Rogue Ops (GameCube)

from: Capcom

February 06, 2004
I was put off from buying this having read a few reviews on the Internet and in magazines which described it as a very average game but, because there wasn't much else out there that appealed to me, I decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did. I found the game to be highly enjoyable with all the things I look for in a game included in this title.
Good points: rarely frustrating, choice of difficulty, sniping, checkpoints, controls and general gunplay.
Bad points: Annoying lazer puzzles, setting off alarms.
Lifespan: approx 13 hrs to complete

Megaman Battle Network 6: Gregar (GBA)

from: Capcom

June 16, 2006
The 'MegaMan Battle Network' series has reached the end and has passed through many bumps with the plot lines getting off the story. This game restores MegaMan to its former glory with a more focused plot. The storyline is like all the others but this is one of the funner ones with new mini-games and bosses. A must-have for fans.

Devil Kings (PS2)

from: Capcom

February 03, 2006
This game is essentially a Koei "Empires" game; you play stages through Japan (though it apparently isn't Japan in Devil Kings) and take over the whole land. Only you can't employ tactics, or choose what to do or who to take into battle, or um... anything. You simply drag one character through the whole thing repeatedly.

The pros of this game are: the anime cut scenes are pretty good and an interesting change to anything I've seen in a game before; it's got a good arcade feel to the game which makes it a relatively unique game; there are lots of things to collect as you go to heal up/recharge; the combo system is good; the troop variety is much better than the Warriors series.

So now that's over with, we can get on ... Read More:

Disney's Hide & Sneak (GameCube)

from: Capcom

March 19, 2004
Although the basic concept isn't bad (a sort of stealth-action game for kids) the execution of this game is distinctlu underwhelming. In trying to simplify the genre to make it accessible to younger players, the designers have gone too far - the most notable example of this being the lack of camera controls. The camera has a fixed side-on-and-slightly-above point of view - it tracks Mickey as he moves around the game, and can be panned and tilted by about 10 degrees with the c-stick to enable you to see what's coming. This can be quite frustrating and makes moving "south" very difficult, as you can't see what's in front of Mickey until he walks into it. I realise a fully flexible camera can be difficult to manipulate, but if you could switch between a ... Read More:

Riding Spirits 2 (PS2)

from: Capcom

May 21, 2004
Well I for one don't really agree with the reviews, considering there aren't that many bike games out there RS2 is quite good, Tourist Trophy is very good but was made after RS2 and is done by the GT guys:) but TT does not give you the choice of upgrades, and buying your own stuff.

RS2 is a copy of GT3 providing you with the choice of buying the bikes all the gear and the upgrades. I never had any problems with the handling or the replay. I have been playing games for a long time so maybe the controls were more familiar to me. I don't mind the camera behind the bike as I always play like that, I find all internal cameras a waste.

How can people judge the handling when all you have is a joy pad... if you had a plug in motorbike ... Read More:

Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge (Saturn)

from: Capcom


Grabbed this other day for a few quid and thought id write a review. 1st of its a typical Capcom early to mid 90s fighting, very similar to playing Steet Righter Aplha in terms of graphics and special moves, along with cheesy comments from your charatcer after you win a fight. The animation is fair and graphics fair, not very good 2d by todays standards but fair enough for 1996. Its got some drawbacks though, mainly you cant save games as there is nothing extra to unlock, and there arent really many characters to choose from either. So for a blast from the past in terms of a 2D fighter its not bad, if only for a few rounds at time, but its nothing really special.

Megaman Zero 2

from: Capcom

October 31, 2003
This game is soooo AWESOME!!!! From the very first scene, to the last, megaman zero 2 keeps you gripping hold of your console, on an adventure to save humans and robots alike. The very first scene pulls you straight into the game and keeps you amazed through the whole adventure. There are loads of levels, each with a really cool and chalenging boss. As some may know, megaman zero 2 is a sequel to the first GBA hit, and is TONNES better. The graphics are imrpoved, there are more levels, and the plot is more interesting. For and action platformer game, you can't get much better, even if your not a megaman fan.

Rogue Ops (PS2)

from: Capcom

February 06, 2004
Rogue Ops is a third person stealth action title and has plenty to offer the tactically minded gamer. It has lots of features that make it stand out from the pack; an almost overwhelming array of gadgets and guns, and a strong female lead, to name but two.

Rogue Ops' heroine is Nicky Connors, an ex-Special Forces operative who takes revenge for the tragic killing of her family.

Nicky starts off with a relatively modest selection of weapons and gadgets, but this expands rapidly as you play through the game. Rogue Ops is set in the future, allowing for a degree of creative licence when it comes to some of Nicky's techno toys. A good example of her slightly sci-fi gadgetry is the Fly-cam; a tiny camera no bigger than a common household fly, which ... Read More:
