Maximo: Ghosts to Glory for PlayStation 2

Pros: Smooth graphics, decent sound and graphics, the boxers
Cons: Little variety

I had heard about Maximo nearly a year ago, and I was practically salivating at the chance to play it. Billed as the successor to Capcom's classic side scroller "Ghouls and Ghosts" (or "Ghosts and Goblins," depending on where you first saw it), I had...

Pros: Graphics are nice, mindless action.
Cons: Shallow gameplay, the inordinate amount of jumping around.

Prior to this game's release Capcom did something that I don't understand, and at face value, is probably one of the stupidest things ever done in the history of a game's release.

They released it for rental 1 week before they launched it for...

Pros: Nice revival of Platformer games, seeing Maximo in boxers is great
Cons: Graphics, Sound, Camera Angles, Repetitive, Pretty Unforgiving

Granted, a game that has the title Maximo suggests certain things. Hell, the title itself means "the most" which in turn could be translated in one's mind to mean "the greatest", but don't judge all games by their covers. Maximo is a bit of...

Pros: Nice graphics
Cons: Crappy controls, save game feature stinks, too frustrating overall

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory is an updated version of the popular Ghosts ‘n Goblins games for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). I didn’t realize this at first, but you will immediately recognize the lead character if you’ve ever played the NES games....

Pros: Simple, fun, sharp looking.
Cons: Some control glitches, annoying save setup, unforgiving deaths.

Quick Facts: Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, for Playstation 2. Action/Adventure/Platform. About $5 at the time of this writing, 1 player. Released by Capcom in Feb 2002, rated Teen. Full Review: Retro gaming has been popular ...

Pros: Good control, sound, characters, game play.
Cons: Camera angles!!!

Our story begins with brave Maximo returning from a war. To his surprise, when he returns he notices his kingdom is not the way he remembered. Skeletons, zombies, and other undead freaks are now roaming his land. To make matters worst, Achille has...

Pros: Combat modes, animation
Cons: Save feature, or essential lack thereof. Overly repetitive levels that lack any real theme.

I am an extremly picky game buyer. I thought that
maybe I was just way outside the demographics of most
gamers, but evidently, I'm not.

So, I'm mid 40's, middle management, married with kids
and I don't have a lot of time...

Pros: Great gameplay, classic storyline, wonderful sound and graphics
Cons: Camera can be a bit annoying at times. It's a tough game!

Don't you just love it when you start to realize you're getting older and you long for the days of yore when video games were simpler and had a common theme and just as you get ready to give up hope that you can never relive those days using the fun new...

Pros: Just about everything
Cons: Those damn birds!!!!!

Oh my God, this game rocks in so many ways! If you like 3rd person adventure games like Darkcloud (PS2) or Midevil (PSone) then this is a great game for you. Maximo is built on the Ghouls & Ghost engine, which means that it has traits of the old Ghoul ...

Pros: Great variety in abilities.
Cons: Hard to totally master if you are impatient.

Maximo is a good game to buy if you want a game that will keep you busy for hours. The game is pretty difficult to beat, but what it lacks in easiness it makes up for in fun. You can gain over 20 powers for Maximo, and play more than 30 levels. This is a must play game.

I am hooked on this game. I have been playing it for over a month. It is great that it has so many levels. The only that is really hard is making some of the jumps. Some are next to impossible. I have been stuck on level 25 for a few days because I haven't been able to make one of the jumps. I continually get killed and have to start over again.
