It's not bad. Simple with quirky controls, but really not bad.

Backyard Baseball

I swear, if I didn't have the speed up button while playing this, I'd pull my hair out. This game is ridiculously slow-paced.

Now it's 8. Hot diggity damn.

Incredible Crash Dummies

It's not great, but it's at least enjoyable.

Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood!

Oh my crap, they actually made games based off the Prinnys? You have got to be kidding me.
|
Fire Emblem - Fuuin no Tsurugi

The unfortunate thing is that this is actually one of my favorite titles in the series, only to be denied an international release.

Correction. 6.

Yeah, the only reason people say any of these things is because they have no originality and are trying to quote the AVGN for popularity.

Mega Man Zero 3

Megaman Zero 3...what else?!
This was my first game of the Megaman Zero series, a series that has changed my life in so many ways, including my involvement on Vizzed as well as my eventual position as a Moderator in the Megaman forum, a forum which I gave all of my viz to create. This game was given to me by a friend in the 6th grade, along with her Gameboy Advance SP, and I PLAYED THAT GAME. So, after completing it a record 7 times, I believe that I am certified to make a review to properly suit this masterpiece. So, without further ado, The Review...of Megaman Zero 3!
Graphics: 9
No offense to anyone, but the RGR window on Vizzed does not show GBA games any mercy. It spreads individual pixels, making the game have a blocky, primitive look. So, my rating of the graphics come from what I see on my GBA screen. The graphics are great, the animations and screen transitions are astounding, but I do have ONE complaint about the Megaman Zero series as a whole. Well, two actually. One: Ciel looks distorted. Two: Zero's appearance doesn't change at ALL during the entire series. But, other than these, I have no complaints!
Sound: 10
The soundtrack for this game is unbelievable and unforgettable. It has that signature Megaman Zero "feel" (If you don't know what I mean, listen to the soundtrack inside the Resistance Base.), the music is catchy, and it creates a mood specific to each level, you remember the level in all it's entirety as you listen to it. Almost no other game series in EXISTANCE is capable of this. Also, the mood set by the music is PERFECT for that stage, down to the tone and individual melodies and harmonies. (Sorry if I'm ranting, I take my music pretty seriously) So all in all, I have NO complaints here.
Addictiveness: 10
As I've said before, this game incorporates the idea (well not really idea at all, let's say "Feeling") of extreme helplessness when you lose, especially if y... Read the rest of this Review

Megaman Xtreme: Remake...sort of...
This is a game that I debated if it even existed, until of course, I found it buried deep under the piles of mediocrity in the Retro Game Room. And now, having played it, I believe that it deserves at least some credit, more than it has to this date, might I add.
Graphics: 8
This game, at first glance, may receive a mocking form of criticism by those who compare it to Megaman X, or even Megaman games remade for the Gameboy Advance. This, of course, is a Gameboy Color game, and the graphics for this game in particular are pretty decent, surpassing many, many Gameboy Color games I have played. Overall, they are pretty good, but they still have flaws.
Sound: 9
This game has terrific sound. The original soundtracks of Megaman X are included (which I praised GREATLY in my past review of X), all in the classic and signature Gameboy fashion. Honestly, they did a good job taking a master soundtrack and implanting it into a Gameboy Color game. Plus, they even have Zero's theme. How greater can you get with soundtrack? Ok, you can get better, but not MUCH better.
Addictiveness: 7
Meh, this component wasn't rated very high because I played it, shut down my computer, and haven't played it since. I guess how little of a remake it is of the original Megaman X compels you, when given a choice of X and this, to pick the original. They say that the sequel is never as good as the original. The Mega Man franchise shatters this concept, but let's change it to specifically a game and it's remake. There, that works now. This game just doesn't make you want to play it...again.
Story: 10
The story is pretty cool, I must admit. (Doesn't come CLOSE to rivaling Megaman Zero's story, but that's a different review) Basically, data from Mavericks from the past that X has already beat have returned and are wreaking havoic...again. So, it's up to X to travel... Read the rest of this Review

Megaman Zero. NUFF SAID!
Well, It's finally time. Time to rate one of my favorite games of all time, in my favorite series to date. Megaman Zero. I'm not going to waste my breath here, but believe me, breath wasting WILL happen a bit later. So, without further ado... (What is "ado" anyway?)
Just a little F.Y.I, there are going to be spoilers.
Graphics: 9
The graphics in this game are actually pretty good. When you compare the graphics to other games, these graphics are sharp, and aren't too spread out, which ultimately give a game a blurry look. The animations are great; they are very smooth, compared to those in games such as racing games, the screen transition along with the animations themselves are very expertly done. Yes, I'm looking at you, first level. The prime example of good transition in this game is when Ciel and Zero fall down the passage to the Prehistoric Laboratory. Did you notice? As they fell, the screen moved perfectly, leaving no lag. THAT'S what I call good transition.
Sound: 9
The music of this game is very catchy, and the series uses their own signature "sound" throughout the series. Don't know what I mean? Listen to the resistance base music. Disregard the melody, just listen to the tone. Have you heard that tone of music in any other game? Chances are you said no. As for the melodies, it's no Storm Eagle, but it's pretty dang good either way.
Addictiveness: 10
Like I said in my last review, this game is not one to reel you in with cheap methods, it is simply HARD. How exactly does this cause addictiveness? When you lose, you feel it that you HAVE to win, and with every loss, your desire intensifies to the point that when you FINALLY beat that boss, (talking to you, Fairy Leviathan) you yell out in triumph! (Much to the irritation of your parents for your yelling out at 11:00 at ni... Read the rest of this Review

The Megaman X Review to End All Megaman X Reviews.
Well, what can I say? This is perhaps one of the greatest video games in history. It has it all. But, if you don't want to take my simple word for it, here's my review to back up what's honestly been said a million times before.
Graphics: 10
This game's graphics are no 3D, 1st person in depth world like some other games that are FAR inferior to this game, but as for it put side to side with the ORIGINAL series for NES, these graphics were amazing, and they were also extremely dynamic. The graphics made you feel like you were IN the stage, you WERE X! Not many games did that, heck, not many games do it NOW, but this one did. And it did it WELL.
Sound: 10
My god, at least three tracks from this game are on my mp3, and I'm planning to add at least two more. This game's soundtrack is AMAZING. The sound producers KNEW what they were doing, they weren't fooling around. They knew that this game would be huge, but they wanted more than that. And with what they did, my god. Basically, here's what I'm trying to say. Take what I said before about the graphics, and add in that the music spurs adrenaline in you, it's melodies and pace bringing a sweat to your brow (talking from experience), the game saying "This is a good game", and PROVING it, a hundred times over. If I could go over 10 with the sound rating, I would. I swear on my Megaman loving soul.
Addictiveness: 10
It's not that this game is particularly addictive like nicotine, but it is addictive in one key fashion that has kept the Megaman franchise alive for so many years. What is this miracle recipe, you may ask? This. Game. Is. HARD. Not hard in a way that will make 5000 people make rage quit videos on Youtube, but in a way that when you lose, you stare at the screen, take a swig of Red Bull, and say out loud: "It's on."

This review makes me want to kill myself, so I'll be rewriting it at some point.
