Pocky and Rocky 2
Reviewed by Ty Massei
Graphics: 5.5 out of 10
Sound: 6.5 out of 10
Gameplay: 5 out of 10
Hardness factor: 4 out of 10
Overall: 6 out of 10
Graphics: They upgraded the graphics a bit, though they still are pretty
basic. Enemies are cartoony but at least they have some nice detail.
Nothing really cool about the graphics.
Sound: Music and Sound effects are as good as the first. They sound very
Japanese-like and are probably the best part of the game. Sound effects
aren't as good as the music of course, but they fit the mood.
Gameplay: A game that's a lot like The Mystical Ninja (I prefer The Mystical
Ninja more) except that it's more of an overhead view and you make your
way up the screen to the end of the level. The gameplay is almost exactly
like its predecessor, so if you liked Pocky and Rocky 1, you'll like this one too.
Hardness factor: About the same as the first one. Though the graphics
don't make it seem like this game was for a young audience, the hardness
of it does. Don't let it turn you off about this game though.
Overall: 6 out of 10. A good game, though a bit too much like the original.
I still think it's one of those games that's interesting enough to own however.
