Goemon's Great Adventure

"Great adventure is really fun and good, but the first mystical ninja was a bit better than this one I think."

The second goemon game for the Nintendo 64. It's great and really cool, but the first one seems to be a bit better. I just don't like the idea that it's a side scroller game. It could of been better I think. It's still really fun though. It has all of the same characters that were in the mystical ninja game. It has lots of stages that are very fun. The game still has a very funny sense of humor. I think great adventure is a very fun game. I just wish it was sort of like a rpg. That's why I love the first mysitcal ninja more, because it was a rpg game. Great adventure is still fun and never gets boring though.

The graphics are GREAT!! Each level is designed very well and is very colorful. Mystical ninja is better, but this one has waaaaay better graphics than mystical ninja. There very good and cheery. The graphics are great in the game.

Part: Sound and music

I'm very, very disappointed with the graphics. WHAT HAPPEN!!! There's no japannese singing songs or anything like that. In the first one, it was cool. I loved all of the japannese lyrics for that one. This doesn't have any songs like that! The songs were my favorite part about goemon games. This got a 7.2 because of that. Besides that, the music is good. I just wish there were japannese songs in it. There's jappanese tunes but not songs! The sound is good. I really don't see a difference between great adventure and mystical ninja. The sound for those games sound kind of like the same almost. Anyways the sound and music get only a 7.2 I'm very disappointed about that. If they had japannese songs I would of given it a 9, but it didn't.

The game play is good. It takes a long time to beat great adventure. I think the game should have a little bit more of game play though. Like after you beat the whole game. Even the part after you got 44 passes. There should be more I think. Like you get to go to a new stage that is in the clouds and wiseman is up there going crazy and you must stop him. Something like that would be cool, because I wanted more game play for this game. I remember the first boss in mystical ninja took so many hits to defeat. It's the same with this one too. The bosses take a long time to kill. I just wanted the game play to be a bit longer, but it's okay.

Part: difficulty

Great adventure is hard. The bosses are very difficult to beat and very challenging. The levels are tough too. I hate it how there is a night mode in this game. When all of the ghost comes out. It's really hard. This game is very difficult.

Hmmm, you might want to play this game over again. I really wouldn't want to. The only things I know you would do when you beat this game would be just playing the stages over again. That's all, oh yeah, and multi player. Nothing else.

Part: Multi player

The multi player is fun! I think it's cool and all, but there is a secret to unlock 4 players. I think it's very dumb how they do that. they shouldn't really do that I think. It makes me mad when I haven't know how to do that yet and all of my friends come over and they cry because they can't play. Then I find out the secret. All games shouldn't have secrets like that. Anyways the multi player is fun.

Part: Play control

The play control is fine. It doesn't bother me at all. I like it how goemon can do a double jump in this game. The play control is just like mystical ninja almost, except it has a few changes in it.

This game is sooo fun! It has little mini games like the first one except more and even better. Like lighting fire works and playing hide and go seek. This is why I love goemon games so much. Seriously! The mini games are fun and so are all of the levels. Great adventure is a fun game.

OVERALL
Everything got a good rating except the sound and music. Well if it got a 8/10, I rate this game good.

BUY OR RENT
You will not beat this game in one rental so buy it. It's very, very, very fun!

Last words
The second goemon game for the nintendo 64. This game is a blast. I love it and I know you will too. Get this game now!!!
