5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Playstation Game Ever?, September 18, 2001

This review is from: Portal Runner (Video Game)

You bet it is! I loved playing this game. It was awesome! The gameplay was great. You could play as Vikki, herself, or Vikki with Leo, just Leo, or Vikki riding Leo. This game is full of non-stop adventure and action. It has a great story line that gets you involved. I found myself playing for at least 5 hours at a time. The music was good like everything else about this game. The levels were fun to play and my favorite world was The Prehistoric World. The dinosaurs were awesome. There is also a very cool two player mode. You can play in six diff. levels from the game. I heard other magazines gave this game really good reviews. I can believe it!! This PS2 game was well worth the money! Buy it now and you won't regret it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all types of gamers, September 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Portal Runner (Video Game)

Portal Runner puts you in the role of Vikki, a sexy reporter. When her arch nemesis nabs her beau, she teams up with a Lion to go kick some... You get the idea.

The gameplay is a nice mix of shooting, platforming and puzzle solving. A few levels into the game, you meet up with Leo the lion. He then follows you through the game, helping Vikki. In some levels you control Leo, some Vikki, some Vikki and Leo and some with Vikki riding Leo! There are 4 different skill settings, from Dream mode (SUPER easy) all the way up to Expert which is challenge enough for the hard core gamer. I always play on Expert, but most of my friends can only handle Medium.

The graphics are pretty good, the effects are very nice. The different worlds that Vikki travels through are presented very well through FMVs in between levels. There are tons of secrets in each of the 20 levels, and even six different multiplayer levels!

PSE2 gave this a 97% and I agree. This is a pretty cool game.

5.0 out of 5 stars When was the last time a game made you smile?, September 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Portal Runner (Video Game)

For me, it was earlier this evening when I first played Portal Runner. My money was not wasted on this game. It is a spinoff of the popular ARMY MEN series by 3DO.
I believe that a good game REQUIRES interesting characters. Look at Capcom's great games -Streetfighter, Res Evil, Megaman, and their other series- full of interesting characters. This game too has interesting and entertaining characters. You play as Vikki, who occasionally gives verbal feedback (not unlike Bruce Willis in Apocalypse PSX) and assists you with the puzzles (at least in Dream mode). It's easy enough for all ages and just as fun. I'm 26 and I love this game.
I told you about the characters already, and the graphics are just as intriguing. The music fits the setting perfectly. This game is just plain fun. You will not be disappointed!
