Don't think there should be any scenario in which a regular user would have those options though. |

The prompt in that box is content-based. |

Don't think that the options shown above your own reviews said "You can click to modify this review or you can view your own review." before, did they? At least I only noticed it now, and it makes no sense to have that second option there, since it just points back to the same page. I mean, if you have the option to edit, it's already your own review, right? (Unless we're talking of admins who also have a review for said game, but in that case it's a bug that it shows up like that for regular users too.) |

Thank you. Vacuum Man was a robot I invented for the sake of argument, and how putting him in a graveyard-type level makes about as much sense as the levels in Mega 3 (Top Man inhabiting a level with giant cats, strangely high-tech backgrounds, and almost no tops or spinning objects). |

I agree with your review, and it's the slander I've been throwing at MM3 almost since I first played it way back when... but I don't remember a Vacuum Man being part of the robot roster. Otherwise, we're in complete agreement. I like the game, but I prefer both 2 and 4 to it. In particular, 4 really latched onto its level themes. And I liked some of the boss stages quite a lot. |

Title: Tropico 4: Collector's Bundle |
Dagnabbit! I almost had a spotless post. Thanks for catching that, Honestgamer. I'm inclined to agree...this game seemed to have been passed over by the people for whom it was intended. To me it seemed like a passion project by talented fans, not unlike mods for previous titles. Staying in the mindspace of players isn't easy. |

Title: Double Dragon Advance |

Thanks for reading, Venter! Of the three Chase H.Q. games I've played and reviewed, this was the one I was looking forward to the most. You'd think being on a more advanced console compared to the Sega Master System should provide it more opportunities, but this follow-up turned out shockingly minimalist in the worst way possible. You're definitely right in saying there's an art to making simple arcadey games genuinely fun on home consoles. |

This is an excellent review. I know there is a tendency to look down on console releases of the era, because they weren't as advanced (in a technical sense) as arcade games. But sometimes, the home port had more depth and lasting value. That could make one worth playing, and then playing again. Something like this sounds like it offers the worst of both worlds: the limited depth of an arcade coin muncher, combined with the limited presentation of a console port. I guess there was an art to good console takes on arcade gems, and not everyone was an artist... |

Nice review. And good to see you back. I had to do a double take when I saw the author's name. |
Good review! I saw one sentence with a typo: "The art stye it is a visual treat without being overwhelming." |
Thanks. |
Location: Submission Feedback > Cavalary's Tropico 3 Gold Edition review
Author: honestgamer Actions: Register for a free user account to post on the forums... |
I liked Tropico 3 (the vanilla version) a lot when I played it. Of course it reminds me a lot of SimCity, which I still prefer. A lot of the limitations are similar, as well. These games seem to have trouble with roads/pathfinding in general. I remember my massive city in the more recent SimCity burned to the ground because fire trucks couldn't navigate to get to fires... even though there were plenty of avenues available. Anyway, this was a nicely detailed review for a game a lot of people won't play anymore (as you allude to in your concluding paragraphs). But maybe they should still play it, because sometimes the simple pleasures are better. |

I have not played X6 since circa 2003, but of the four on PSX, X6 was probably my favorite. I liked the challenge and some of the gimmicks in levels. IIRC, you can also skip the dialogue, which was my chief issue with MMX5. |

The funny thing is I never expect to find new lows. I just progressively stumble upon them. In this case, I'd have to say I came close to reaching the bottom, but I still consider Distorted Reality a worse game. |

Credit where credit's due. You've played so many of these games that every time I think you've reached rock bottom in quality, something comes across your radar that 1-ups that previous low. With this being the latest such occurrence. |
