Paperboy 2

"Fun game, or not?"

This game is pretty fun when you first play it. The thing is, you get tired of it. This is mainly because of the horrible graphics, and the awful sound. Other than that, the gameplay is alright. There are no secret characters, secret routes, or nothing like that(but i wish there were.) This game was a remake of the original NES version. It has the same objective, basically. If they remade this game again on N64 or Gamecube, I bet it would be way better and way more roots, characters, and stuff like that. I like the end of each route where you can earn a lot of bonus points, and if you do good, you even get a free life. You are fired after losing 5 lifes. You have to do each street for a full week. Then, if you are successful, you get a new street.

Sound(5/10)
The sound for this game is awful, mainly because it plays the same tunes over and over. To tell the truth, it gives me a headache. The sound is one of the major problems with this game. The game would have been a lot better if there was better sound, or it wasn't so annoying.

Graphics(7/10)
The graphics aren't too great, but they are alright. They are still not as bad as some games, but still not as good as other games.

Gameplay(9/10)
The gameplay for this game is relitively good. It is fun for a while, until you either beat it, or get exasperated trying. Me, I get exasperated. I am not good at the game, but I have beaten it. If you play long enough, I bet you could too.

Replay Value(2/10)
This game is fun, but the replay value is not good. It gets really boring and you won't like it any more after a while. It's got the same boring streets and the same thing happens every time. That's why the replay value is so low.

Overall, this game is alright. I was playing it the other day, and it was soo boring, but when i first got it, it was really fun. Like I said before, its got a low replay value. So, have fun!!!

Rent or Buy?
I think you should consider buying, seeing as you can't really rent SNES video games anywhere no more. The price shouldn't be too much.
OVERALL SCORE=6/10
