When I was a young child, there was one game EVERYONE on the planet was playing, called Super Mario Brothers 3. Well, I played it,
but then I played a game that really intrigued me on how different it was compared to the other games at the time. It was called Clash At Demonhead. This one had it ALL baby; early 80's style anime graphics, freaky bad guys, even more bizarre good guys (if
you don't believe me, check out Michael), guns, girls, nutty music, and a story straight from something Streamline Pictures would have been too scared to touch with a 50 meter pole.
Control-9
Slick control. In fact, the only thing hard to get used to is the ''water hopping'' (told you, man…this game is WILD!)
Graphics-10
First up, it's mid-generation NES so don't friggin' complain! Second, even for Mid-gen NES, the graphics were pretty darn awesome! There were some boring palette-swapped backgrounds, but other than that, Vic Tokai didn't do anything bad! The characters were very 80's style anime with a certain nuttiness you COULDN'T hate! The enemies…Oh man, Boomer and the big bouncing monkey wearing the hat just DID IT for me!
Story-10
Hey, your girlfriend isn't the first one to get kidnapped, how about that! You are Agent Bang, and are sent away from your hot 8-bit-anime
girlfriend on the beach to go rescue some guy from the board game Clue (really a genius by the name of Professor Plum) who is being hypnotized by the gang of the Seven Governors to create a doomsday bomb to destroy the planet Earth from the top of Demonhead Mountain. NOW, why, I can't officially tell you, but considering WHAT the Seven Governors look like, it almost makes perfect sense to me why these products of drunken Manga drawing sessions would want to blow the planet sky high. Well, the plot goes through about a jillion different twists, full of Faries, Hermits, walking toy construction workers, and Rock n' Roll villains, so I'll let YOU try it out.
Music-8
It's so bad…It's good. First you have your 70's anime-anthem style themes. Then, you have your bizarre folksy themes. Then, the 70's anime creepy-theme style themes. You have to love this. That's all there is to it.
Replay-10
Get paper, because the passwords on this game are LONG. Not River City Ransom long, but pretty pencil killing nevertheless. And when you beat the game? Oh yes, you'll want to play this game over again like playing a good Mario game once in a while…
Fun Factor-10
Jet packs, supersuits, exploration, powers of ''The Force'' like kung-fu and shrinking yourself, enjoyable plot twists, super challenge, constant
gameplay... Yep, this is were it's at BABY!
Freak Factor-10
This is why I love the NES. These kind of mind-numbingly insane plots and characters. Even the small bad guys are funny as hell.
Overall-10
It's a crying shame this game didn't even achieve the level of cult classic that River City Ransom did. Oh how I longed for
a sequel to this game, especially on SNES (Can you just IMAGINE!?), because (in my opinion) this game stood up against any of the best games from the time really well. Truly one of the greatest Adventure games for the NES. In fact, It's one of my top 10 favorite NES games. You must play THIS! You won't regret it!
