[RSS Bot]

After an almost two-month-hiatus, I walk into Best Buy sensing nothing but coming out with Trioncube and Ghost Rider for GBA. So, the GBA 2007 blog is back! This game is rated T for Teen.

 

Ghost Rider is a guy who has a skeleton head thatÂ’s on fire. As if that wasnÂ’t scary enough, heÂ’s trapped in Hell. This basically takes on the form of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, (the Arcade game), with a little Roadblaster thrown in, with a level of Ghost Rider on his bike killing baddies that way.

 

Another game based on a movie I didnÂ’t watch (I sense a theme hereÂ…), but thereÂ’s at least a few difficulty modes for people who suck, but still love, video games (like myself). I found this game to be the best of the dying bunch so far (which isnÂ’t really saying much because Rayman got 4 and Arthur got a 2.) The graphics are above-par (with the bike level outstanding), the game design is good, and itÂ’s kinda actually fun, even for those who donÂ’t know anything about Ghost Rider (like myself.) So if youÂ’re in the mood for a beat-em-up side-scroller, Ghost Rider is your man of the month.

 

Graphics: - 7.0 - Very nice for a late-GBA game.

Game Design - 7.0 - Game design is neat, right shoulder button for jumping is kind of awkward (A is for punching), but fitting.

Fun - 5.0 - Thank goodness for three different difficulty modes, otherwise, this game would be hellish.

total: 6.0
