HonestGamers - JoeTheDestroyer's Hydlide review

Gary Hartley Staff Feb 7, 2011

I'm not sure how a game this bad got two follow-on titles in two different generations of console. It's a mystery!

For us. For them. For you.

Ha, the graphics may be simplistic, but after seeing images of Virtual Hydlide, or worse, see it in motion, you'll think this game is a work of art.

I heard spaceshit noises.

I have not played the other Hydlide games, but to be honest I have been curious about them. I think I've seen some screen shots of Virtual Hydlide, and I only shutter to think what playing it would be like. The most terrifying thought is that there are something like 5 Hydlide games in all. Why anyone thought it deserved even one sequel of any kind is beyond me. As EmP said, it's a mystery.

EDIT:
I've played the MSX versions of the second and third games. They are awful, but not nearly as bad as the original.
