Game Vortex Review: Mega Man Starforce 2: Zerker X Ninja

Christin Deville reports:

''Megaman Starforce Zerker X Ninja 2 has a title that will probably lead to hundreds of disappointed kids. I say that because mom or dad will probably only catch one or two words out of that jumbled mess and end up bringing home something completely different. Either way, this is yet another of what seems to be a never-ending stream of Mega Man universes, and after experiencing this one, I can't tell you that the names mean much of anything.

The main character, Geo, lives in a pretty neat and clean futuristic setting. This bright and happy setting isn't the most graphically impressive thing that the DS has ever seen, but then it doesn't seem like this game was meant to break new ground. This just seems like your typical overhead view game with little sprites running around. The game does at least have large colorful anime portraits of the people you talk to, and you can usually see a larger portrait of them in the top screen where their personal star carrier information is displayed. You can think of star carriers as a kind of all-in-one smart phone device, but with futuristic holographic displays. Eh, that honestly makes it sound more exciting than it is in the game. Another area that does the job but doesn't impress is the battle graphics. Every battle puts you into a 3D grid arena. The system is good for clearly showing what's going on in the battle, but no one is going to look over your shoulder with envy.''

For me,as much as I enjoyed classics like RE series,Dino Crisis series,Dmc series,etc etc,I think Okami is the best game Capcom has ever produced,unfortunately it bombed,the team is gone and there won't be any sequel
*sigh*

swiftshot935550d ago

its not their fault. Capcom completely ditched them. They are now known as platinum games (making mad world, bayonetta etc..). Sega owns them now. And I agree that Okami is probably in my top 3 capcom games. Next to RE2 and RE4 of of course.

Sega doesn't own Platnium Games.

swiftshot935550d ago

and the best capcom characters are Leon Kennedy and Albert Wesker. Dont dispute the facts.

Megaman is the only franchise I like from Capcom. Hopefully, they make a new one soon.

i can understand how resident evil, street fighter, and megaman may be in their top franchises but i don't understand how devil may cry and phoenix wright could be included and not monster hunter. obviously an article written based on opinion and not facts.
