Zoids

The Good
It's got a nice cover.

The Bad
Being a fan of zoids (which are wind-up/battery-powered construction kits of mechanical monsters based on dinosaurs, mammals, reptiles, birds and varied mythical beasts), I bought this game as soon as I saw it. I have to say I was very disappointed. Name apart, this game has practically nothing to do with zoids. All it consists of is moving a dot around a map of the zoids' planet Zoidstar. That's about it. Very little happens. Occasionally you're drawn into battle, but the fighting sequences consist of nothing more than avoiding outlines of missiles which are being fired by some invisible enemy. A total waste of a license and a complete waste of time. Save your money and buy some of the now re-released zoids models instead.

The Bottom Line
An Earthman has finished up on the planet of the zoids. These are mechanical creatures, driven by androids, and the Blue and Red Zoid armies have been at war for centuries. So you, as the human, must find the pieces of a destroyed Blue Zoid in order to do battle with and ultimately destroy the Red Zoid leader Redhorn the Terrible.
