Crazy Climber Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Decided to start a game of Actraiser this weekend, first time I have played it more than a few minutes probably since it came out. What a fun game, I forgot how cool Actraiser was. I love watching my town build up as the people learn new skills. The amount of action/strategy is just right I think. This one is one of my top ten for sure! What do you guys think of Actraiser? Also has anyone played part 2? I heard they got rid of the town scenes and made it just pure action That's too bad since those were some of the best scenes, oh well. Let me know what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 One of those games that should have been turned into a GBA cartridge, but now probably should go on the Nintendo DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Actraiser part 2 is complete b.s. Don't even bother trying it. Actraiser 1 is an old favorite.I played it to death though to the point there were no surprises and I knew how to manipulate the townspeople enough, etc. Great game for the time though.

I am surprised as well this never had a GBA release. They could ad some nice touch screen features for the DS though, the town scenes would be awesome.

That's really a shame, I guess I will take my time playing the first one then if there is no sequel to look forward too, bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impaler_26 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yep, Actraiser is nice but it gets pretty tough towards the end! Actraiser 2 doesn't have the strategy part anymore, it's only jump'n'run and hard as hell!! I got frustrated after playing it just a few minutes, the difficulty is insane!!!

+Random Terrain Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The only thing I like about Actraiser is the part with the little people. I don't like the game part of it. For Actraiser 2, they removed everything I liked about the original Actraiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Actraiser is one of my favourite SNES games of all time. I've played through it, start to finish, a total of four times, once in a single sitting, and have even beaten the professional mode you unlock after beating the game. I'm very surprised they didn't include the city-building aspect of the original in Actraiser 2. I think the reason we haven't seen any more sequels or remakes is because they took out that innovative aspect from the second game, and now it's probably largely overshadowed by SquareEnix's bigger franchises like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. But hey... if fans could get a sequel to NiGHTS made, sooner or later we might see Actraiser 3... and when that happens they had better bring back the city building! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
