Game Review - originally written by (wraith)

Cosmo Police Galivan is simply the epitome of “badass”. In Jair's own words, “This game is a nifty platform RPG that's sort of like a cross between Metroid and Strider, but cooler.” In my own words, “Konami completely ripped off this game when they were making the gameplay engine for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.” Anyway, if those descriptions don't help you, the gist of the game is that you run around in a side-scrolling environemnt, kicking the crap out of bad guys with sword, and finding items so that you may advance farther — items that make you jump higher, better weapons, etc. All while you level up in a standard RPG expereince system. It's a really fun game, and you're really missing out if you don't find the ROM and try it out.

Colorful, fast paced, and vibrant. Doesn't do anything particularly unique, but you get whiffs of Contra here.
