NES Ghosts 'N Goblins Review

Let me say this, THIS GAME IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT GAMES ever made.I will also say that it is not one everyone will enjoy.I have incredible fun playing this game as well as its SNES version.Here is my review.

The story is that you are the valiant Sir Arthur, not sure if there is supposed to be a relation to King Arthur but my guess is no.Your girlfriend and you are on a picnic in the graveyard (as seen in the opening scene) dont ask why you picnic in the graveyard but you do.Then a big red monster with wings, Satan i guess, appears and kidnaps her.You must follow the beast through the land and save your girlfriend.

Let me say some of the negatives of the game.The biggest problem is that YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE GAME TWICE IN ORDER TO WIN.Yes that is true, you go through the game and when you get to the final boss you are sent back to the beginning to obtain an item you need to defeat Satan.There is no way to get the item on your first playthrough and the develpers thought this would be a wonderful idea, well since the game is so darn difficult it is not fun at all when it happens to you, especially when you think your almost done.Also you die in two hits and many areas have respawning monsters and difficult traps.Getting extra lives is rare and like I said before the game is incredibly hard!

Positives are that the gameplay is great.Your standard weapon is like a lance or sword that you throw, you get powerups to your weapon.Also the games level designs are rather fun and the levels are quite different for one another, at least for the NES days.The game's difficulty also is not the kind that comes from being frustrating, its a lot like how difficult Mario Brother games are, you will die and die constantly but you will continue playing as you pull your hair out.You also feel some accomplishment when you pass a level or boss.

Overall I feel this game is great for the hard core gamer or someone who enjoys a real challenge.Many casual gamers will be turned away by its difficulty but I feel it is a very fun game worth owning.
