Enjoyed the story, especially liked that the plot isn't what I thought it was. Characters were well written and I genuinely enjoyed exploring Salem and getting all the collectibles. The cool thing about playing it again and knowing what is going on is that the cut scenes and some of the character interactions take on a whole new meaning.

Huge improvement over Empire though the campaign felt rushed. The battles are amazing! I love the intro.

Just as good as I remember. The HD update makes it look really sharp. Runs super smooth compared to my childhood. Controls are still solid. I liked the ending. A bit of a gauntlet and since the game is over 25 years old, I already knew how to beat Shub-Niggurath.

The graphics are nicely upscaled and the map looks great. My only gripe is that the UI is a bit clunky. Other than that it is pretty much exactly like I remember (though much more stable than the original). Highly recommend especially since they included merchants from Medieval 2. Played the original campaign as Bruti and Barbarian Invasion as Vandals.

Really fun to play. I was confused by the controls and the different "stances" but once I got through the learning curve I had a ton of fun. Looking forward to replaying on a harder difficulty.

Old school run and gun fun. Sumos, Robo Samurai's and Sailor Moon. Cool set pieces but final boss in the final episode is too easy. Who want some Wang!

Amazing game. I have spent countless hours in the world with and without mods. I love this world. Oblivion will always hold a special place in my heart but Skyrim has offered so much.

Good DLC. Story was interesting. Have only sided with Dawnguard but still enjoyed it. Serena is a good companion.

Love the game ever since I played when it first came out on the N64.

I can't believe I defended this game back in 2002. As a platformer maybe I can give it a 3 out of 5 but as a Mario game, it is a 2 out of 5. The controls are not as tight as they should be. Mario is constantly slipping around, hard to make him look straight. It controls worse in the stages without Fludd. Fludd is annoying the entire game, some moves are hidden and not explained in game or manual. Jump sometimes does not work. Visual look is nice and bosses look nice but the controls and repetition of stars, the fact that you can't approach stars in any order really bring this game down, but mainly, the poor controls. No desire to get all the stars.

Lost of fun. A strategy puzzle game. It's been a while since I've been sucked into a game. Hope they release more maps or allow people to create their own.

Loved it, on same level as Gameboy color version I first played. The art style, the adventure and the story with its slight melancholic undertone.

Bravo! It has been a long time since I played a shooter on a console. The campaign is amazing! Never gets dull. I played on hard my first time through and don't regret it though the fight with Viper was a pain.

Very good strategy RPG. I really enjoyed the systems and the fact that your decisions actually matter. Not a big fan of the ending I got but I'm looking forward to new game+. They set it up nicely where you keep your troops and items and levels. The story is ok but there is too much of it. I think 30 hours of the 78 I played were story.

Very good graphics, story, voice acting and end to the Nathan Drake saga. I didn't like the sword fight at the end bit other than that a fantastic game.
