Duck Hunt
08-21-14 03:29 PM
A true NES classic: Duck Hunt
Whenever I come back to the NES, I think about all the famous games that have been praised for so many years, such as Super Mario Bros, Mega Man II, Contra, and even double dragon. But there are those hidden gems, games that were praised for a short time before being just a shadow of a much more commercially successful game. This is the case with Duck Hunt for NES, as it was soon left in the dust for Mario. So, how great is this game you ask?

Graphics: 6
Now being an early NES game, you really wouldn't expect much of the graphics to be impressive. But, they turn out pretty good (for an early NES game).

It has such realistic sound and truly is the kicker for immersing you into an already great hidden gem.

Addictiveness: 9
This is where Duck Hunt shines. You're one shot away from 1 million points. One bullet left, and then, you miss. You may rage out, and you may break something as well, but there is still a feeling inside you that keeps your eyes glued to the TV, memorizing duck patterns and clay-shooting sequences, and just sitting there as your minutes drift off into hours. Point is: Duck Hunt's simple gameplay and challenging premise has a special quality that leaves you wanting more.

Depth: 3
There is really not much to do in this game. You have 3 different game modes, each of them involving you to ... Read the rest of this Review
