Battletoads 

 

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.
