Metal Gear
Reviewed by Behnam Nowrouzi
If you have played Snake's Revenge or the famous Metal Gear Solid,
they make inferences towards this game. This game sets up the
next two games. Very funny at times because of poor translations
Metal Gear will prove to you to be one of the best NES games ever.
Graphics 9 out of 10
I am not saying this is any comparison to a N64 game. I am not even
saying it's close to Super Nintendo game. I am intending that this
is a marvel of 8 bit technology. The background is great and the scenery
is good for the NES. The only thing that brings this game down is clarity.
It loses some edge to some other classics such as Super Mario Bros. 3.
Music and Sound 6 out of 10
This game's music is limited. it differs from location but the main
espionage theme is maintained throughout most of the game. The theme
itself isn't bad though.
Game Challenge 10 out of 10
You will see this game is probably one of the most challenging games
you will find for the NES system. The locations are hard. The situations
are tense. Most of all the handicap is amazing. You will start off
with no weapons and a base to take over. The mission is very attainable
but you won't beat it overnight or not even a month. The enemies and
the cameras just add more confusion as the game continues. There are
even twisted plots and other surprising stuff. The end boss is also very
hard. you will have to be lucky to beat him. The game genie will ruin
the challenge so I recommend don't use it.
Game Play-Fun 9 out of 10
This is a great game mostly because of the espionage feel. You will
see that the situations become more tense as the game progresses.
It is also very challenging, one cannot breeze through this one.
Replayability 5 out of 10
There is not much replayability because the same mission is ahead of
you every time. The only reason I would suggest one would play the
game again is too find the missing items missed the first time.
Game Value 10 out of 10
It is worth the price today. It's like a 5 dollars in stores and the Nintendo
system is no more than 15 dollars. You will love this game and once you
are done your pocket will still contain some money.
Frustration 7 out of 10
There are frustrating areas. This is mostly caused by the fact if you
move out of the background and reenter it the enemies will come back
again. Some instances you'll need to come back and if you low energy it
could mean game over. One could say this adds to the challenge. oh
yeah you can't save your game by the way.
Humor 10 out of 10
The translations will make you laugh at some points throughout the
game. Such as "I feel sleepy", "I feel asleep", "Oh oh the trucks have
started to move". This may not seem funny to you now but you will
laugh if you play it.
Overall 9 out of 10
Being the first game to introduce different types of the same
weapon has really earned the spot on the classics shelf.
