Willow (USA) Review by: bsnowotter - 8.5/10

One baby to bring them all and in the darkness BIND them!!
Willow is a sidescrolling action/adventure platformer from Capcom based on the Lucasfilm movie also named Willow.  In the game, player controls Willow the hobbit who must quest to cast a magic baby into the fires of Mount Doom or something along those lines.  Willow has magic shots that take foes out at a distance, and in some levels the player is forced to play as Val Kilmer the swordsman who dispatches foes at close range with crescent-shaped sword-swipes.  There are various factors which come together to make this a great adventure for arcade gamers, though the difficulty often gets in the way of the fun.  

Due to controlling a short-statured cartoony dude or a swordsman character, the game feels like a cross between Capcom's Megaman and Strider games.  

Graphics = 9

The graphics of the game are a highpoint.  The main character and his diverse foes look beautiful and colorful and animate well and the various stages give the game a feeling of epic scope.  Also, boss-fights are another highlight, pitting the heroes against scary and sometimes massive foes.  

Sound = 9

The music in the game is varied, fitting and entertaining and the sound effects give the mayhem a satisfying feel.  Also the wicked villains are often given the chance to cackle menacingly, greatly enhancing the game's sense of fun.  

Story = 8

The story of Willow primarily unfolds in brief cut-scenes between the levels.  It scores props for following the story of the movie but could have told the tale in greater detail, though since this was designed for arcades this minor shortcoming is not unexpected.  

Addictiveness = 7 Depth = 6

Over the course of the game, light RPG elements give a feeling of progression and give the player hope (an often false hope) that they will more successfully evade a violent death.  By gathering gold you can upgrade your character in various ways at the traveling merchant, such as upgrading the charged up versions of Willow and Val Kilmer's attacks, adding an extra point of health or by purchasing other upgrades.  The game is addictive due in part to this RPG mechanic but also due to the high quality game design, play control, and the satisfying feeling of murdering countless foes while trying to help the heroes reach the end of their perilous quest.  

Difficulty = 9 

This game does some things right in terms of avoiding annoying difficulty issues, but overall the game still manages to feel too hard, which is unforgivable in an arcade game.  If a child conned his parents out of a large quantity of quarters, he should not be ripped off by repeatedly dying at the same spots over and over, each investment of quarters should in return give the player a feeling of money well spent.  I am an avid long time gamer and if spots in the game trip me up over and over, then it is fair to guess that what should have been this game's target market would have been very upset and would have felt very cheated by these spots.  

To be fair to the game difficulty-wise, the play control is good and there are a generous supply of checkpoints (you won't be transported backwards very far, even after you run out of lives and continue if I remember correctly) but that does not excuse many instances when I feel the game drains my health in an unfair fashion.  Platforms that are just hidden from view by the selective level of camera zoom will often and without warning drop enemies at you even if your hero has cleared that platform of all baddies 1 or 2 seconds prior.  The programmers selected the level of zoom, they should not unfairly profit from blindspots.  Soldiers who inexplicably take tons of shots to dispatch hurl grenades that not only hurt if they hit Willow or the explosion hits Willow, but they launch clouds of dust in each direction which take the gamer out.  Because these grenades are unfairly difficult to avoid, the gamer must often just run by these enemies rather than using even their powered up attacks.  Other spots in the game pit the player against waves of enemies coming from all directions, but if the enemies are able to kill the player as a team, they get another chance to do so when the player pays more money because the player is transported back in time just far enough to erase all progress against the particular deadly situation so they can die again.  

This is not the case in certain genres of arcade games, of course.  One obvious example is fighting games, kids know what they are getting into when they pay 50 cents for one more chance to beat a difficult boss character.  But in adventure games like this it would not have harmed Capcom to eliminate spots where a gamer is repeatedly swindled without progressing.  

This problem with difficulty is much less a problem on Vizzed where quarters flow like some sort of abundant, edible liquid.  Overall, fans of the action/adventure genre or the film are bound to have a great time with this title so it would be a shame to overlook it.

 This game is awesome! The NES Zelda "clone" wasn't too bad either.
