Podcast Discussion / Re: RetroActive #21 Poll: GBA Ambassador Edition
« on: January 10, 2012, 10:28:51 PM »
I (an ambassador) voted for Kirby. Of the 3 choices, this is the only one I've had a chance to play a bit of. I read about the game on another website and the opinion was that it was an uneven game with some metroid-like exploration. Some thought it was much more difficult than most Kirby games. I shied away from Fire Emblem because I thought that it would be rather long in comparison to the others. Wario was a close second choice, but what I've read about it indicates it is far from the best Wario game. My time is so limited that I need a quick play game.
I posted the above yesterday. After writing it I had a chance to play the other 2 games. Wario was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it more than Kirby. The RPG, is frankly quite boring in my opinion. I've had little experience playing JRPG's. Maybe, given more playing time, I would feel differently. I've only played the first chapter, and I was left with the feeling that I was doing nothing but clicking my way through a hackneyed story. Even the battling was out of my control. But it looks as if Fire Emblem will get the most votes.
Dunno if I'm dedicated enough to go much further with it.
It's been about a week since I initially posted this. Since then, I've played 5 chapters of the Sacred Stones. I'm liking it better than I thought I would. The game is well polished. My impression thus far is that the battling is easy. My units seem so much stronger than the enemy. My attacks rarely miss. The enemy's attacks often miss. Maybe things become more difficult later in the game. I've only played about 20 percent of it. The least attractive thing about this game is the story. I do rapid key presses in the textual parts and quickly skim read my way through. But overall, I'm happy with it
