Chewing Gum For The Mind

After reading a few hefty literary works, you need to read some fun trash like Joe R. Lansdale. It's the same with video games. After playing a few RPG's you need some fun trash like Cannon Spike. This mindless shooter is a purely visceral experience, you run around shooting and beating the living daylights out of anything that moves. Even though you get the nagging feeling you've played this game before, the slick graphics and snazzy lighting effects disguise Cannon Spike's "Smash TV" core well. At any rate, a little depth could have helped this game a lot.

Sometimes 3D and old school just doesn't mix !

I have seen numerous previews in the past about Cannon Spike for the Sega Dreamcast. While taking a look at the screen shots, I always imagined how much fun it would be when it releases. When it finally released, I kept missing my chances of getting the game until finally I got it for myself. When I played it, I was into the shooting action and the seamless 3D graphics and animation, and then it happened. After shooting a few guys down, I have already found myself fighting the boss of the stage...and the boss was too easy. All you had to do was give it a few close range heavy attacks and a few shots and the boss is dead. Now that is sad. The levels are just too short. I WANTED MORE !!!!! I don't care if there's 10 levels. They're just too darn short ! The more you play through each level, the more disgusted you'll become. The music to this game is just plain repetitive. Some of them sound like they've been pulled off a 16-bit game or something. The voice acting is horrible. Believe me, even Japanese voice actors have their moments of crappiness. Mega Man's voice is great, but everyone elses voice sounded too stupid. And another weird element to this game are the jet powered skates. Huh ? Now this is getting weirder and weirder each time I play. Who whould use heavy artillery with some blades on ? That's what I want to know ! Here's a thought, use your shoes, boots, or whatever the heck you wear everyday. On the bright side, the graphics are cool. Seeing Mega Man dominate in full 128-bit technology was a blast, including the characters like Cammy, Arthur, Simone, B.B. Hood, and Shiba. The character's special abilities look great. They almost look like one of those beams from Dragon Ball Z. The controls are similiar to that of various old school shooters like Raiden, 1941, Gunbird, and more. Still, Cannon Spike wasn't my kind of cup of tea that I want to drink every single day, but that doesn't mean you won't like the game. If you're still into old school games, I suggest you get Cannon Spike. I may have traded it in for another game, but I'm glad that Cannon Spike brought me back to the old days when SNES and Genesis were still cool.

Gets boring fast

Graphics and sound are good, but gameplay is so dull. I actually enjoy mindless shoot-em-up action but this one is just mindless without being any fun. It's not a bad game, but it's not good either.

CAPCOM DOES IT AGAIN
