Loaded

HAHAHAH!! It is I, the Madgraduate, here to christen the page with a PSX review of....hmmm...what the hell can I pick? How aboot a classic game, LOADED? Yeah thats good.

Ah, now this is nice. A good cheap shooter to release the stress of the day. Nothing complex, nothing too hard. just lots of sweet, sweet killing!

Graphics: Now, this is an old game from 1995, one of the debut games for the PSX. But, it is a very clean and polished game. The graphics are crisp and clean, and the explosions are very nice. There is always a ton of action on screen at once, and there is never any slowdown. There are dozens of unique enemies that are all unique, and act differently. And they all die real nice...DIE! DIE THE LOT OF YOU! I AM THE KING OF DESTRUCTION! NONE CAN OPPOSE ME!! Ahem...sorry about that...cafiene jag again. Anyway, the weapons really blow the crap out of the enemies, and they leave smears on the walls. Speaking of walls, all of the levels are bright and imaginative, and they never get old. Really good design, and tons of fun.

Sound: Well, sound is really good here, a pleasant change of pace. Nice music, but the explosions really rip the speakers! If you pump the volume up, you will see that it is quite good for an older game. In fact I even liked the music, and it was heavy metal! Heck, it is certainly more auditorily pleasing than certain Capcom titles...[cough...Tekken series..cough].

Control: Standard control for a shooter, nothing too complex. Due to its age there is no analog or dual shock support. Control was nice and responsive though, and never stiff.

Gameplay: Ahh, the meat of the game. This is solid, pumpimg action at its finest. Loaded delivers tense hard core action at its finest. There are always waves upon waves of enemies coming at you, and there are bosses that will kick your ass if your not careful. The action only slows down for brief seconds, and then it will come back hard. I could not put this game down, as the stunning game play is just too addicting. One of the best shooters that I have ever played, especially one the PSX. I highly recomend it. Graphics: 8/10

Sound: 9/10

Control: 8/10

Gameplay: 10/10

Overall: 9/10 A hell of a good time..NOW I MUST KILL!! KILL!! WOO-HOO! DEATH!
