Heavy Nova (Genesis)

Beautiful looking game ,horrible execution, and gameplay.

Check out the CGR review of it. Hes a Genesis fan but pulls no punches with whatever this thing is.

Worst then Cyborg Justice. If you can believe it.

If it's the same one someone linked to a long time ago, it also makes me seriously question how much he played it. He didn't even know about the simple way to regain attack energy when you got knocked down, and had two red bars or less.

I like how jesus arnold wrote that it was a below average shooter on the comments below the review

You can actually shoot missiles when you are standing far away from your opponent and with full energy. Maybe he got confused with that assumption because it was probably the only move he could do.

Maybe he got it confused with Heavy Unit, which is indeed an average at best shmup over all.

^This, LOL, if I could remove the comment I would

I've never even played this game before!

[Melf]

I'll remove it for you.

[jesus.arnold]

I'll remove it for you.

Thanks

Well he also probably only had the cart to go off of. A lot of the games he plays are donations, and naturally a lot of the things that get donated to him are cart only.

The other thing you have to keep in mind is that he is constantly reviewing games, and he probably doesn't want to spend a whole lot of time playing a game that he doesn't find very fun/appears to be broken/etc. I know that I'm not in the minority when I say that within 5 minutes of powering up this game, I could tell that there was nothing there for me.

... Not the best reviewing technique ... Quantity over quality ...

Yeah, I used to sub to CGR but his reviews were pretty watered down and unisteresting. There were very few games he didn't like and he even recommended some pretty bad games so I lost interest.

Lies! Lies and rumors!

I love the CGR reviews, yes the guy is a huge Genesis fan, but still, he's good at it. Reviews by any reviewer is usually always biased on their own personal opinion anyway. A good reviewer will always give out their honest opinion on a game, peripheral, etc. and never a "jump the bandwagon" review by giving a bad rating just because other reviewers give a bad rating, alot of game review sites/magazines did/do that practice and it's ridiculous.

He has both, in my opinion. Quality games (like TFIV, Revenge of Shinobi, or MUSHA for instance) get excellent, lengthy, multi-part video reviews that go over every last aspect of the game in a great amount of detail. Crap games like Heavy Nova get shit on because they don't deserve to be played on a console that has games like, say, the ones I listed above.

Then what he has, is inconsistancey. One game gets loads of attention, while another gets a brief overview. If you want to review, then the good and the bad should get equal amounts of attention. You don't just skim over the stuff you don't like... especially when what you put out is misinformed like that review he made for the game we're discussing in this thread.

You guys are just trying to defend your low standards

But seriously, the question stands: On a system with as many gems as the Genesis/Mega Drive does, how can one justify playing low-end garbage like Heavy Nova? Dude, where's my fun factor?
