Hi,

Which is the game you hate most?, not necessarily the worst game of the neo from a technical point of view, but the one that you cannot put up with for any reason.

I have special hate for Power Spikes 2, I also hate Double Dragon quite a lot, these games has always looked to me like a joke or an insult.

Power Spikes i can understand but Double Dragon - that game is a total gem, great game imo

my crap list has:

garou - how i have tried to like this game, but its an overrated steaming pile of arse, but it looks beautiful

world heroes - just plain crap

world heroes 2: Jet how can you make a semi decent brawler like world heroes 2 then upgrade to this pish

most of the kof series - mainstream rubbish

thanks - i'm sure i will be flamed :o :o :o

World Heroes 2 Jet. I will become famous for hating this game.

I agree with Buster on this one, if anything it's a downgrade from WH2.

The main reason I can't stand it is because when playing the regular arcade mode, you don't get to play on each individual character's stage, you have to play versus three characters on these lame looking game show/ tournament stages.

Plus it's not a very good fighter anyway.

Super Spy... truly awful, a total waste of cartridge.

Metal Slug 4. Natch.

There are plenty of Neo games I don't like or I think are particularly poor for whatever reason, but these two I actually hate.

I have not had yet the opportunity to play LOSJ, but I am very curious about it, just to check if it is really as bad as people say. Could this game be worse than Power Spike 2, I remember starting to play this game and turning of my CD machine after few minutes, I think I never played it again, what a waist of time!!.

Buster I like WH2 Jet, definitely the shared stage system is quite weird but I thing technically (specially graphics) is better than WH2, I think it is still playable. Of couse my favorite is WH Perfect, I like it a lot.

WH2 I quite good but it looks more outdated than WH2 jet for my taste.

I agree with you about the first WH, I do not know if it was any good when it was first released, but when I played it, and that was not recently but years ago, it looked very outdated and simple to me.

About Double Dragon, you are the 2nd person that tells me that this is a good game. I tried to like it but I still think it is horrible, it may have some good points, like some stage or character and music but in general terms the characters are very oddly and badly designed, apart of suffering from lack of charisma, attraction and interest to me. The movements are also very common, I think that there is nothing original on that game. I like Voltage Fighter Gowkaizer a thousand times more.

However I still would like to see a Burning Fight beat’em up Double Dragon based game on the Neo.

Why do you like Double Dragon? I honestly cannot see anything on it.

i like the fighting mechanics and i'm surprised that you like Gowcaiser because they play very similar

i like the graphics - i love the super moves, but my favorite is the way the opponent enters the arena - i love it, my favorite being the jet ski, some levels are bland (like the plane) but fighting in a tunnel only to knock it in and a train appear behind you - stroke of genuis

technos are pretty good on the neo

wrt wh2: jet - yes it looks better than wh2 but looks arnt everything, wh2 plays alot better and i mean alot better, but i guess perfect is the best in the entire series and that is only a mediocre fighting game at most

Well... DD is really tops! But Burning Fight... :mad:

God! The animations are so bad !

But well... Ok ! I may hate it because I saw it after Streets of Rage 2 ,Final Fight, Captain Commando... and the list goes on.

Quite colorfull tough, but not rich in gameplay in my point of view.

Still seeking an Euro copy of DD myself. smirk

Atrophyed, you are right, Burning Fight cannot be compared with the Streets of Rage series and with Burning Fight, I would even like more Double dragon 2 for the NES.

But I still like the game though, I like a lot horizontal scroll beat’em ups, like Turtles in Time or Double dragon for SNES.

Eight Man and Mutation Nation are better than Burning Fight, but it still has something that makes it worth to be played. The first stage scene where the yakuza fat guy pushes the wagon out of the way is anthological.

About Voltage Fighter I know it is also from Technos, that is why I mentioned it, and yes it is very similar to Double Dragon, but I like its graphics and music more, and the characters are better designed for my taste and are more original. However none of those two games should be considered great games.

OH NO. YOU DID NOT SAY THAT!

Kotm = sex. Don't even try to say anything else. Fantastic games for their times, both 1 and 2. I just bought them on NGH before they went coal. frown

Yep, it has been mentioned already, Power Spikes 2 is the stinker #1 for me. I bought it on CD and I still hate myself for it.

I don't understand the hate for the WH series and Double Dragon, tho... ah well, tastes are tastes. I love them both.

While we're at it, I don't like most puzzlers except Magical Drop 2 (yeah, 3 is better, but it's not out on CD, and the h/c is too steep for me).

Fatal Fury 2

I absolutely loathe this game. It's the primary reason why I don't own FFS. THere have been occasions when I've come very close to throwing the cart across the room.

Fight Fever is easily the worst Neo Geo game I've played, and probably one of the worst fighters overall.

There are SNES SF2 wannabes that are better than this.

You need to be hunted down, have your legs broken, and be savagely anal raped by a pack of pitbulls for making comments like that. And that wasn't even a fanboy xbox comment this time!

I didn't like the first Sengoku at all. The Super Spy was also pretty shitty. Nothing THAT bad but they're as close as I've come to hating Neo games.
