Goemon's Great Adventure

I enjoyed GGA immensely. If you're a fan of the Ganbare Goemon Series, get out and buy it now. If you're not, rent it, and see if you can handle its wackiness before you decide to buy it. The only flaws I can see is the absence of the Japanese vocal tracks, and maybe a few more worlds would have been nice. But still, GGA is an innovative, enjoyable game. I love you Konami.

Goemon's Great Adventure följer i stort sett standardmallen för plattformsäventyr. Som så många gånger förut handlar det om att hoppa, slå och skjuta sig genom massor av banor. Samtidigt som man mellan varven ska lösa lite problem och samla på sig viktiga föremål. Vad som däremot skiljer spelet från de flesta andra i genren är att det helt och hållet lever på sitt innehåll. Trist tycker somliga. Andra kallas det kvalitet.

Points off for editing all the cool songs out of the US version, but Goemon's Great Adventure still emerges as Konami's best Goemon game since Goemon 2 and the translation is much more faithful than Mystical Ninja and co. A funny, addictive co-op adventure that every 2D platform game fan should add to his collection.

The game is set up in a pseudo-non-linear fashion. After you clear an area once, you can go to Lost'n Town and receive a quest to return to on old area and find certain items or defeat certain enemies under a certain time limit. This goes a long way toward replay value, but you're still playing the same levels over and over, and that gets old quick.

Helaas hebben ze de plank helemaal mis geslagen want MN2 is een suffe platformgame. Ik wil er dan ook niet te veel woorden aan vuilmaken. Laat MN2 lekker in de winkel liggen, zelfs al ben je een Goemon-fan.
