The tragic tale of a basement-dweller who tragically had to go outside.

THE GOOD:
Huh? (looks for "good" in this "game")
Well..OK graphics and sound

THE BAD:
What a joke.
Infuriating gameplay.
What a ripoff.
Solar sensor does not always work very well.
A hazard to your health.

SUMMARY:
I consider myself very picky when it comes to grading and reviewing games. I only have a few games that I consider perfect. I just can't help noticing a stray jagged edge, a gameplay bug here or there, or any other little, annoying thing in any other games. I decided to buy this game, due to the great reviews, but I came to one conclusion.

"This is the worst game ever."

The game starts off simple enough. A cheesy, but dark, voice that tells the story. You are this kid who must vanquish an evil menace.

OOOOOHHHHHHH! Scary.....well not really.

I couldn't help but noticing the plot is seriously stolen from countless, better games, like Legend of Zelda, The Final Fantasy Series, and the Mario games. But forget about that for a second. To defeat enemies, you must use the power of our Sun to power up your solar gun. There is a sun sensor built right into the game cartridge.

You just killed a decent game.

Well, after a breif tutorial, I begin playing. I found out that the game doesn't take artificial sunlight, so I play by a sunlit window, but I could barly get the energy meter to move. So I am forced to play OUTSIDE in the blistering heat. Now I get the energy meter to shoot right up, then back down. Then the meter bugs out, soaring up and down while I'm getting BLINDED by the Sun's reflection off the GBA screen. Then I get a sunburn, and the sun hides behind a cloud. I turn the game off.

The main problem here is the game is controlled by a force we have no control over: weather. If you live in a poorly lit area, forget about this game. I mean, games are meant to be played in any region of the world. The end result is akin to playing a GCN game that requires rainwater in the Sahara.

What really brings this game down is the countless hazards that lie in here.

1. Temporary Blindness
2. Sunburn
3. Rash
4. Skin Cancer?!
5. Hunger
6. Thirst

Thankfully, I only played the game once.

Tragic.

The best part is that he [OVERHEAT]ed himself over, because he clearly just hammered A through the sensor calibration.

What's even more hilarious is that he says in his profile that any game that uses a peripheral is great, but here he is whining about having to go outside. Also you don't see any mention of anything about the gameplay, just that he was too stupid to calibrate the sensor.

I can't tell if this bashy guy is serious or not, considering it's a gamefaqs board. Scary.

He was posting it from somewhere else. This is not Janyel's actual opinion.
