Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
SCORE: 75
Before Sonic the Hedgehog Sega tried to go with a different mascot - Alex Kidd. I apologize to our wonderful readers for not addressing Alex Kidd sooner. There are some really neat things in Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle on the Genesis. The colors in Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle are bright and alive. The sounds are fun, fresh, and vibrant. There are numerous great characters and animals to interact with in Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle too.
The section that Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle is lacking is saves and difficulty. I died in the first and second level more times than I would like to recount. One little mistake and you have to start the entire level over. Thankfully the industry has moved pass this in most instances.
There is mild violence against characters who lose the rock paper scissors mini game, and against the animals we run across. Alex Kidd can knock round blocks into them. He can also kick and punch things in this home console video game. There is gambling involved with the rock paper scissors mini game too.
Alex Kidd in
the Enchanted Castle shows the potential to take on the Super Mario
Bros, but fell flat in too many areas. I hope Sega revisits this
franchise in the future.
