The quest begins... for El Viento
El Viento is game that deals with the gathering of mystical energies. I have played this game,several years ago and found it interesting enough, as I found most of Sega of America games. It kept me going while I was waiting for Shinobi. I tend to like any game with martial arts and a mystical background, since I'm a big fan of...

Mindless and forbidding
El Viento is the precursor of Earnest Evans, and sports similarities with that God-forsaken game in all areas. El Viento suffers from a variety of problems, which I will disect below: Concept - cliche and boring. You are the only one who can save the world and so you set off. Blah. All the areas are strangely similar in coloring (washed-out pastels), and you never get...

El Viento is game that deals with the gathering of mystical
energies. I have played this game,several years ago and found it interesting enough, as I found most of Sega of America games. It kept me going while I was waiting for Shinobi. I tend to like any game with martial arts and a mystical background, since I'm a big fan of Marvel Comics Dr. Strange,Master of the Mystic Arts. El Viento certainly fits the bill, if you like this kind of stuff...I highly recommend it.

This review is from: El Viento (Video Game)
El Viento is the precursor of Earnest Evans, and sports similarities with that God-forsaken game in all areas. El Viento suffers from a variety of problems, which I will disect below:Concept - cliche and boring. You are the only one who can save the world and so you set off. Blah. All the areas are strangely similar in coloring (washed-out pastels), and you never get any idea where you are or what you are doing there. The main heroine is so generic that you will have trouble telling her from the background. The "magic powers" you get as back-up weapons are pitifully absurd and generic (a bolt of fire, an arch of energy, a string of bubbles that roll on the floor...). Thank God they didn't equip her with the almighty lightning bolt... Control - horrible. Shaky, unresponsive, and otherwise malfunctional. Graphics - blah. Objects are frequently out of focus, proportion, color, etc. The game suffers from HORRENDOUS slowdown, which, in places, will prevent you from moving at all. Colors are drab, and very, very similar to each other. Balance - the game balances out lack of AI with hundreds upon hundreds of nausiatingly absurd enemies that cause such slowdown as if the game's designers were decidely trying to put the player to sleep. Frequently you won't be able to walk, or fire your weapon, and all the while the opposing terrors will nick away at your health, killing you almost by default. The only reason to buy this pathetic game would be for laughs, like renting Santa Claus Conquers the Martians or Robot Monster on video. |
