It's a hardcore magazine, with the same review policy as Edge, but sometimes the writers seem a little...rude. The first section I turn to is the 30 page Retro section, which is jammed packed full of all kinds of stuff that people like me just love. </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'> </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'>Anyway, recently the Retro section started reviewing old games. And in Issue 18 Final Fight was there. There is a problem with this review already. Read the text at the top about how the reviews work. It says that it is reviewing them by today's standards. So why is it that all the reviews are done as if they are being reviewed at the time when the game is released? Take Keith's comment, he says that he hopes that Final Fight will come out on the Mega Drive or Nintendo's next machine (SNES), and the fact that the start of the review says that Capcom have had sucesses with 1942 and Mega Man, and Final Fight looks to continue this trend. This text at the top was left there for a few more issues until Games TM suddenly realised it was wrong and changed it in issue 22. </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'> </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'>Anyway, unlike Copmuter and Video Game's review of Final Fight One, this review is actually good. It gets a good score, and explains it just as it is- it's a fun game which is a bit simple, but is still good. It could have added about the other problems like it being too hard but overall the review is very good. </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'> </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'>It is, however, not perfect. Part of the review says that you can "pick up knives and even molotov cocktails" You can never pick up the molotov cocktails- they always explode when they hit the ground, so you never have time to get them. </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'> </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'>The "In retrospect" comment at the top right says that Guy had been removed from the SNES version, but what about everything else like an entire level? Really, it should have said "A lot of features were removed" Also, it says the game was later ported to the SNES. What about all the other formats like the Mega CD and Spectrum? But hey, this review is probably the best I have got. </FONT></DIV> <DIV class=s0> <FONT style='color:#FFFFFF;font-size:13pt;'> </FONT></DIV> <DIV><font size=1 face=arial>__________<br>Created with the TRIAL version of <A HREF="http://www.visualvision.com/">Visual Vision's</A> <A HREF="http://www.EasyWebEditor.com/">EasyWebEditor</A>.
