really really bad. Though I'm sure it will be an alright game I just don't see the appeal that made me rent the first one eight times. Another big one is Star Fox. I mean look at the original. It is a 16 bit masterpiece. The sequel is one of the best games ever made and then Rare made it into an adventure game which was good for what it was except then the flight was horrible and that's what the final boss was a flying fight! And the guy you think is the main bad guy isn't even a boss battle! What was the point of even including him if you're just gonna make me fight Andross for the third time. Thank goodness he was actually killed but then the sequel screwed up too! Namco did a much better job with the flying than Rare did but then you go to the second mission and you're out of the cockpit and onto the ground. If I could I'd play the first mission over and over again just because of the epic scale of the battle and the fact it's a fully flying mission. Star Fox Command is pretty good but it's not enough to save the series and I hope they do something good with Star Fox on Wii. If you played WarioWare Smooth Moves you probably played the Star Fox mini game on 9-Volt's set and if you ask me a linear style Star Fox game with those controls would be perfect. Even if it's a small WiiWare title I'd find some way to pre-order. So to answer the question of the day: Star Fox but there's hope for it unlike other more blue franchises.
