Platostotal's retro gaming reviews

[platostotal]

I'll start this thread later for members to check out older games, my reviews will focus on Snes-N64-ps1-ps2-DC, as some of these games are available for download on Xbox-Wii-Ps3 you can see what they look like and what others feel about em.(coming soon)

Super Street Fighter 2-Snes This is the last installment on the 16 bit consoles, so good it's like gaming candy. All modern beat em-ups came out of the success of this series, just as much fun at home as in the arcades(and good players can be stunning against average ones(as I found on more than one occasion), you really should give this a go as it's gaming royalty. The Super version is the one to go for.

International Superstar Soccer-Snes, The best game of footy up to that point(1994) Kick-Off and FIFA pre-date it but can't compete against this. When I saw this being demoed in Virgin my jaw dropped, a cpu player played a kinda thru-ball, hadn't seen anything like it before. Pro Evo, as it's name implies sprang from this, great with a mate but still cool on your own, just think how much dosh Konami have made off this one concept.(the Japanese version had full voice commentary...on a Snes cart!!)

mario 64
legend of zelda ocarina of time

playstation

tomb raider 2
tomb raider anniversary
metal gear solid

Axelay-Snes, A supreme shoot-em up with both vertical and horizontal levels and just the right difficultly level, so you can jump in and blast away, a big step up from the Gradius and Nemesis side scrollers, if you get hit you lose a weapon and there's plenty of em to choose. Tho Parodius probably pips it for graphics, Axelay is still my fave Snes blaster. The boss in the lake of fire is a gem.

I have Steet Fighter 2 Champion Edition for my Mega Drive, and it's awesome!

Metal Gear Solid on the PS1-That and Silent Hill-can't whack them!

ISS PRO - now PRO EVOLUTION S***** - is still the best football series around. Never that much of a fan of FIFA. FIFA 98 is good though.

I used to have the Japanese version of ISS 64 and it was pretty decent.

Was never a fan of METAL GEAR SOLID but looooooooooved SILENT HILL. Possibly the scariest game ever.
