Advance Guardian Heroes hate?

[NeoGML]

So,

After reading through a couple of threads, namely the one about the new gunstar heroes game, it seems as though at least a few people really didn't like this game.

How come?

I thought pretty much everything from graphics to sounds to gameplay was pretty top notch; i don't know what else they could have done.

How could you not like that repel/parry system? that was cool, man!

I owned the first one for saturn for a while, didn't get through the single player though.

So to all haters, I ask that you spew forth your justifications in great detail. I'm very curious.

Thanks.

i didnt hate it but its definately not worthy of the guardian heroes name.

i think that pretty much sums up everyones hate for it.

i mean ur pretty much hitting the same thing the entire game, then ur flying around on spaceships i was simply wtf is going on here!?

just wasn't as good as it was for saturn thats all. not bad just not that great either, plus the devil mode or whatever is so pointless.

I actually disliked the graphics. They weren't bad, just... not my taste I guess. Personal preference. As for the game itself, I thought the control was terrible. They should have kept the three planes system from the Saturn original IMO. Hit detection was weak at best. I honestly didn't play through much of the game, but in the thirty minutes or so I did play it, I knew I never really wanted to play through it.

Overall, just a bad game. And it was inevitable that it'd be compared the original. It fell really short in that respect.

Control was shit.
Hated the re-designed character designs

= me have the right to Loathe this game.

Plus, it kind of broke Treasure's winning streak of great games.

I didn't think it was all that bad. Sure, the hit detection needed some work, and yes, the controls were kind of on ice, but I still enjoyed it. I'm stuck on the last boss though.

I think a more appropriate title would have been Advance Guardian Slowdown myself.

I really felt the controls and overall collisions just weren't worthy of the money. I mean there are beat'em ups from fifteen years ago that have better gameplay and that's kind of tragic given the technology and relative ease of development at hand on the GBA.

Ditto on the graphics subcons.

People need to look at Advance Double Dragon and Zanac X Zanac to see how this sort of thing is done.

What is Zanac X Zanac? I love beat 'em ups, so if there is a good one out there I don't know about, let me know. Thanks.

Zanac x Zanac is a Compile shooter for the PS1.

Zanac X Zanac is so awesome.

It's Zanac Neo, an awesome new Zanac game, and it also includes the original Zanac. EVERY version of Zanac is on there, and you can mix and match whether it has various graphic/sound/slowdown fixes or not. So if you want you can play it EXACTLY like it is on the NES OR the Famicom, but with the graphic breakup site.

devil mode or whatever is so pointless.

I haven't played this game, but hearing about this mode (six extra minutes of life then the game is over IIRC) sounds like maybe this feature is to help players see what dangers there are further down the path so as not to make the mistake of getting killed again.

Fuck yeah, I really miss my copy of that game now. Such a bitchin' 2D treat, the swan song of the mighty Compile. Unbelievable soundtrack too. Anyone got mp3s?

It appears that 'streak' is utterly destroyed.

Check out this thread for the Gunstar Super Heroes preview...simply incredible.
