Video Game Reviews of Maximo Ghosts To Glory
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome fun filled game. It's a nice break from all these modern games where the screen is so crazy and you have to have 10 hands to work the controls. It's simple, great graphics, fun and entertaining. My husband bought it my accident and we had a blast playing it. Highly suggested.
Description of Maximo Ghosts To Glory
A modern version of Capcom's Ghosts 'n' Goblins series, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory is one of those rare games that offers a solid update of a classic arcade title. This 3-D platform game delivers all the charm of its 2-D side-scrolling ancestor with current gameplay mechanics. In his latest adventure, Maximo returns to his kingdom to find it in disarray. His formerly trusted advisor, Achille, has banished the four sorceresses that govern the land and forced Maximo's true love to marry him. To save the day, Maximo must run, jump, and fight his way through five environments spanning more than 25 levels. Like his predecessors, Maximo must constantly worry about upgrading his armor and weapons. Play the game skillfully and you'll have a heavily armed fighting machine. Take too many hits and Maximo will be fighting villains in his heart-covered boxers.Graphics-wise the game is very strong. The animations are smooth, the textures are rich, and the environments are detailed. The sound is an absolute joy, the effects are humorous, and the music is fantastic. Tommy Tallarico Studios has done an excellent job taking the melodies from the original game and creating updated variations that are equally memorable. Although some will find the gameplay repetitive and many will think the boss fights are too easy, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory offers an excellent 15 to 20 hours of platform goodness. --Raymond M. Padilla
Pros:
- Great 3-D update of a 2-D arcade classic
- A nice variety of weapons and moves
- Fantastic music
- Boss fights are on the easy side
- Gameplay can get repetitive
