TalkBack / Re: REVIEWS: Rygar: The Battle of Argus

Hi.
I just registered myself on this forum to tell you that in my opinion the reviewers rating for this game is not justified.
I played videogames since Pong hit the arcades and also was involved in the development of some videogames for different home consoles.
A 3.0 rating for the graphics is not quite fair.The graphics where a major aspect why I loved this game on the PS2.That doesn't mean that they were the best in the world at that time but to me the conveyed the mood of the game perfectly and were clean,detailed,colorful and with lots of variation for each setting.
Of course for a re-release they could have been done better by today's standards and graphical/technical possibilities.
And of course they could have redesigned the camera/controls/combat system which were OK but left room for improvement.
I really would have liked a sequel and not just a straight port with minimal changes (I think they changed the main character but that isn't really an improvement).
But I still have fond memory's for the game because it was one of the few games which really kept my interest long enough to even finish it.
Some other games which held my interest that long were Metroid (SNES), Dracula X (PC Engine), Castlevania SOTN (PS2), Alundra (PS1), Ridge Racer 1 (PS1), Zelda Ocarina of time (GC).It's not that it plays in the same league but to me it was fun. I also played through GOW 2 in Co-Op but that didn't took so long. ;-)
So even if I crave some nostalgic passion for the game I would have rated the game with a final 6.0 verdict.
PS:English is not my native language so please excuse any grammar or spelling mistakes.
