STREET FIGHTER 2
Am I the only person on this planet who thinks that Street Fighter
II on the Amiga is complete *&$^&*&^ ?...Let me just give a short
review............
The graphics are big and colourful (or color for the Americans)
but they move slower than a dead sloth (A sloth is a sluggish
American animal... I had to look it up in the dictionary! - Ed)
compared to the arcade. This style of beat`em-up is so rubbish.
There is one screen with two fighters...... Hmmmm....a lot of scope
for gameplay changes there isn't there?.......No, I don't think so
either. Not only are the graphics useless, but the music is almost as
bad as Axl Rose with a throat infection. (You've upset all the Guns
and Roses fans out there now...... - Ed)
Having played Street Fighter II on the SNES, there is no excuse
to produce rubbish like that. Also, with Body Blows out, which is
much smoother and better to play because about sixty moves haven't
been crammed onto a one-button joystick. I reckon this will show SF2
up completely even though SF2 will probably sell dozens more copies
because some people can't see through the hype.........
Thank you for letting me have this moan............
(I don't think I said that you could ! - Ed)
Right, while we're on the subject of moaning at over-hyped games
that are not worth the disk they're put on............
Kick Off 2............Is Amiga Power the only magazine in the entire
universe that admits that this game is indeed a load of excrement?
(Is this a blatant and obvious attempt at narking all Kick Off 2
fans so that we have more articles next time ? .... I think so - Ed)
Everyone else seems to think that it is brilliant.
One: The graphics are small and Amstrad-like.
Two: You have the ball, another player tries to tackle you, so you
turn to avoid the player and the ball flies of your foot. (To bloody
realistic innit ? - Ed) Then the opposition takes the ball dwon the
field and scores.
Three: you can only see a very small segment of the pitch and so you
can't see anybody to pass to. O.K., you have a scanner but you only
have time for a quick glance and by the time you have found yourself
on the scanner the opposition has tackled you...............Why don't
other magazines admit it is total rubbish?..........
Wizball................Wierd it may be, but entertaining is what
counts not how many times the word `fish' appears. (It doesn't in
this game........it's a metaphor).
The latest game that might appear on the list of over-hyped trash
is Mortal Kombat. With only a couple of months to save up some hard
saved cash, I just hope the game is better than the advert.
You also get games that are brilliant but because there wasn't
loads of money spent on advertising people think it is rubbish....
Hunter............This is about the best example. At the time three
dimensional games were just coming of age. This is a fine example of
it's genre. There are loads of weapons to kill the enemy with, and
along with the vehicles you can drive and various other equipment,
this game is superb..........
Heimdall, another game that happened to be really good despite the
lack of advertising. One of my favourite games of all time (see the
top and bottom ten of all-time article).
But very occasionally the advertising people get it right. Syndicate
had quite a lot of hype slapped to it especially just a month before
it's release. But even so I bought it and it is now my favourite
game of all-time. So, well done those advertising people.

The "Uh-oh" bit by Gears
Now listen up everyone.... Is it "Wehay", "Wehey", "Wahey" or
"Wahay" ??? I think I'll stick to "Wehay !" Right... Let's try again...
Wehay ! That should have upset a few Street Fighter 2 + Kick Off 2
fans ! Whoops ! Or is it Woops.... I never could say for sure. Anyway,
Wehay! Hit that REPLY button if this article got you angry !
