This game really brings you back to the the first 3 games, more specifically the first SNES title. You’ll think it’s a remake, but in terms of story and characters, it’s not and it was done in a clever way.The game controls just as well as it always has, and the new Sprite art is absolutely beautiful! Some of the new renditions of the music is done great also. They gave the same love and care for this title as they did with their others. (Wild Guns/Ninja Saviors[Warriors for SNES]).The person saying you’ll take SEVERAL HOURS to be able to play 2 player? They didn’t play it..the game is beaten fairly easily within a little over an hour. Which brings me to my next point, the difficulty is far more balanced here then it’s predecessors. Unlimited continues as usual, but now we have check points. The check points make everything so much easier. I swear, everyone just doesn’t use the controls correctly for these games, so they don’t use their deflector to help not take damage from most projectiles. They just don’t do it lol I unlocked 2 player in a couple hours, but yeah it should’ve been at least in free play (even though it would make zero sense in the story being told)The one star censorship reviews? Get this. People are not buying a game for the NTSC region because there is an omission of CLEAVAGE in a game where you play as a CHILD. Yes. That’s literally the only censoring, that there’s a new playable character who wears an extra part of her to cover her cleavage. The font for the Japanese cover and the color is pure ugly, so I guess if we’re buying the game solely based on a single arbitrary visual, I’d go with the NTSC for the better cover as opposed to again, CLEAVAGE in a Pocky and Rocky game. I wouldn’t hold any water with those reviews.Give this game a try! Much easier than the earlier titles, and so much love and care went into it. I’ve also noticed there’s not really much of a different in easy mode aside from unlimited lives. Who plays a Pocky and Rocky game just to basically cheat?Welcome back Pocky and Rocky! 10/10
