El Viento

The Good
Nice story, varied gameplay, innovative boss design, unique weapon/magic use, nice graphics, perfect level of difficulty . . . a class act.

The Bad
I'm at a loss. It was a great Genesis game. I didn't feel compelled to play it again once I beat it, but I had a good time.

The Bottom Line
Side-scrolling shooter with minimum thought required. No puzzles, which was a plus for me, but you had to figure out your enemies at times to get past them.
