- STREET FIGHTER 2
-
-
- Am I the only person on this planet who thinks that Street Fighter
- II on the Amiga is complete *&$^&*&^ ?...Let me just give a short
- review............
-
- The graphics are big and colourful (or color for the Americans)
- but they move slower than a dead sloth (A sloth is a sluggish
- American animal... I had to look it up in the dictionary! - Ed)
- compared to the arcade. This style of beat`em-up is so rubbish.
- There is one screen with two fighters...... Hmmmm....a lot of scope
- for gameplay changes there isn't there?.......No, I don't think so
- either. Not only are the graphics useless, but the music is almost as
- bad as Axl Rose with a throat infection. (You've upset all the Guns
- and Roses fans out there now...... - Ed)
-
- Having played Street Fighter II on the SNES, there is no excuse
- to produce rubbish like that. Also, with Body Blows out, which is
- much smoother and better to play because about sixty moves haven't
- been crammed onto a one-button joystick. I reckon this will show SF2
- up completely even though SF2 will probably sell dozens more copies
- because some people can't see through the hype.........
-
- Thank you for letting me have this moan............
-
- (I don't think I said that you could ! - Ed)
-
- Right, while we're on the subject of moaning at over-hyped games
- that are not worth the disk they're put on............
- Kick Off 2............Is Amiga Power the only magazine in the entire
- universe that admits that this game is indeed a load of excrement?
- (Is this a blatant and obvious attempt at narking all Kick Off 2
- fans so that we have more articles next time ? .... I think so - Ed)
-
- Everyone else seems to think that it is brilliant.
-
- One: The graphics are small and Amstrad-like.
-
- Two: You have the ball, another player tries to tackle you, so you
- turn to avoid the player and the ball flies of your foot. (To bloody
- realistic innit ? - Ed) Then the opposition takes the ball dwon the
- field and scores.
- Three: you can only see a very small segment of the pitch and so you
- can't see anybody to pass to. O.K., you have a scanner but you only
- have time for a quick glance and by the time you have found yourself
- on the scanner the opposition has tackled you...............Why don't
- other magazines admit it is total rubbish?..........
-
- Wizball................Wierd it may be, but entertaining is what
- counts not how many times the word `fish' appears. (It doesn't in
- this game........it's a metaphor).
-
- The latest game that might appear on the list of over-hyped trash
- is Mortal Kombat. With only a couple of months to save up some hard
- saved cash, I just hope the game is better than the advert.
-
- You also get games that are brilliant but because there wasn't
- loads of money spent on advertising people think it is rubbish....
-
- Hunter............This is about the best example. At the time three
- dimensional games were just coming of age. This is a fine example of
- it's genre. There are loads of weapons to kill the enemy with, and
- along with the vehicles you can drive and various other equipment,
- this game is superb..........
-
- Heimdall, another game that happened to be really good despite the
- lack of advertising. One of my favourite games of all time (see the
- top and bottom ten of all-time article).
-
- But very occasionally the advertising people get it right. Syndicate
- had quite a lot of hype slapped to it especially just a month before
- it's release. But even so I bought it and it is now my favourite
- game of all-time. So, well done those advertising people.

- The "Uh-oh" bit by Gears
-
- Now listen up everyone.... Is it "Wehay", "Wehey", "Wahey" or
- "Wahay" ??? I think I'll stick to "Wehay !" Right... Let's try again...
-
- Wehay ! That should have upset a few Street Fighter 2 + Kick Off 2
- fans ! Whoops ! Or is it Woops.... I never could say for sure. Anyway,
- Wehay! Hit that REPLY button if this article got you angry !
