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).

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
