Summary

Looks can be decieving

The Good

Well, you know, everyone knocked off this game. They all said it had no gameplay, which is true, but everything else was cool, and it would have been an excellent game if it had had rock solid gameplay. I still think if you still have a 10 year old SNES, you should check it out at some antique store.

The truth is, the graphics are amazing. Stop saying they weren't. It looked great. Sure, they were just sprites, but they were damn good sprites. It almost looked three-dimensional. In fact, it did look 3-d, it just wasnt. The robots were all made nicely, with divine stages to go with each.

The sound was great too. The music for all the stages were amazing! The sound effects were convincing too. The cutscenes were also great. They were really and something you wouldn't see in any other SNES title.

The Bad

Look, I admit the gameplay was bad. I know it sucks. But it wasn't as bad as everyone complained. I mean sure, the moves weren't humanly possible. Sure, one thing over and over could win the game. Sure, the robots seem to know what you are going to do before you even do it. Sure......maybe I should shut up. OKAY, I admit the gameplay sucked, but that was the only thing that sucked, if that is of any comfort.

The Bottom Line

Despite the bad gameplay, everything else was very good. Visuals, sound, little videos inbetween, it just wasnt made perfectly. It was hyped and almost lived up to its hype. That is why I give it a ** 3 out of 5 **
