3.0 out of 5 stars Engaging, colorful - what more could one ask for?, October 21, 2000

This review is from: Eternal Champions w/ASCII Controller (Video Game)

A crisis developed in the course of time, and the Eternal Champion summons warriors from various eras, each of whom met an untimely death; at his great martial compound, the Champion set off a grand tournament - the prize being sufficient foreknowledge to ward off the unjust death that claimed the victor's life. Among the warriors present are Slash - a vicious caveman, stoned for his progressive ideas; Shadow - a corporate assassin, who in turn was eliminated by a colleague; RAX - a kickboxer who underwent a painful cyber-transformation in order to participate in the high-paying matches, but was killed off in a fixed fight; Midknight - the unfortunate carrier of the secret of a hideous venom, himself one of its victims; Xavier - a great scientist who discovered the secret of free energy but was put to death for witchcraft; and many more.

For a Genesis fighting game, the graphics in Eternal Champions are some of the most colorful ever. Each of the eight combatants is almost half-a-screen tall, very detailed, and animated smoothly (slowdown is very infrequnt), and several backgrounds look stunning (especially Atlantis). The music is an entirely different case- several tracks are original, if a bit gritty, but a few are so rickety and annoying that it's hard to pay attention. One would do best not to look through the manual - all special moves are listed inside (and there's no combo system).

Nevertheless, Eternal Champions is a highly playable (and replayable) game, in standard one-player, two-player, or tournament mode for up to thirty two people. Likewise, there's a number of training modes - weakened opponents, tagret practice, rooms filled with projectiles and obstacles of your choice, etc. If you own a Genesis and need a light, but still fairly challenging game, Eternal Champtions may be for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fun racing game that will keep you busy for minutes!, September 5, 2002

This is the greatest horse racing game that you will ever play. Every year, I watch all the great horse racing events on TV. I decided that I wanted to get a good and realistic looking horse racing game. I went on EBAY and bought a Sega Genesis and then bought the game. Jee, I love it! SO realistic. Great Graphics and realistic gameplay make it awesome. You can race on 15 different tracks and compete in the Kentucky Derby! The only difference between real horseracing and this game is that in the game, instead of riding around on horses, you ride around on broom sticks. Makes the game even more realistic! I suggest this game to anybody. I give it 5 stars!
