First Taste - Captain America and the Avengers (Game Gear)



Heylo, everyone!

So the Avengers are pretty popular right now, huh? I rather liked the movie myself, too. :3 This game, though.. The music is okay, but it's not nearly the delightful tunes of the Game Gear that I'd heard before! It was just kinda more...there. Which I guess is still better than some of the other games I've touched on here.

The visuals aren't really all that great. I mean, it's a tiny Game Gear screen, so what're you gonna do? But even still.. When I reached the first boss, I had no idea who he was. He had yellow and green on him and he threw energy bolts...But to be fair, that could be a loooooot of people in superhero stuff... >.>;

The worst part I think is just the let down of the gameplay, really. It didn't feel super responsive all the time. Like, far as I can tell if you hold Down, and then attack, you'll shoot/throw a projectile. But it didn't always work, and I wasn't given any indication as to why it might not work. The hit detection was really wonky too. Like, that boss I mentioned? It doesn't seem like I can punch him at all. And so when I can't seem to punch him, and half the time my ground-projectile isn't working...And there's a certain stop point in the jump where you can no longer jump kick... I died quickly.

It wasn't a pleasant experience. I'd almost say it's just sour, but knowing the game also exists on the SNES and Genesis and is probably better there... Yeah, it was just kinda bitter.
