Game reviews

[The name master]

Have a game for a gameboy rated by me! I have an emulator, so I can download and play any game for the GBA! I will talk about a game and how good the music, the graphics and the quality of the game overall! Just give me a GBA game title and I will play it, and then rate it!

Dragonball Z Legacy of Goku
Dragonball Z Legacy of Goku 2
Dragonball Z Buu's Fury

These games are a trilogy. I've always enjoyed playing them.

You enjoyed the first Legacy of Goku?  That game was actually pretty awful.

The others were enjoyable indeed, Buu's Fury was good for blowing off steam.

Since I finally beat the game, I'll talk about Super Mario Land!

Though it is old, and you could probably beat it in about half an hour in a speed run of it, it is quite good for it's time. The one thing I have to mention about graphics, which may put a few people off, is that the game is in black and white. Also Mario is also very small!

In this game, you're fighting an alien named Tatanga, not some weird turtle thing. You are also saving a princess, daisy.

Instead of swimming through the sea, or using a leaf to fly through the air, Mario actually has a submarine and an airplane. In these vehicles, you can shoot enemies, which is pretty awesome! The mushroom power up looks more like a muffin than a mushroom. Well, everyone needs a little change every now and then, don't they?

The bosses are no more difficult than jumping over them, which is literally all you have to do for most of them. For the others you have to shoot them.

There are only 4 worlds I personally thought it would be bigger but it's not! The music is quite good. The invincibility theme is... and just hear me out on this one... THE CAN CAN SONG! Overall, despite being old, and quite small, this game is good, so I'll give it a 7/10!

And for those of you stuck on the final boss, I have a little tip! When he starts shooting, his balls will split into 3 smaller balls. Just focus on dodging those, and keep rapidly and randomly pressing A, you'll get him eventually!

Well, it was 1988 when it came out. HD was still 20 years away.

I'll now talk about Wario Land 3!

When you turn the game on, the story will begin with Wario flying his plane, which breaks down out of nowhere and crashes. Unharmed, he finds a cave with a music box inside. Wario tries to get a closer look at it, but it turns out the box is magical, because he gets sucked into it! Inside he get met by a mysterious figure, claiming to be the God that protected the world, but had his power sealed inside 5 music boxes, it asks for Wario's help, saying that any treasure he finds is his to keep! And once he finds the boxes, he send Wario home.

And yes! You are looking for music boxes within a music box!

At first, the game just seems like a typical 2D platforming game, but this is true! Find certain treasures will give Wario New power-ups, or open new levels. There are a few puzzles in this game which are solved using Mario's weird forms. If you look at Mario, he has all these power-ups and suits to help him out, but not Wario! He takes advantage of all these weird body alterations. For example, you can be squashed, set on fire, become fatter, zombified, turned into a vampire bat, electrocuted, dizzy, invisible, and many more!

Another thing to bear in mind is the time of day. This game actually has a day/night mechanic. Each time you complete a level the time of day will switch from day to night or vice versa. When the time of day changes, the background changes, the music changes, the enemies change, at night, some levels get filled with zombies! Oh shi....though there are only some parts the level only accessible at a certain time of day, but is never annoying!

The graphics are very good, so are the music and levels. I can't believe no-one's attempted to recreate similar mechanics.

This game is great so I'll give it a 10/10!

Here is a link to the game, so you can play it yourself without downloading anything!

I'm gonna do Wave Race!

Ahhh... The old memories....

First of all, I remember it in colour, but on an emulator, it's in black and white, but I don't care! I spend a few days trying to find it! I couldn't remember the title! I'm not as bad as I was god knows how many years ago.

The is no music during actual game play. There is music during the title, game selection, results, and ending. I'm trying to find the music that plays when you go up a rank. If anyone can find, I congratulate you! It sounds familar too.

There are two power-ups in this game, the octopus, which allows you to steal boost-power from other racers just by touching them. The other, a dolphin, gives you more turning ability. These power-ups only last a short time.

Because this game has old memories, I'll give it a 8/10!

Here is a link to the game! You don't need to download anything!
