GamersTemple: Nostalgia Review

GamersTemple writes: "I remember way, way back in the day; I received Cliffhanger on the Sega Genesis as a birthday present (nevermind I wasn't old enough or allowed to see the movie…). The game wasn't all that great, but it could have been fun for a while without one thing – the avalanche level. This tough-as-nails level required perfect timing, memorization and immense skill with less-than-perfect controls. It single-handedly destroyed the entire game. I eventually mastered it years later, but what stuck with me about the experience was wishing there was some kind of regulatory agency that prevented games with debilitating flaws from reaching store shelves. As I got older, I began to realize how impossible and ridiculous that would be, but it still burns every bit as badly as it did then to see a great game brought down by one horrible misstep. That's where the new, almost legendary DS RPG Nostalgia comes in." 52/100
