Aliens Vs. Predator Multiplayer Strategy Guide [AS]
23 hours 8 mins ago
Europe is truly a follower this week. They follow in both Japan's and North America's footsteps by getting one game from each region that had released this past week. One pretty good one from Japan, and one mediocre one from North America.
The pretty good one from Japan is none other than the hit snowboarding game 1080 Snowboarding for the N64. Out of the four or five snowboarding games that had hit the N64, 1080 Snowboarding is the third best, if only because of Snowboard Kids 1 and 2. Still, a good game and is probably worth the purchase.
The mediocre one from North America is Riot Zone for the TurboGrafx-CD. It's still a Streets of Rage/Final Fight clone, and the popular opinion is that it should be avoided.
To recap:
Keep track of the latest VC releases with the new 2008 edition of What's New on VC? in the Virtual Console forum.
Hot on the heels of Japan, who got the game on Tuesday, Europe has gotten the next N64 game - 1080 Snowboarding! This is another "realistic" racer, similar to Wave Race 64, except that you're, of course, snowboarding instead of riding jetskis. Like the other 3 N64 racers on VC, it holds up quite well and is well worth checking out.
On the other hand, stay far away from Riot Zone. This is a rather blatant clone of Final Fight and Streets of Rage, and unfortunately for us, it's not nearly as good as either of them. Despite it being a CD game, the audio and graphics generally fail to impress, and it's not very fun to play either!
That's the 4th week in a row without 3 or more VC games - I think it's pretty safe to say now that we're not going to get more than 2 for a while, unfortunately. Check out the reviews:
1080 Snowboarding - N64 - 1000 Wii Points
Riot Zone - Turbografx-CD - 800 Wii Points
