SEGA Master System

Psycho Fox

This game has a lot of good ideas. Strategically using your items is the key to finishing the game. Another awesome feature is a black bird you can throw like a boomerang, taking out multiple enemies at once. The jumping controls take a while to get used to, mainly because they rely heavily on momentum. There are seven stages in all, each with its own boss, and a bonus game as well. Psycho Fox is an absolute blast to play. While it's tempting to zoom through the stages, your best bet is a slow, methodical approach. The music is upbeat and quite catchy. This may be the best platform game I've played on the Master System.

Un Action-Platform di elevata qualità che probabilmente meritava più attenzione. Se non ci avete mai giocato vi consiglio di recuperarlo perchè ne vale assolutamente la pena.

Sporting a weird storyline and even weirder graphics, Psycho Fox is one weird game. But it's challenging, playable and very addictive too. The way the screens are laid out is excellent, with loads of areas to explore and discover - I found myself going back to it time and time again to see whether I missed anything. There are also warp areas, as well as other secret features to discover, giving the game plenty of lasting appeal. Psycho Fox is easily one of the best platform games available on the Master System, and is a vital addition to any self-respecting player's collection.

Overall, this game is a blast to play. You need to utilize all 4 characters to get through the game. The Bird-Fly side kick offers a unique weapon to help you defeat enemies. The colorful graphics look great and show off what the Sega Master System can do. Psycho Fox offers the kind of playability seen in Mario and Sonic games, and you will want to play over and over to discover every little nook and cranny of the massive levels. This is a great Sega Master System game, and a must-own for platformer fans.

In fin dei conti questo gioco Sega sembra essere un capolavoro da 9 o da 10 ma c’è qualcosa che non funziona come dovrebbe. È proprio il controllo che si ha sul protagonista a non convincere; tendenzialmente è come quello di Sonic: si comincia piano e via via si accelera fino a raggiungere la velocità massima. La differenza tra Sonic e Psycho Fox è che in Sonic questo metodo è realizzato in modo perfetto e si adegua perfettamente al level design del gioco. In Psychio Fox risulta più “legnoso” e non si adatta perfettamente alla conformazione dei livelli. Non è un difetto gravissimo, fatta l’abitudine nemmeno lo si noterà, ma è proprio questo piccolo difetto che divide un ottimo gioco da un capolavoro.

This game had some interesting and innovative ideas, especially considering when it came out. Overall, sadly, it just doesn't feel like a completely cohesive game. This title is a little hard to find unless you go the route of the emulator. It is also interesting to see how many hacked versions of this thing are floating around out there. I've seen the fox represented by character models ranging from Sonic, to Pikachu, to Link. They're neat to see, but don't give the game any more of a fun-factor.

Parece até uma aventura de Alex Kidd, com etapas e estratégias parecidas com a do nosso velho conhecido. Mas aqui, quem se mete em diversas aventuras é uma raposa chamada Psycho Fox. Ela enfrenta Madfox Daimyojin, que é a sacerdotisa de um templo Inari - esta, por sua vez, é a deusa raposa. Para não ficar somente nesse bicho, Psycho Fox transforma-se, de acordo com a necessidade, em tigre (o mais rápido, para correr), em macaco (para pular mais alto) e em hipopótamo (para andar no gelo, apesar de ser o mais pesado).
