Puzzle Game (1/13/02) |
|

Vid Grid
|
This is a close but Vid Grid
is the winner with Flip Out being a close second. Both games are
excellent but don't take my word for it.
Some of the comments:
Vid Grid "I found it easy to start...it got
harder...normally I stop playing when it's too hard, here I just
carried on trying harder. Amazing gameplay, decent resolution
videos, cheesy Van Halen video, it's all there.
Plus I only own this and Myst of the four, and it took about a
minute to see I wasn't gonna play Myst in a loooooong time
;)"
- Stone"
Flip Out "I choose 'Flip Out!' because it has the makings
of a very good puzzle game. Matching the tiles is not the only
thing you have to do...you have to learn the behavior of the
various aliens. And the amount of levels in this game is frickin'
HUGE! Not only do you flip tiles, you also flip pieces of Mount
Rushmore, and you also flip food items in the diner level. The
graphics in the game are simply gorgeous. The music is good and
not too annoying, and the sound FX sound pretty realistic
(applause when you win a level, groans when you lose a level, the
laugh of the scorekeeper, and the "YEE HAW!" of the
cowboy alien). Controls are tight and responsive. A winner!"

Strategy Game (4/16/01) |
|
Worms |
Worms is a winner by a landslide! It also is
in the running for the best Jaguar game ever. The second
place was a tie between Cannon Fodder and Attack of the Mutant
Penguins. Syndicate also had some support.
Some of the Comments:
Worms "It's the only action/strategy Jag game
I own:)"
"What's more fun than blowing up your buddy
in a good game of Worms? Gotta love it =) AMP came in a close
second for me."
"One of the best games for the Jaguar,
period, WORMS barely takes the top spot of the strategy heap on
Jaguar. One of the few Jaguar games that yells 'PARTY,' the unique
blend of strategic gameplay and 2D graphics, not to mention a
humor all its own, makes for a gaming experience rarely seen by
others in the genre."
"A very, very well done game. Too bad Atari
didn't make it an exclusive like they should've. Oh well, one can
dream..."
"Killer graphics, intense gameplay, and all
around the best game for the Jag!"
Attack of the Mutant Penguins "Original, fun,
great graphics, great game. Only thing it needs is some in game
music. Just edges out Cannon Fodder."
Cannon Fodder "Good graphics extremely
challenging and a hell of a lot of fun it kept my cussing for
hours."
"Cannon Fodder is just brilliant fun! It is
very hard as I like it. It's a great killing fest. It is very long
and original. The only problem is the bugs.... The game may crash
completely while on the between-levels screen. Still the game is a
winner. It even has a very funny intro song..."
Syndicate "No other of the listed games makes
you so addicted to play for hours and hours without stopping.
Attack of the Mutant Penguins is too short. Theme park doesn't let
you save. This two would have had a hard fight with syndicate, but
in the end for me syndicate wins..."

Fighting Game (11/25/00) |
|

Ultra Vortek
|
Ultra Vortek is the winner! Fight For Life
came in second and even Double Dragon V got a vote (that must have
been a joke!) Kasumi Ninja came in third while Primal Rage and
Bruce Lee also got a vote.
Some of the Comments:
Ultra Vortek "Hands down, the fighter to own
on the Jag. Great gameplay,
tight graphics and a rockin soundtrack. It's obvious Beyond Games
put a lot of work into this game."
"This game has good graphics, and cool
characters. I have chosen this game because Kasumi Ninja control
sucks, Fight for Life graphics are too plain, Primal Rage has
stupid characters, and Double Dragon 5 and Dragon (Bruce Lee)
looks like an old Commodore 64 game"
"Because all the rest of the fighting games
on the Jaguar suck royally though primal rage is a good conversion
of the arcade hit the arcade version was not that good anyways.
Kasumi Ninja is unplayable and so is Dragon when you play both of
these games it's like you are just watching and not in control.
Double Dragon is so bad it's embarrassing and the developers
should be dragged out of there homes and beaten with burning
pointy sticks. As for Fight for Life hmmm he could have finished
it before releasing it though it looks really nice and you can
zoom in and out of the action it just seems though your playing a
beta version of the game."
Fight For Life "A lot of people think it
isn't any good, but it has great high res texture mapping,
fantastic hard-driven' tunes, and although it is slightly
sluggish, it is smooth, true 3-d movement (not like Virtua Fighter
which looks 3d but moves two dimensionally) and a lot of great
combos, custom moves, and the ability to combine combos and custom
moves into near limitless chain moves. This game Was the first
true 3d-side stepping/dodging game. plus instant replay options
and moving or static camera, this game has it all. My one
complaint is poorly texture mapped rings (floors). Ultra Vortek is
a close second but 2d is to two dimensional in a 3d video
world."
"The fact you can acquire two moves from your
defeated opponent is ingenious. To this day I cannot find this
element on any other game on any other system."
Kasumi Ninja "The game is fast and fun! A
real winner!"
"Kasumi is the prettiest fighting games, the
fatalities are well done, and the background is the most
impressive."
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story "Most definitely
the best fighter for the jaguar (that's listed) is Dragon: The
Bruce Lee Story. It had an addictive rhythm to the game with nice
graphics. Kasumi Ninja had laughable characters and graphics.
Primal Rage was boring, Double Dragon is old, and Ultra Vortek was
just not very intriguing."

Driving Game (5-17-00) |
|

Power Drive Rally
|
Power Drive Rally wins by a nose, but that is
enough. Votes were also given for a close second Super
Burnout, and lastly, World Tour Racing. Not surprisingly no votes
were cast for Checkered Flag. Surprisingly no votes were cast for
Atari Karts.
Some of the comments:
Power Drive Rally "I chose Power Drive Rally
because its addicting. I find the game addicting because it has a
good track layout and the game has skill tests."
"I don't have atari karts yet...so pdr is the
best i've played... it's fun, though you can't play 2 players at
the same time..."
Super Burnout "1. Control 2. Excitement heart
pounding 3. Graphics."
"60 frames per second sonic speed that is
still the fastest motorcycle game to date. 2 player, no slowdown.
great gfx. lots of tracks. speed enducing hills. smooth, smooth,
smooth. It's motorcycles, what's not to love?"
World Tour Racing "It was a tough choice, but
WTR comes out on top for me because it's just a hellofa lot of fun
to play. It's the only Jag driving game that I've played all the
way through and enjoy playing it as much now as the first time I
played. Good control, decent graphics and a kickin soundtrack add
up to just plain fun."

Sports Game (2/15/00) |

NBA JAMS
&

Val D' Isere Skiing
|
What, a tie! Well that is the way it goes I
suppose. Votes were also given for Brutal Sports Football,
and International Sensible Soccer. Believe it or not even an
unreleased game, Brett Hull Hockey, ended up getting two votes.
Here are some of the comments submitted:
NBA Jams "4-player support, awesome graphics
and audio.", "not only the best sports game on the
Jaguar but the best port of NBA Jam TE on any system
including the Playstation port."
Val D' Isere Skiing "One word. Fun. This game
is just plain fun. It has some pretty smooth 2D graphics too. It
may not look as good as the new Snowboarding games but this one
isn't just all about doing tricks. It has some good replay value
as well. There are a lot of different courses and options."
Brett Hull Hockey "Because it is actually the
best of all the sports games. It is too bad the game never got
released. With all the options, camera angles, and very smart AI
it has the most replay value of any Jaguar sports game
period."
Brutal Sports Football "decapitation, replay
value"
International Sensible Soccer "I love footy
and this is the most accurate"
