Battletoads
SCORE: 63
My dad told me about Battletoads back in
the day. So I thought it would be cool for us to play it. Noah (aka Teen
Gamer) also joined us in playing this game. Did you enjoy our Twitch
streams of this game? If you missed them please click here. Make sure to
follow us on Twitch. It costs nothing and you can chat with us while we
are playing games like Battletoads and more.
I am not very impressed with Battletoads personally. Battletoads is
overly difficult in obnoxious ways. Which would be fine if the game
worked well. Take the motorcycle racing level. It looks like we are
lined up going through a hole and we take a hit. One hit and it is go
back to the last continuation spot. Thankfully I noticed certain aspects
of Battletoads could be skipped. Like having to press the right button
to sled on the specific platforms.
The issues families can have with Battletoads are violence, offensive
language, crude humor, face palm humor, false gods, arrogance, and more.
Battletoads does have some funny parts. Some it felt forced to me, and
others made me wonder if the writers were trying to break the fourth
wall. Battletoads gets repetitive after awhile. We bash and crash
enemies in the Final Fight game play mechanic, solve some small puzzles,
and fight more guys.
Want to know a real bummer about Battletoads? It is a digital download
only. There are no physical copy versions of Battletoads on the Xbox One
or Personal Computer. Making matters worse Battletoads is 9.1 gigs in
terms of size. You may need to delete other games to have enough room
for Battletoads on your hard drive. Unless you use an external drive
like I do. That costs additional money of course.
Battletoads is bright and colorful with all kinds of complex controls. I
do not see many families or casual gamers playing Battletoads on the PC
or Xbox One. Battletoads is more for the hardcore gamers wanting a
challenge. I appreciate Rare bringing Battletoads back to the industry.
I feel the gaming industry has moved on from this kind of a video game
for the most part. I think Battletoads in VR would be really
interesting.
