[Megaman vs Metroid]

dammit....

it was truly perfect except for one minor detail that had me ripping my hair out. I was fighting metroid, and charging up my buster gun, then she would shoot me and my charge would go away! Please, change it so you dont have to recharge after every time you get hurt! In the real megaman, you can get hurt, but still have a charge! Omg it pissed me off so much, i'd have a big charge ready to go then samus would come and touch me and i'd get hurt and the charge would go away... so the only shots i got off at her were regular little white dots... Other than that, this game was the ultimate metroid. I loved it. Great job, i'm voting 5 for sure.

[Defend Your Castle (Full)]

pretty good

it made for some laughs as people were "raining" down from the heavens... Howeve, once i got past level 25, it became utterly pointless... I had 200 craftsmen, and 115 of each wizards and archers... I didnt even have to do anything and i'd still win.. It is impossible to lose now and well, its boring... The suicide bomber enemies get incredibly annoying... that same boom boom boom noise over and over... Oh well, it was a very fun game before i got into the 20's.

[DragRacer]

what the hell?

this was truly a great game and very addictive... However there is one bug that seems to really REALLY PISS me off... It's really stange too... Just after i refilled my nitrous bottle, i went out to race for like $2000. I usually win these kinda races, but what the fuck!! The race starts, and i hit space, but nothing happens!! I look, and my nitrous tank is depleting and im just sitting perfectly still, while the opponent races away. Once my nitrous is completely empty, THEN my car decides to move and by now, im like 100 seconds behind, so i'm screwed. Please, try to figure this bug out, it'd make things lots better. Ok... Great game, nonetheless.

[AB: Spindle]

nice game

that was cool, i just beat it... But i didn't understand the ending at all, and what the hell was that thing he put on his head?? Im confused, but wahtever, It was a fun game.

[The House]

well...

ok, first off, the graphics suck. A lot. But the gameplay is very good, i liked it. It's got some nice puzzles and whatnot... Allthough the flying chair bit made no sense whatsoever. Anyway, im currently stuck in the basement and its fucking impossible to get out! Please, hint or something!

[Portal Fighter]

close but no cigar

this game had potential, what with the three modes of play and large quantity of characters... But, sadly, it didn't quite reach it. The game was just way too easy, sitting there, hitting the same button over and over again. There was basicaly no need for the defend button since you never know when the guy is going to attack and when he does, it's too late - the attack is over and you've lost hp. And if you try to defend early, your guy will just jump back into fighting position. You need to make it so you can stay in defense mode as long as you hold down the button instend of "dodging" as you put it. Also, there were too few controls and I found it quite boring sitting there with pico shooting nonstop. Also, most of the special attacks were jokes, no blow-you-away visuals and no massive damage, just a slow attack... I know this is a lot to ask, but next time, make controls where you can move around in the environment and jump and kick and throw. Whatever, this game is still good.

raitendo responds:

you have many valid points, although I have one reservation: you CAN keep the defense button pressed down, so even if the character seems to dodge, he will actually be safe all the time. as for the rest, I agree completely, and all games that I'm currently working on are games where you can move around (although only one is a fighter). cheers
(btw, you accidentally wrote the review for the prequel to PFII instead of PFII, which must obviously be the game your review is concerning)
