When playing games one comes to mind for me and that's Ghouls N Ghosts for the Super Nintendo game system that came out 1989 at the end of the 80's they were'nt wrong when Sega made this game that you could play was the best moment for Genesis in video game history & I have'nt played this game in awhile.

So here's my review of Ghouls N Ghosts for the Sega Genesis and for those who did'nt know the video game's birthday is coming up soon it was be 22 years old and that of course am excited about a game like that deserves a birthday a nice big one...here's to G&G and 22 more great wonderful years of playing.

Some have complained about the difficulty of the game setting but for me it's not that bad though it has it's moments you want to quit when you die several time though patience is a virtue they say with this video game when you play though each level.The gameplay is great but sometimes the jumping system can be irritating the length or direction of the jump can not be changed in the air much like games like Sonic or Super Mario Bros the jumping between platforms can be difficult till you get comfortable with it.

As I said before the difficulty is though the roof if you get hit you loose your armor & you have to fight enemies in your boxers getting hit again means certain death for Arthur and getting hit while jumping is not impossible treasure chests sparsely appear in the levels and many times contains an enemy and not goodies.Plot or story is basic and cliched in video games you save the princess from the evil villain or save the girl from the evil gang like Double Dragon and in the beginning a map of the entire game and your location is shown to how far you are from destroying the prince of darkness.

The map to me is to indistinct to see what your going to face in each area of the game but at least you know what color the level will be and more or less how long it is going to be when you face it.The music was incredible for this video game and Genesis and helped promote the dark feel the game carried, and helped immerse you in the game what I really like that each level had it's own theme Arthur doesn't just throw lances numerous and sometimes very different weapons randomly appear throughout the game weapons include throwing spears, daggers, hand held large swords, axes, and holy water.

Every secondary magic effect when used in conjunction with magic armor it took me a bit to figure out that the magic armor was an offensive item rather than a defensive item.Don't have a high tolerance for frustration in games however, I found myself playing and continuing over and over again death after death to continue on through the game to summarize this game Ghouls N Ghosts it has good graphics, great music, ultra-fun & very addictive to play what more do you need? this is a game every Genesis owner should have in his or her own video game library.

Meh, I mostly agree with this. I like this one a lot better than Ghosts And Goblins though. That game's difficulty was horrific.

That's true Jmc the one thing I did make a point on is the jumping when you try to do that with platforms sometimes you can't change direction or you come up short Red Arremer Ace the red gargoyle that follows you is annoying if you go up the ladder in a level there is another that is waiting.



Or the magician when you open certain treasure chests they turn Arthur into a girl,old man or duck it makes me laugh though even though there annoying when he gets turned into something.

Levels were different like the burning town it reminded me of the level from Lifeforce the burning planet the difficulty of that level was about the same as the G&G level the burning town.

Yeah, also, doesn't the end of Ghosts N Goblins just make you play the whole game over but it's way harder than before? (which was hard enough the first time)

jmc1097 : "Yeah, also, doesn't the end of Ghosts N Goblins just make you play the whole game over but it's way harder than before? (which was hard enough the first time"

Yes both games do make you play the game over again you have to get a certain weapon to finish the end to save the princess at the end of the game Ghosts n Goblins it was some holy shield and Ghouls N Ghosts a bracelet that the princess his from demon king and all his enemies.

Ghouls N Ghosts is a good game, but it can be hard at some points. Especially when there are a lot of enemies on 1 screen. But I still like it.


P.S. Nice review LunaRoseAngel.

Thanks 8bit sorry for the late response am glad that you like the review and two enemies on the screen can be annoying like the red gargoyles that fly and follow you though the whole level what really gets me is that they can fly though the walls when they follow you though the level it can be annoying.

Man I hated that game because it was too hard. Now I like it a lot more but as a kid I wanted to burn it. The challenge is a little much and beating it twice is just insane.
