Quick Look | Maximo: Ghosts to Glory (2002) PlayStation 2 HD
6Wanted to like this CD PS2 game (yup , not all games where on DVD ... and you know what , it was a DRM in it self ... to this day they did not found a workaround to run Burned CDs on PS2 ... you had to re-pad those CD games to DVD format... but seeing those games had Timing triggers as a DRM None sane would play those CD to DVD games on PS2 ... well till a padder came that faked CD data allocation... the things you learn when you get a Cardboard box full of PS2 games , ey hahaha ) , but something in this was way off ... from physics (when in one section his sword can go tough rocks and objects ... in others walls screw you up , when you cannot use your sword) to controls , to a camera tilt... damn , that tilt made me kinda tilt my head funny ... you can say the overall camera controls are awful , laggy and not precise
Guess the N64 dev hell and re-porting this mess to PS2 showed its ugly face...
It has this Ghosts 'n Goblins 2 feel ,and it was , Capcom wanted to revive this old IP ... but build on sex humour that 13 year olds use .. it gave this game charm, that made you play it ... but then you try to play it... and are again faced by camera/controls/physic problems and you just ... skip it ...
Guess at 2001/2002 people standards where too low ... aaaand it became PS2 Greatest Hit , say what ??!!! Some say part 2 Maximo vs something was better ... more fine tuned
