[NES Review] Strider

- This is another review that I wrote a while ago shortly after I beat it -

Well, i have always been a fan of the Strider series, especially the Genesis Strider. But i have never heard of there being a Strider on the NES. So, naturally, as soon as i saw a copy at a flea market, I picked it up immediately!

When i started playing it, i wasn't sure what to do. I would just be in one zone, and i wouldn't know what to do from there. It wasn't like any other Strider game that i have played. Then i figured out that you were suppose to leave the level to read the discs, and from there, the game was pretty straight forward. All of the bosses are pretty easy to take down. The only real problem with the game would be the glitchy jumping. You will get a brain hemorrhage trying to jump on some moving platforms.... or even doing a wall jump.... that is until you learn the trick to doing wall jumps. BUT STILL, its a total pain.

Over all, the game is pretty fun, and there are some cool abilities that you get along the way. I found the game to be a little short, with maybe 5 hours of game play.... and now that i have played through it, i can probably get it done in around 1 hour. But, its a pretty cool game, And i recommend checking it out!

Difficulty: Easy
Time Spent: 5 hours
Score: 7/10 Good

Final Thoughts:
Even though the game isn't as solid as some of Capcoms other titles like Bionic Commando or Megaman, this game is still a good Capcom title. Its a fairly easy game that you can easily add to your list of games you beat, and its pretty fun to pick up and play through again. If you see this game for at most $5, get it. But don't spend much more then that on it... because your being ripped off if you are.
