Playstation
Sports
Plenty of hard work is required in getting the shoulder barges and sliding tackles in to get the ball in a decent shooting position. A real battle of attrition in two player mode. The midfield general of football titles.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
A fine and appropriately quirky bonus disk to accompany the off the wall Seaman 2 game released on the PS2. Nice collectable for fans of the Sega star.
Playstation
Simulation
A cracking title in which you get to become a master crane operator through the various stages and challenges including pulling out fish as in the child’s toy fishing game. There is also an expert course to graduate aswell as the grind of work mode where going about your duties is strangely gratifying. Only in Japan, but well worth a spin. Known as Crane Master ni Narou in Japan. See also Shovel Master and Machine master in the Kenki Ippai series.
Playstation
Sports
The budget version of Dynamite Soccer 98 plays a quick fire, arcade style game with the ball pinging around in the midfield area. The sprightly mechanics make for a fine football engine with excitement generated from the quick fire action.
Playstation
Action
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.
PS2
A Bit Special
A must have for fans of J Pop’s darling Ayumi. In the Visual mix you watch very clear footage of some fine Ayumi songs whilst being able to manipulate the camera angle, add laser effects or even falling cherry blossom. Disk two allows you to hit the studio and remix tracks to hear you favourite loops over again. Also includes an Ayu chan themed browser to complete the package.
PSP
A Bit Special
A short story in Japanese that is a great language tool for those wishing to brush up on their mobile skills with plenty of street savvy language and a few nice images to kindle the love story.
PSP
Rhythm
Update of the rhythm action with catchy, bubbly tunes and the star of the show Miku who seems to have a huge wardrobe of outfits for the fanboys. Presentation is superb and the graphical and aural standard shows just how huge Miku is in Japan. And with a bit of hand eye coordination, players too can be big in Japan.
PS3
Sports
Every update seems to get closer to the game with it now seemingly easier to score from corners as in the real game and with an updated working of the offside law – shame that cant be applied to the linemen in the real game. The ultimate selling point of this title is the inclusion of the Champions League set up.
Soundtracks
Soundtrack
A bonus BlazBlue drama CD which makes great use of the voice actors and actresses to set the scene for a big battle involving the popular Tsubaki.
Famicom Disk System
Sports
Cracking Nintendo take on table tennis with only animated hands and bats representing the player making for a fast flowing game. The crown lap up the action with plenty of applause on the corresponding side to the players and a certain cheeky monkey appearing in the crowd.
Super Famicom
Simulation
Bullfrog’s seminal god sim made it hard to resist improper gameplay such as drumming up the odd disaster to keep your people.on their toes. This sequel hones the interface and adds a few nice surprises. Subtitled Trials of the Olympian Gods.
Playstation
RPG
Fantasy strategic RPG based in a kingdom of knights with impressive 3D battles and an immense potential of depth to draw players into its world. The monsters have solid AI and behave in an unpredictable manner. And with five different kingdoms to choose from the replay value is very high. Also known as Brigandine The Legend of Forsena.
Nintendo 64
Sports
Utilises out of proportion players with giant heads in a similar style to Konami’s popular Power Pro Baseball series. Also features the major teams of the Japanese pro league so players can savour match ups such as the Yakult Swallows vs. Nippon Ham. The simultaneous four player mode is as enjoyable as the slick play mechanics. Known in Japan as ‘Chou Kuukan Night Pro Yakyuu King.’
Famicom Disk System
Simulation
Nicely presented Mahjong game from the big N as those with a penchant for the Chinese tile game get to fill their boots on the underground Famicom Disk System.
