Hello everyone.
This weeks game was chosen by Tails1986. He chose Captain Havoc for the mega drive by Codemasters. Lets see what you think.

Just checked wikipedia and it says this was actually developed by Data East. So I guess Codemasters only published it in Europe.

3.

Really it's an alright game, it's a tough one and some of the traps on the level are incredibly annoying, espeically when you get hit and it takes forever for the animation to end.

So far I'm up to the second level, and god I don't know if I'll get there again the first boss is a total pain the the arse.

Would have been a 4 because despite it's difficulty it's a fun game... But it loses a point for having such a generic furry character in it.

The enemies and hazardous things in this game are at some points annoyingly hard, and yes, the first boss was indeed very difficult.

I also proceeded to the second stage and I'm stuck at the pond with those spikes of d00m on the ground. Meaning: You fall in, you are dead (and of course have to start over at the beginning of the level). It could use some savepoints.

It would get a 3, but due to the sheer cuteness of the enemies (ee, cats in pirate suits!) it recieves a 4.

I rated it 4. I gave it A play over the weekend got up to about level 6 I think. I think the graphics are very nice, The animation is good, there are some nice set pieces and although there pretty tricky I do like the bosses too. Just out of interest though, what is Captain Havoc? im not sure. I mean animal wise.

Level 6 already? :ohmy: You must be really good at this. I only recently reached the second boss.

Don't really know if I'm good at it, but I've done ok I guess. I just put a bit of time into it on Sunday. I just started a level where you're in a mountain and there are carvings on the wall of the first boss you fought.

I been playing it on easy and you can only go so far before it says try normal:(. The difficulty is the far side of challenging, although that may be because I've only got a keyboard. However I really like the animation and I am enjoying the game so far, I'll give it another good go on my day off.

Well I completed this last night. I enjoyed it but haven't swore at A game so much in ages. I got so stressed out on the last level and boss. Forgot how hard older games can be.

Defenently a 3. A totally ok game. Been playing this before and kind of like it. Animations and character graphics are good, while the backgrounds and levels can be a bit plain and boring. Too bad there's nothing original about it at all. It's just trying to be Sonic-ish. Controls are descent and music ok.

I've just rated it a solid 4/5, the animation was really impressive, and the game on the whole was enjoyable but fairly tough as it went on, unless you cheated and used save states, (we know who you are).

I got to level 3 without save stating... Then the game bloody reset itself. :(

Anyway the animations are pretty good, considering they seem to be ripped directly from sonic, seriously maybe it's just me but the animations of pretty much exact, except for the walking animation which is more similar to Bass in Megaman and Bass (Rockman and Forte).

Yeah they definitely used sonic as a template, the face was a blatant rip.

Ok, so I've tried it today and got hooked. It reminds me of Sparkster, for some reason and I know I love Sparkster. :)
It can get difficult in some parts but overall it's a great game. Nice choice, Tails_1986!
Final score: 4/5.

I'm glad to hear people are enjoying it. Still only completed easy mode and unfortunately the lack of time has hindered me playing it.
