8 Eyes

"It's not great, but fun to play none the less"

Since as far back as I can remember, I've always played only a few games for NES. I didn't play anything to strong, but the game I always asked my big brother to play with me was this game. 8 Eyes. I remember those days, early 90s, when I would be Cultrois and he'd be Orin. Sure, I loved being the bird back then, and he loved being the human. So we enjoyed it until...well... NES really just fell off the face of existance. It lost all it's sudden popularity. And for what? Just for SNES. Super Nintendo came along and separated the boys from the men. The strong from the weak, the tough from the girly, etc. And surely enough, NES just faded into the back and no one really heard from NES again. Until now. You see, with all of the new system advances such as Dreamcast, N64, Dolphin, Playstations 1 & 2, etc. So many new 64, 128 bit systems, people find to be just to much. So, they fall back and grab onto the normal NES for 8-Bit entertainment. Oops, did I drift off topic?

GAME PLAY - 6 (/10)
The story line or plot to this game is actually quite confusing. I sometimes just don't understand what I'm doing. Collection rubies to go...THE HOUSE OF RUTH?!? Who thought up that name? Yikes. Really scary.

GRAPHICS - 4 (/10)
So they aren't the best. Don't worry. It's not a big priority with this game. This game's graphics are kind of flat anyways.

ENJOYMENT - 10 (/10)
By far, this game is entertaining. I love playing this game. It never bores and the repeat value is amazing, at least to me. So, play this game because it's great and I just have to recommend it.

CLOSING COMMENTS
Rent or buy this game. Or in some cases, reach into the back of your closet, hook up the NES and enjoy.
