I always did prefer SoR2 to the third installement however in terms of the 'holy grail' of side scrolling beat em ups I still think Final Fight 3 on the SNES is superior in almost every department.
Best week for the VC so far IMO. Right, i'm now off to kick Tyson's, opps I mean Mr. Dreams butt! Thats if I still have the lightning speed reactions necessary!
I have to agree partially with DEMON212's comments. Not the best week in terms of releases for me. Of course Super GnG is well received but the other two titles can hardly be described as gaming classics. Good, solid releases is what we want on a weekly basis, not the odd good title and the rest padded drivel. Saying that, it would work out very costly if they released 'must have' titles on a weekly basis!
Even to this day this game has a strange magnetism to it where you are compeled to 'have one more go'. To begin with it can feel very unforgiving as enemies seem much stronger and having to start back at the palace when you die can lead to mild frustration. As you get further into the quest the game opens up more and becomes very addictive and hard to put down. While certainly not the best Zelda title ever created I wouldn't say it was by any means the worse. Maybe its the nostalgic feel to it having played it many years ago on the NES. Whatever the reason, it is still a challenging & compulsive adventure and certainly falls into the catorgory of 'Old School' gaming!
