Beyond Oasis

"two words: THE BEST"

Gameplay:
In this department Beyond Oasis is simply amazing. From the huge areas to the tight control, this game shines in all aspects of gameplay. There is a wide variety of bad guys and all of them are extremely well designed. The challenge of the game is the perfect level for anyone who is just beginning to play action RPGs to the master gamer due to the HUGE amount of hidden areas, items, mini-games, etc. With time and patience, this game can be beaten by most.
Gameplay rating:11/10!

Graphics:
Is this a GENESIS game?!! All of the characters are huge. The color is amazingly bright. The bosses are a sight to behold, and each is unique. The motion in all smooth and extremely well animated. On the ''big'' screen- as well as on the Nomad- Beyond Oasis shines.
Graphics rating: 10/10

Sound:
Good music. Good sound. Nothing spectacular...for any other 16-bit console; but for the horrible sound chip of the Genesis, I'll give it a...
Sound rating: 9/10

Story:
You are prince Ali. One day, while searching through some ruins, you discover a gold armlet, the key to amazing powers. You find out that there is another armlet- a silver one- which is possessed by an evil sorcerer. And so, amazingly enough, you decide (yawn) to stop him from conquering the world (or at least the land of Oasis.)
Not much of a story, but then again who cares.
Story rating: 7/10

Replayability:
Beyond Oasis took a long time to complete, but the HUGE amount of secrets will keep you coming back for more- again, and again, and again................and again.
Replay rating:10/10

Buy or rent:
Buy this game you will, my son. I bought it for ten dollars and it was worth every cent. Beyond Oasis is a masterpiece, and its value is infinite...well almost.
