Nice review of Rampart up by Gokhan for those that haven't noticed. This could be an interesting game to see peoples opinions on, RPG's are always a split decision! Its so not an RPG game, its a strategy game, i quite like it as its nice and simple. I hate strategy games normally as i cant be bothered with any game that takes more than about a minute to figure out

I actually quite like the game, but I haven't played it in years! Might dig it out for a go sometime soon.

I've just done one of Air Recue, trouble is I found it hard to write much about such an average game, if it was great or reall poor I could go on about it for ages, but as it is it's just solid, anyone else ever find that?

I quite like reviewing that type of game actually - coz you can suggest loads of ways it could have been improved and stuff, and explain why it's just average rather than missing out on greatness! That kind of thing.

I find it harder to talk about the really great games myself. I dont like to go into too much detail on them as i dont want to spoil any suprises. Whereas bad games are easier to write about, for one thing theres so many more negative words than positive words in the english laguage. Plus since youll activley be putting off people from buying it, you can describe as much as you want of the game, without worrying youve left them nothing to play and discover, as they probably wont want to play after youve ripped it to shreds.

I I read that review and pretty much agree. It's a game that is just a bit too mediocre to have a lot to write about. I really played it much as it just seemed a little too similar to the almighty Choplifter - except minus the fun!

I know I thought with just a littl ebit more time it could have been a really great game, it's just a bit lacking.

Ok, I've just submitted my first review this week, don't seem to be any mods on just now, but hopefully it'll be put up soon. Haven't been so kind to this game!!!

I have approved the review for you, just had to change the date in it, was released in 97 not 96. Its not a great game, its based on the Japanese cartoon series, hence the animation of the title and why the story is such a big part of the game. The tiny sprites are a downside from having being a direct port of the gamegear game, the sprites were not redrawn to fill the screen or anything, theres just more background shown instead.

Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure bout the release date - should've checked really, I just remembered that is said 96 in the title screen - cheers for changing it. Yeah, kind of the problem with porting a game I guess, but even with bigger sprites it just would have been a terrible game with bigger sprites!! ;D Hope you like the review anyway.

Also, it's pretty good that between quite a few of us we've managed to get around 10 reviews done in the last month or so! Am gonna try and do at least one more this week, but like I said before - I don't want people thinking 'jesus, leave some for someone else to do!!' or anything to that effect, so I don't wanna go overboard.
