2.0 out of 5 stars One of the Worst Games on the Sega CD, June 14, 2011

This review is from: Heart Of The Alien - Out Of This World Parts 1 & 2 (Sega CD) (Video Game)

One of the worst games on the Sega CD system and one of the few side scrolling action games that will make you puke for the system.

All kidding aside, this game(s) is a real chore, and not for everyone. This is loaded with one-hit kills, and what-do-I-do-now moments. It gives you absolutely zero hints or clues as to what to do, ever, so I couldn't imagine playing this without looking at a walkthrough. And even then, without a shred of doubt in my mind, you will die hundreds of times before you see an end - the controls are so touchy that they will get you killed at least half of the time.

I can understand how this game can be appealing to a very small and select crowd - god-like patience is a must with this game, but I can easily imagine most people absolutely hating this game (especially modern day gamers). If I can say one positive thing about the game, it's that it looks nice. I wouldn't call it pretty, but it is impressive for tech that is almost 20 years old.

If you want suggestions for Sega CD games with similar mechanics, but overall better gaming experiences, play "Flashback" instead, or even the original Prince of Persia. Those games are still fun today, and I would go as far to say that Flashback still looks pretty.
