| 101. Strider 2 | |

Editorial Review Upon first play, Strider 2 may seem like a mindless slashorama,with enemies coming at players from all sides. But there's more toStrider than brainless brutality. Hiryu can also jump, doublejump, kick off of walls, slide, and cling to almost everything, whichmakes it possible to avoid most foes, with practice. For better or worse, Capcom makes it easy for players to blow throughthis game by way of unlimited continues that let Strider start from thevery point where he died. Luckily, players are graded at the end ofeach level, giving at least some incentive to perform well. --RobbGuido Pros: Features Reviews (9)

Editorial Review As you might expect from any licensed Barbie game, this title isdesigned to appeal to young girls. While there isplenty of pleasant eye candy for beginning gamers, this game clearlyencourages players to engage in low-stress fun that requires littlehand-eye coordination. Instead, Barbie Race & Ride is more aboutexploration and, in some cases, adventure. The game does rewardpersistent players with access to a much-fabled "secret ranch." Forgamers that want to take a break from the saddle, there is anopportunity to wash and groom your horse in the barn. Barbie Race & Ride succeeds in offering a friendly, nonviolentexploration environment for beginning gamers. Older brothers, beware! --Brett Atwood Pros: Cons: Features Reviews (10)
Mattel obviously has no idea what girls who have the ability of playing video games want in them. We are forced to ride chunky, ugly horses with unrealistic animations (horses stretch their necks outwards when jumping rather than flinging them upwards. This makes the obstacle course very hard) in environments that look painted-on and thrown together. Barbie is constantly stopping your ride to make you watch squirrels hop across branches, and there are only two gates to choose from (canter and gallop) I wouldn't have such a problem with this if canter wasn't so slow; it slows down the surrounding area so it's just like riding in slow-mo. The firefly game was very difficult for me when I was young and it took me near forever to figure out that you just open the lid near the firefly and it flies in. All in all, this game is one of the dusty ones in my collection. I would suggest Mary-Kate and Ashley's Winner's Circle for older girls, and Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue for younger ones.

Another great thing about this game is that it is different. You don't go around killing people in a blood bath. My mom is always complaining about those type of games. Anyway, this is a must have for any gamer out there!

Gameplay:4/10: It isn't too fun but it would be for 5-7 year olds if they can play. Graphics:4/10: Mushy and gross. I can't tell what the level is without looking. Sound:5/10: Okay,it's just music that fits that place like on Dinosaur! the music is prehistoric. Control:7/10: Easy, fast carts to speed all through Haunted Mansion. So easy, a 3 year old could control this cart without trying. Overall:20/40: That is a 2.5! Round up and this game's got a 3! This game could get better!

Suggestion to the designers of this game: make a long GUNCON2 game!
If you buy this game, I would recommend a GUNCON.(The "gun" thing you can find in arcades.) For me, this makes the game more interesting, but, suit yourself.

Amazon.com Review With computer-animated cinematic sequences doing the lion's share of thestorytelling, players must guide Tanner through more than 40 action-packedmissions in four different city settings, this time on foot--which primarilyallows Tanner to carjack other vehicles--as well as behind the wheel. While it can be of a lot of fun to play, Driver 2 is no joy ride. Themissions can be quite unforgiving and require many restarts to complete, and thecops are quite determined--even at the "Easy" setting. Also, the game's coarse,choppy 3-D graphics often get in the way of things, with slowdowns disruptingthe game's pace, and buildings and such popping up out of nowhere. --JoeHon Pros: Reviews (99)

