I played it for like 20 minutes last night. I hate the gameplay mechanics, and it's pretty obnoxious. I hear this has quite a following... HOW?
-
FUCK YOU
PLUTO THIS FILTH
-
You seriously like this game?
You play a STAR that swings around aimlessly to defeat stuff. Also, the collision detection is awful. You grab stuff right in front of you and you don't throw it at times. What in the hell, man.
-
yes. the technique in that game is amazing, and the production values are stellar -- pun intended, you JADED NINTHING.
-
Technique? The gameplay mechanics are broken. If an enemy is closer to you then the full length that your arms can extend, you can't grab it. Sometimes, you can't grab enemies that are at the full extension length of your arms. The swinging becomes tedious, and unless there's a real challenge somewhere in Round 2, I am willing to write this game off after Round 1.
-
Ristar is amazing.
-
BOGGLE.
-
You're high. I grab enemies that are close to me without any issue -- I'm not even sure how you got this compliant. And you haven't even made it to World 2, which is a water level and has no swinging! OMG THE WORLD 2 SOUNDTRACK
-
That's becasue I shut off the game when I beat the first world boss. I will give it a second shot, but there are SEVERE gameplay problems thus far.
It's NO Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
-
Ristar is OK, not amazing but quite fun. The music is great, love the travelling between worlds music

It's the future of gaming!

Ristar is easily one of the 5 best games available on the VC.
Comix Zone is probably the best.
-
I can't believe they make you pay for those games. I got the Sega Genesis Collection for $15 and it has both those games on it. Isn't that the price of like, two VC games? :lol
-
I played up to some stupid toucan that fires musical notes at you.
I liked it up to that point, I'll finish it someday.

I think he's playing on the SUPERIOR SEGA GENESIS COLLECTION, whitey.

Totally.
I just got a score of 20,000 on Columns. That game is surprisingly addictive, but that music gets way too repetitive.
And Super Thunder Blade is the hardest game ever made. I can't get like, ten feet without dying.
The second world in Ristar is a lot, lot better. The enemies don't see to be able to escape my extended arms as well. I am liking it more and more. The third world is pretty hard. And what's with Sega games and no save points? Did they not know people have been able to save their games to Nintendo machines the dawn of man (well, practically)?

Comix Zone is pimp
I will download Ristar and play it on my PSP
-
I don't know, but I built up my game skills that way Willco. I didn't have save features to help me, so I always had to start from the beginning every time I played the game. This game gave me much appreciation for all the games I owned, because if I liked them, I had to replay them.

dude, hit the select button -- the psp version lets you save state to the memory card!
-
You can do the same on the ps2 version

That's cheating.

Didn't care much for Comix Zone when I played it on the PSP Genny Collection, and later the Wii... enemies seem to take too many hits to kill, and the game seems to be pretty brutal with only giving you one life. Was doing pretty decently in the first stage, till I fucked up a jump, and then that was it, total game over. Graphics are extremely detailed and impressive for the Genesis, though.
Let's be like InsertCredit and talk about how Comix Zone is all "postmodern" and "breaking the 4th wall" :-X

You have to use certain moves to easily dispatch the enemies. You have to use creativity. It takes a while.
