Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

THE GOOD:
The price 19.99, The games title and then goes down hill from there.

THE BAD:
Camera rotation blows. Story is lame. Too much Maximo dieing and not enough armor laying around. Save system is attrocious. What are all those coins used for? and why can't I kill the stupid , skeleton hands coming out of the ground. What is that all about? If they were attempting a Zelda like game or a ghosts and goblins kind of game, they failed worse than miserably.

SUMMARY:
Don't waste your time OR your money. If you recieved this game for free, use it as a drink coaster. Why do video game companies put out crap like this? What are thier play testers thinking? Look, If Capcom reads any of these, and they won't because they hate the truth, give me a job. I'll play test all of your manure laden video games and tell you what they are really good for.

THE GOOD:
N/A

THE BAD:
Everything

SUMMARY:
This game is bad! Dont get it! The gameplay is TOOOOOOOOOOO long, TOOOOOOOOOOOO hard, and TOOOOOOOOOO much Maximo dieing! Don't even rent the game!

THE GOOD:
Nothing....

THE BAD:
Everthing! The gameplay, the graphics, the stupid humor, the characters....

SUMMARY:
When I first heard about this game, I heard that it was going to have the enjoyment and puzzles of what Zelda had but boy were they wrong!

I found this game boring and unenjoyable due to the fact that it was repetitive(very repetitive) and the levels were very uncreative as were the enemies.

Overall Outcome: Rent It!

THE GOOD:
is there anything to mention? it's even barely a worthy sequel to Ghouls 'n' Goblins

THE BAD:
Game's Bitchiness, screwy character design, bland story.

SUMMARY:
Excuse my language but this si the biggest bitch since the prostitutes in GTA3, you have to pay 100 coins to save (suppose you have rush to some important business and you're a coin short), continue points increase in value as the game progresses (the grim reaper needs you help for god's sake, why is he asking for more and more coins? they're already tough to get), I wouldn't waste the valuable time of my life on this crap load, Jak & Daxter is alot more fun than this

THE GOOD:
Graphics
Sound
Design of levels
The look is awesome

THE BAD:
Controls
Camera
The look is better than the game itself
The save system sucks

SUMMARY:
This is not your average platformer. You are Maximo helping Death(you have to, you are now dead) to get revenge on Achille(the bad guy) while saving your girlfriend and the four sorceresses.

What is really successful in this game is the presentation. It looks cool, and the cartoony graphics are amazing. The look is the capstone of the game, and that holds it together. The playability of the game is somewhat marred by bad camera and controls. It is really hampered by the lack of save opportunities. Even the checkpoints have to be specially struck by your sword if you wish to start off somewhere other than at the beginning of a level.

This game is loaded with challenges, however, and the 100% gamer will find...

THE GOOD:
Overall gameplay, challenge, music, extra challenges

THE BAD:
camera, might be to hard for mainstream gamers

SUMMARY:
Maximo is a good overall game for most gamers. Though it may be a bit tough for newbie gamers Capcom has done a good job of bringing this game back from the past.

The music was not bad but not something would want to download on the internet and usually fit the setting.

The graphics were on par with most other games though no special CG graphic movies were in this game they were pleasant to look at.

The stroyline was very well written kept me entertained most of the time.

THE GOOD:
Graphics, maniability, fun all round, challenging, entertaining combat system

THE BAD:
Laughable camera system, maybe a little tough for newbies?

SUMMARY:
Based on the old Capcom hit Ghouls and Ghosts, Maximo offers a challenging but rewarding platform package, full of skeletons and zombies to slash.

The scenario is best left ignored, kill-baddies-to-rescue-princess, but despite its simplicity, the game acts like some sort of drug to the player: just one more go before bedtime...

You'll sure need quite a few tries before seeing the end of Maximo, as the saving system is a little harsh. You have to pay to save, and only at the end of a level! With only 4 lives to start with, it's tough being a ghoulbuster! Luckily, by collecting souls throughout the game, you'll be able to buy "Continues", making it a little easier.

The combat system is a real gem. Equipped with a...

THE GOOD:
Action, controls, story, puzzles.

THE BAD:
Ok, not really bad, but it might be just a bit better, music.

SUMMARY:
I am really enjoying this game. My previous favorite was Jak & Daxter.
The most recent game I finished was Baldur's Gate.

But I really like Maximo. The players in my house tend to the extreem.
Myself, I am a detailed player, trying to get everything. My son is the opposite,
playing the minimum to get through a level. We work great together. He is
also enjoying the game tremendously.

It's not quite a slick as Jak & Daxter, but very close. The controls work nearly
perfectly. There's only one time, crouching, that I find doesn't respond quickly.

I don't mind repeating levels to build lives... I know there's tough challenges
on each higher (in some cases 'lower') level.

I think the bottom line, if you liked Mario 64,...

THE GOOD:
The good is the graphics, the control, sounds, and I like the storyline...

THE BAD:
The bad is you don't have anymore weapon just a sword and you can only have power ups, and sometimes you loose them when you die...

SUMMARY:
Well the game was really cool and I really liked it... Its sometimes hard to jump platform to platform... And the game is to short... Well the game rockss... thats all...

Overall this is a good game Most importantly its got good controls and is fun to play A little bit old school but revives everything you liked about the older games while keeping out the things you didnt like
