Playstation
Platform
Isometric 3D style towns with platform sections and bosses to battle in mecha suits: yes its Goemon alright. The towns as a pleasure as ever with traditional warm-hearted friendliness to welcome you. And the 3D style boss battles add another dimension to the already varied gameplay. Overall the 3D effect has been well implemented with pretty shading and the proper balance between the trade-off of gameplay and graphical glitz.
Super Famicom
Platform
7 Ups cool little emblem is very slickly animated and this plays like a real treat. Nothing too unexpected but the execution is pretty close to flawless as the wee spot in shades strolls through the brashly themed gaming worlds.
Nintendo 64
Simulation
A version of the Japanese chess game featuring famed player Habu. An intriguing game for the cerebral gamer or one for the collection.
PS2
RPG
Humans and Deimos (evolved from monsters) battle for the five spirit stones and play is possible from either camp. Painstakingly lush graphics bring the fantasy to life.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
Introduces mini games to the successful series as players start with an initial party of four which can be expanded to take advantage of the rich characters on offer. Beautiful ‘new age’ anime graphics with a cel-shaded, mean and moody look making this a must have for fans of the Naruto series. Looks particularly fine on the PSP’s high detailed screen. Slick presentation and seamless cut scenes as you’d expect from an anime tie in. Ginormous o.t.t. special moves and solid play mechanics mean even those not aware of the series will have plenty to get their teeth (and fists) into here. Fighters battle it out in front of traditional scenes such as Japanese houses at dusk or Ramen noodle shops and there are oodles of speed lines and manga style effects keeping it fresh and fast. Plenty of background interactions, translucently realised special moves and shouts of martial madness. Subtitled Mugenjou no Maki.
PSP
Sports
Combining swooping camera angles, realistic ball and player mechanics, plus a solid gaming engine comes a very fine tennis title. Segas experience and rich arcade heritage has led to a superb version of the sport for the PSP. Brings out the smell of strawberries and cream, Robinsons juice, sunny days and Cliff Richard. Well it does for Genki anyway.
PSP
Action
Bomberman has a charm that seems eternal, especially hard to beat in multiplayer. Handhelds are perfectly suited for the game as its not possible to keep a close eye on opponents adding much adrenalin as a tidy amount of TNT suddenly rolls past. Hudson has done a very fine conversion: not overcooking the processing power to compromise the tasty morsels of gaming heaven on offer. Instead a funky, fly Tokyo style gives the title new impetus.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Grandiose titles for appropriately regal sounding scores with titles such as Battle III, Royal Captain Avalan and Dracovantel. Square Enix on top form again.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
Four track pre order gift for fans of the gruff detective who came to fame originally in manga form.
Game Gear
Sports
Realistic representative of rounders from Sega Sports, packed full of updated Major League players and stats. Very solid slugger for fans with enough to recommend it to those not so into the World Series.
Nintendo DS
Platform
Sequel to the seminal Super Famicom platformer with child like cartoony crayon squiggles and cheery colours making for a bright and breezy platformer. The key as before is to not lose Yoshis passenger for too long so the punishment of instant death is lessened encouraging exploration for the hidden coins and areas. The attributes of Yoshis passenger also come into play with Peach able to slow down falls Mary Poppins style with her brolly and Mario can rebound eggs off walls for tactical shots at seemingly unreachable targets. The double screen DS is put to good use – sometimes only the bottom screen can be used to see the enemy masked up top as in the clever clash with the ghost in the mirror.
Nintendo DS
Sports
Cast off a lakeside line and aim for a good spot on the map. The lure needs dragging along the water to tempt a passing bass into snaffling it up. Its there that the battle commences with the powerful bass to use technique and patience to land a battler. All without the whiff of groundbait and rollies.
Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
Namco does a heroic job of reinventing its yellow pill muncher making use of the DS to innovate and originate. Play begins by drafting a quick sketch of our little yellow friend who then trots off to the bottom screen. Pacman is then controlled by the stylus on the upper screen with appropriate flicks taking him where required. Skills honed in early stages are soon called on in full as the action heats up, such as being able to draw arrows or bombs. Boss encounters provide an opportunity to demonstrate a bit of lateral thinking adding much to the overall experience. As an extra there is a sketch book to enjoy seeing what happens when a few creative doodles are produced. Pure gameplay, highly original and exactly the kind of title Nintendo preached the DS stylus would deliver.
Nintendo DS
Puzzle
Also known as Fairy Musketeers, players get to tackle the puzzles with a definite slant on action rather than anything heavier. The frillier side of the game is also explored in the costume section where new outfits are adorned. Konamis style is certainly present in abundance as the presentation and pointy ear, maid and fantasy protagonists have had every effort made on them.
Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
The stunning solicitor series created by Capcom as players must go all out for the conviction. Credit to the Japanese game market which still pulls out its own genres every now and then. I mean few companies would be bold enough to test out such a title. Known in the West as Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.
PS3
Action
Smoking cigarettes like Kojak pops in lollipops and looking like a Snatcher detective, but our hero walks a thin line between law and the yakuza. Mini games of button tapping karaoke, golf, bowling, darts, shoot em up, even oil massages from models are on offer to distract Shenmue style from the main quest. But lapping these up like a salaryman forgetting the daily grind will soon lead to a queue of street flotsam awaiting to make your acquaintance. An epic quest, Shenmue III if you like, for the strong nerved and willed.
Sega Saturn
Shooter
Cavernous underground tunnels and sprawling over land arenas to explore in this fine 3D shooter with exploratory elements. Picked up quite a following in the day.
PS2
Sports
Break neck speed race title with a suitable soundtrack with enough beats to generate a potential nosebleed. Plenty of famous sites in the backgrounds but its hard to savour them first time round. Instead its left for the replays to be able to check out your paintwork and the sights on offer. But its clinging to the tail lights that will have most gamers lapping this up.
Merchandise
DVD
DVD format games magazine from Japan with this particular volume being of interest to Nintendo Fans with a report on the big N show that is SpaceWorld 2000 including a first look at the GameCube and GameBoy Advance. Plenty of titles featured too including Silent Scope, Sydney 2000, Shiren 2 right through to the GameBoy Color.
Playstation
A Bit Special
The title translates as ‘I can do it on my own’ and has players making various dishes that even Genki fancies being able to rustle up. Based on the NHK programme, the Japanese equivalent of the BBC.
Super Famicom
Sports
Kashiwagi san is a suitable candidate to introduce this game and star as the prime strike fisherman. A real oyaji in terms of his appearance and actions, his presence adds much to this well made fishing title complete with plenty of lures to choose from.
