How Many NES Games To Review??? TOO MANY!!!!!!

 Yep, I’m here to review some NES games. I still don’t feel like playing Arkham City because the over 200 Riddles I have to get is too daunting of a task and it’s just not all that fun. I might finally beat Sonic Mania or Scott Pilgrim vs the World The Game but I dunno. Or maybe read some Japanese Manga Comic Book Things because you know I’m a coolest guy ever! Anyway this set of games is slightly better than the last? Maybe? I dunno. I promise we get to some fucking bangers real soon. Real fuckin soon too!

A big foot game. I would love to enjoy this game. I really would, however I cannot get past the controls. For every event (one event is tug of war, another is jumping around stuff, another is racing) it just has awful obtuse controls. You’ll see me say play control just ruins many games for me and when it comes to this one thatch the one thing that keeps me from enjoying this. It has several cool events, the graphics are fine, the music is fine. Everything else about it is fine but I can’t give this any rank other than bad thanks to the controls. It’s a shame too. I would love to squish the shit out of cars! I just can’t get the controls to work in my favor. Since that’s really the only flaw I can think of this makes this review very short.

I don’t know why Mike Elter’s rarity list is like this but since the sequel is first I’m going to talk about it first. It’s a vast, vast, VAST improvement over the original game. I actually quite like this game honestly. For the longest time I didn’t because I’d end up dying quickly because it takes a bit of time to get use to the skateboarding around thing, however I played through it for the NES BOUNTY (RIP) that SUCKERS and WIENERS didn’t want to finish. This game is actually pretty simple and fun and just a good overall time. The play control can be a little weird but it’s something you can easily get used too. Anyway Mike Elter had the Aladdin cartridge right next to this one? Did they actually change anything with those two games? I’ve never played the Aladdin cartridges. Maybe I’ll come back to them but for right now I’m gonna say I like Big Nose Freaks Out. Good music, pretty good graphics, fun gameplay I enjoy it a bit.

This is also like Big Foot, a game I keep coming back to hoping to enjoy it. I really do. It’s actually pretty fun when you can have a weapon upgrade and here is the total reason I don’t think I’ll ever really like this game is that once you lose that upgrade way way WAY too many of the bosses are literally impossible to hit. They run to fast, they are up way to high to hit. It’s a complete shame too. I like everything else about the game. the graphics are charming the music is great, the levels are decently varied and all that. I want to show IDIOT YOUTUBERS that never will visit this blog that Unlicnesed games are worth owning but this is not really worth owing, which is sad. I love the box art though, Maybe I should do BEST BOX ART articles??? That would be something. Anyway bad game, sequel improves on it greatly.

Now this is a game that pisses me the fuck off so much. This is probably the worst game I’ve covered up to this point and one simple, SIMPLE fucking change would have made this game something unique and worth while. Something I would have gone back to several times. The graphics are fine, the music is fine. The biggest problem is that you get this HUGE area to explore and are not given any clues as too what you need to jump on to get a historical item, so you have to FUCKING JUMP ON EVERYTHING. You do that a lot and its VERY annoying. Then you have to hope that you can find the historical figure before the guys chasing you (who become fucking insanely relentless in the later stages) I somehow beat this game but the only way you will ever do it and retain your sanity is use a YouTube video. There is no other way. However if you had I dunno make the bush or spot your supposed to jump on a different color or something then YOU’D KNOW WHAT TO FUCKING JUMP ON. Jesus. Also the Phone mini game thing between the stages is fucking brutal too. You don’t know how many times I went in there with tons of coins just to end up with like 4 or 5 left. It’s useless, it’s stupid, it’s fucking god awful, it’s unworthy of Bill and fucking Ted, FUCK.

I’ve said before that racing games on the NES either still hold up pretty damn well (like F1 Formula Racing Built to Win, the Rad Racer games, and RC Pro AM games) or just come off as dull and boring or weirdly hard to control. This game is somehow all three. It’s dull, boring, tedious and very ugly looking. The car seems to go very slow and I don’t know and don’t care enough to make it go faster. You get to pick several cars but the layout is bad. I don’t like this game and I don’t want to talk any more about it. Konami let me down and that just took all the winds out of my sails man.

Good Games: 34

Bad Games: 34

Okay Games: 9

I guess I was wrong about this being better than last time. It’s about the same really.

The Comic Review #94: Web of Spider-Man #113-116

  The post on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers got me to thinking about the early comic reviews on this site. Most of them were a paragraph...