I fear that, since almost all of your foes in this game are robot aquatic creatures (sharks, crabs, sea horses, etc.), some people may dismiss it as "silly".In fact there is nothing silly or stupid about it.It's a fast-paced side-scroller with intensity to spare, and it boasts some of the most hectic bullet-dodging mayhem you'll ever encounter. Your spacecraft has two weapons which are fired simultaneously:the standard, straightforward gun (horizontal) and grenades (vertical), both of which can be upgraded by snatching orbs from defeated enemies.What makes the game unique is the capture ball, a weapon you can launch at your foes to turn them into your sidekicks.They'll follow you loyally and attack whenever you fire, like the "options" in the Gradius series.There are quite a few different enemies you can do this to, and all of them have unique offensive capabilities.Some fire a very basic shot;some fire a "spread" shot;some hurl themselves at the opposition, causing damage by brazenly crashing into them at high speeds. Speaking of speed, G Darius rips along at a pretty brisk pace,although the stages themselves are of satisfactory length.Minor slowdown sometimes occurs when you're doing battle with a boss and it launches about 100 bullets in your direction at once.In those rare cases, the slowdown is actually a blessing in disguise, because it affects everything on the screen, not just you. Yes indeed, the screen can get mighty cluttered at times, but never to a hopelessly overwhelming degree.Unlike some shooters where staying alive is a strictly academic process of trial and error and moving into the right spot at the right time (cough, R-TYPES, cough), G Darius never "punishes" the player for an unwise maneuver by condemning him/her to an instant death.If your reflexes are sharp enough and you never release the rapid fire button, there is always at least a fashion model-slim chance that you'll be able to blast your way out of an extremely sticky situation and emerge victorious by the skin of your teeth.Your shields can be powered up much like your weapons can, a fact that brings new meaning to the term "life-saver". Mind you, you can do more than dodge and peck away at the opposition to elude destruction at the hands (well, fins anyway) of a big, bullying barracuda or a cluster of kamikaze catfish.Foes bound to your service by the capture ball can be detonated if you want to take out any surrounding adversaries (or if you just plain get sick of having the stupid beasts follow you around).Even better, you can use them to power up your Alpha Beam, a weapon that will easily cut a swathe of carnage through standard enemies and lay some serious pain on the bosses as well.Don't start thinking you're omnipotent, though;each boss has a similar weapon (imaginitively titled the Beta Beam) and when yours meets theirs head-on, a struggle for supremacy ensues, with both beams growing in size and power until A) the duration of the beam expires, B) the battle concludes, or C) the entire screen gets filled by a glorious outpouring of blazing destruction originating from one side or the other. The graphics here may not be terribly impressive but they get the job done.The designs of the enemies sometimes leave a bit to be desired (there's only so much you can do to make robotic fish look exciting, y'know?).The backgrounds are the game's strongest visual point, with some cool animation telling miniature stories while you're fighting for your life.There's one stage where a planet in the distance is doomed to be destroyed every time you play.Poor planet.My favorite stage has the ruins of a human city floating around;check out your ship's reflection in the mirrored windows of a skyscraper torn from its foundation, silently drifting through space. The soundtrack has some forgettable fare with a 16-bit feel, but a few tracks are really striking.There's one (in the stage I just described) that can only be described as sounding "spacy" which is devoid of percussion and is so laid-back, it makes the on-screen chaos seem like some bizarre new age therapy.The final battle music is suitably catchy and adrenalized...you can also hear it when you first load the game, before pressing start, but obviously it won't have the same impact.And the "game over" tune is...dare I say it...beautiful!It almost makes it pleasant to end the game prematurely. At the end of each stage, you'll have to choose between two adjacent stages to move on to.There are fifteen stages in all, and you'll have to beat five of them to win the game.Plus, each stage splits into an upper route and a lower route at the half-way point, and the boss will use different attacks against you depending on which route you take.Therefore, you'll have to play through the game quite a few times before you can truthfully say that you've seen it all.This, plus nine difficulty settings and the ability to adjust your reserve lives, credits, and capture balls makes for very high replay value for shooter fans of all skill levels. If you still enjoy 2-D shooters, either passionately or casually, I cannot recommend this game enough, as long as you're prepared to PLAY it rather than just look at it.Whatever it lacks in graphic intensity, it more than makes up for with the IMPORTANT kind of intensity, and that's in the gameplay department.I've had this game for several years and I can't imagine it growing tiresome anytime soon.
Instead of buying Gradius III & IV for PS2 (if you have one), you could buy this and another game for the same money. G Darius is much better than Gradius III & IV even though it was created for the PS1. P.S. if you can't find it - try Funcoland

Amazon.com Review Players will react strongly to Scott Farrell's commentary. Some willlove his frequent one-liners and comedic timing, while others will hateit. There will be no argument over the game's shoddy graphics, however.The players are extremely blocky and lack detail. The game's controlsare a mixed bag. While running, passing, and checking are fairlysmooth, controlling a player's shot can be challenging. Technically and aesthetically Blast Lacrosse is an average gameat best. However, it offers the unique experience of a novel sport.Gamers looking for something different will want to consider thistitle. No other game will let you play out your dream of becoming aRochester Knighthawk. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros: Reviews (78)
