5.0 out of 5 stars MAIDEN--Legends of metal, New kings of video games, January 15, 2000

By 

Chris Larcen (The Silent Planet) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ed Hunter (Audio CD)

This was a great move by the best metal band in the world. The game is my new favorite video game. It is one of the few games that is so great, that just the opening sequence blows your mind. The option to choose your choice of tracks for the levels is cool to. The control is good. My first concern was "Is the control with the mouse going to be bad"? No, the control is very good even with the mouse. The levels are great, very detailed, long, and fairly hard. The whole concept of the game is great. This videogame is everything a video game should be. The songs on the discs are good too. Includes most of my favorites. Although I do wish "flight of Icarus" and "Can I Play With Madness" were on there. I wish there was more stuff off of "Seventh son of a Seventh son", but I guess that's just my opinion because the songs on there were voted in that order to be Maiden's top 20 best songs by fans over the internet so all in all it is probably the closest you could ever get to a true Greatest Hits. The new version of "Wrathchild " is awesome. Great to hear Bruce back with the boys. "Ed Hunter" is perfect and I strongly recomend it to anyone. Maiden fans will love it. But even if you have never heard Maiden before, you will still not regret getting this. Playing the game will get you into the music, listening to the music, will get you into the game. Do yourself a favor and go get "Ed Hunter" now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Eddide on the Run, November 16, 2003

By 

Johny Bottom "Insane and lonely guitarist" (Jacksonville, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ed Hunter (Audio CD)

These are the top songs as voted by fans on the official Iron Maiden webpage. I find it a little hard to believe that "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" did not find it's way here. I guess Maiden fans have varying tastes.

Now for the game, which is the reason most people buy this. Why else would you buy it? Most Maiden fans have these songs from the original albums, plus Maiden is getting up there with KISS and Ozzy Osbourne in the race of most "greatest hits" albums.

The game itself is fun, and not too difficult. It's a first person shoot 'em up, but unlike Doom, you only control the gun site. All walking and turning is done for you. On to the levels.

The Underground - This is a cool level. You walk down 22 Acacia Avenue with a detour through the subway. It's fun to shoot the punks with the green mohawks. Espescially when they throw bottles, bricks, and axes at you.

The Asylum - Very cool and funny. You have to give the patients a head shot or they'll continue to throw deadly teddy bears at you.

Hell - This is a stage I just want to pass. It gets a little annoying shooting the flying devil over and over again. This is my least favorite stage. It just seems to take forever.

The grave yard - With shot gun in hand you blast the zombies who throw intestines and brains at you

Egyptian Crypt - Pretty cool. The mummies get up after being shot once, so you got a lot of mouse clicking to do on this one. Head shots make their heads fly off. Get the big gun, because the 9 mil will take all day.

The future - Right off the album cover of 'Somewhere in Time' we walk through a futuristic society, shooting soldiers and green women with great bodies. ...

The finale - Ok here we shoot derelicts and skinless humans. Pass them all and you encounter the four horsemen of the apocolypse.

The ending - An experienced player can complete this game in an hour and a half or so. It is the biggest letdown of the game to win. All you get is Eddide coming out of the wall with his 'Somewhere in Time' getup. He throws a ball at you and you watch yourself going backwards throw the game until you get to the very beginning where you started. That's it! Just add your initials. You get more of a story when you die and you're on the cover of the newspaper. I would play this game a lot more if the ending wasn't such a disappointment.

PS - Watch in the game where you get to shoot the heads of band members. They are worth an extra continue.
