Klassic Konsole Karting

Advantages: Well-designed courses, nice modes, racing feel, balance of play
Disadvantages: Always in split-screen, lack of options

A review of Super Mario Kart for SNES. When Super Mario Kart was released in 1993 over in the UK it went on to become a favourite of mine as well as with those whom I frequently played the game with. However, it wasn't until 2005 that I had managed to acquire the game for myself. During that time I had it on and off with this game but never did I lose that feel for Super Mario Kart - and I doubt I will. What is neat about this racing game is the ...
...with. Then there are the Super Mario World themes running through each of the game's consistently well-designed courses (of which twenty makes for plenty); items as can be found in the Super Mario games to be picked up from question mark boxes during a race; and coins littered around the tracks which are not without their incentives either. Apart from the likes of the well-known Invincibility Star theme, most of the music composed for Super Mario ...

A Break From the Monotony

Advantages: Unique aspects of gameplay and plot
Disadvantages: Hard to obtain a cartridge, can be sometimes glitchy: save often

...elements of gameplay seen in Secret of Mana. However, unlike many others do, this game should not be compared to Secret of Mana, as both RPGs have completely different aims. Story: The game starts out with a medium-length intro. It shows you (the character has whatever name you give him, if not given a name he is called "the boy") in 1995, just coming out of a movie theater. Your dog chases a cat into an old abandoned laboratory. You follow him ...
...gameplay is where similarities to Secret of Mana can be seen. The menus are organized in rings, the bosses look similar, you acquire new weapons but it is just like upgrading in Secret of Mana. However, there are a few more unique aspects. Weapons are leveled up by usage, and you level up also. Your dog serves as a partner in the fighting and you can play as him as well. His "weapon" (his bite) levels up as well. The AI is rather advanced, you can ...

Time to shatter the Illusion

Advantages: Stunning game-play and addictive nature
Disadvantages: The guide can ruin it - although you don't have to look...

When I joined Ciao oooooooh about a week ago or so, I was determined to do plenty of reviews on games that have touched my heart over my years of gaming. I was therefore very pleased to find this sweet little nut buried in the archives, and was very pleased to read wizpip's review. Similarly to wizpip, I think that this game is a very accomplished games and certainly one of the better RPGs on the SNES. The game starts off, you controlling young ...
...but before long it is decided that Will should go on an adventure and save the world. The storyline might not sound like much initially, but believe me, it becomes very involved and engrossing and there are many a deep and meaningful message about the way we humans live, it even made me question myself once or twice! I don't think I can honestly say a game has done that to me before! The game itself can be devishly easy at times,(fit the diamond-shaped ...

Review of Illusion of Time (SNES)

are you gonna be the next peter sampras?

Advantages: fast free flowing action, fun to play
Disadvantages: can take a while to get use to controls graphics

Introduction *************** Super tennis first came out in 1991 by a small company, called Tokyo Skoisek Graphic's ************ The graphic's were quite standard for the SNES at the time. The characters each have there own look wearing the basic tennis kit, the rackets come across looking a bit larger then they maybe should, but this doesn’t effect the game. The courts don’t look brilliant, but they are good enough to play on. Good Points ...
...do with the graphics, but the title screen shows you the point of view of the tennis ball, also the crowd looks quite good. Downfalls ************ The graphics are not that bad in this game but they are nothing special. Playability ************* This games playability is of a good standard, and the buttons do work well even though the timing of getting to the ball can take a bit of practice. Once you manage to control the serve you will be ...

Review of Super Tennis (SNES)

I Won't Be Shedding Bloody Tears Over This One

Advantages: Good graphics, some good music, good action
Disadvantages: Unbalanced difficulty, poor sound effects

...emerge victorious against Dracula. Super Castlevania IV can be seen as an enhanced remake of the original Castlevania, but for certain this is Simon's venture into Castlevania. In comparison to the original (of which I've played the NES version) Simon is far flexible for guiding here. Not only does he have control over how he jumps, but he can also jump onto stairs, move in a crouching position and snap his whip in 8 directions. However, it's possible ...
...assigned to a single button. Super Castlevania IV isn't a hard game to get into, but the first half - which sees Simon tackle a couple of levels outside of the castle before heading indoors - had been easy going, with the bosses providing no real problems. The game does crank the challenge up thereafter though unfortunately the majority of lives that I lost came about from falling to my death - Simon's reaction to taking damage not helping here ...
