Lagoon

"NOT The Blue Lagoon, just....Lagoon!"

If you ask me when I'm floating around cyber space where I bought this game, I will respond to you with one answer. ''No Clue''. I cannot remember where I purchased this game. It may have been from a used store, but I just don't think so. Where or where?

GRAPHICS - 6 (/10)
Yeah, so they ain't perfect. Who cares? Not me. I'm not the spiritual type who say, ''To fully play the game, you must become one with the game''. The graphics are one of the biggest factors to making a game, but not the biggest. They aren't that good. The monsters are kind of flat, they are more 2D than any other D. But there's just something about this game, I don't know what.

GAME PLAY - 7 (/10)
It's not your ordinary RPG. The monsters run wild and a full battle screen is a never. Your normal paused menu doesn't have 6-10 options, just 4. Item, Magic, Equip and Save. You only get 5 of each thing. 5 swords, 5 armors, 5 magics, 5 rings, etc. But as the story goes, your from Atland trying to rival up with Thor. Your basic RPG style? You and a rival? Bring back any memories...

ENJOYMENT - 8 (/10)
Yes, many people will tell me I'm a lying idiot for saying this, but this game is enjoyable. It's fun to play, and a game you will play repeatedly. My one problem, your sword is way to short. You can only hit monsters about half an inch away from you.

OVERALL COMMENTS
The problem with SNES games is that it's hard to find a place to rent them. My local BlockBuster doesn't have any SNES or Genesis. So, if your lucky enough to have a place to rent SNES, try and use either a free coupon or try and sweet talk the clerk. Because if you don't like this game after you waste 5 bucks on it, or worse, 30 bucks on it, you'll feel like an idiot.
