Final Zone II Part 1/5 -- TurboGrafx-CD
Original Air Date: August 18th, 2009
I always heard this game was funny, but I never played it myself even though I've had it for a good while now... but this game is FUNNY. This game is like "legendary" funny. Sure, you can play the Japanese version, but then you'd be playing an average action game with adequate acting. If I'm going to play an unremarkable game, it'd be great if it had something memorable, and this game delivers. I don't care what anyone says; It's totally worth it just for the acting alone.
It's pure, unadultered, bad voice acting at its finest...filled with man-on-man innuendo, "Oh, Oh", "fancy action", and all the terrible dialogue you can stand. After all, you gotta love a guy who is said to be manipulated by "those scums", LOL!
In fact, this game is so funny that I've decided to upload footage of the entire game because this game should not be forgotten. If you listen to the dialogue long enough, you might jizz in your pants. I hear that Last Alert is the worst (or rather, even worse), so I can't wait to play that.
Oh, but I digress. A little about the game here. It's a VERY average top-down shooter and sequel to the Final Zone released for the Sega Genesis / Megadrive and the original Final Zone Wolf for MSX. Compared to the original and Genesis game, the mood is very different and the game is noted for its (unintentional) comedic value. You get to play with various characters each with different weapons and attack patterns that shoot down seemingly endless hordes of enemies. I dislike the scrolling of the screen which can get you in a lot of trouble and the aiming. Why couldn't the bullets come from the middle of the character like so many unrealistic games before it? Oh well. It just takes a little getting used to. You can grab weapon refills and health and each level gets harder than the last.
This is my first time playing through the game, so I'll probably get shot a lot. Oh well. They don't make em' quite like they used to folks. Enjoy.
