Wiazards & Warriors NES Worlds Of Power story book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wizards & Warriors (Worlds of Power #5) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is so fun and easy to read. It's a children's book but it uses alot of adult reading level wording. Don't let it fool you, it's a load of fun if you're already familiar with the game itself. Sure it's a little dated in certain things that went with it's era of release, being 1990, but that doesn't sum it up nor even take away from it.
Despite the author having no connection to Acclaim or Nintendo, nor even Rare Coin ltd, this book sorta adds a bit of character from the author's point of view like a separate version, and somewhat dead-on theme straight from the book itself. Try to image this book going not just along with visuals taken from the video game itself, but coming from the comical TV commercials from the game's advertisements, especially the game's sequels being "Iron Sword" and "Kuros: Visions Of Power" if any. Look them up on Youtube and you might get what I mean. If all else fails, you'll at least get a kick out of reading this book in a British accent whenever the character Kuros speaks his lines! I wont ruin the storyline for you, nor will I rate this book in comparison to anything else I've read. But it's just plain fun, being a kid and having some control over the game's storyline in the book itself is part of the theme. This isn't a "Choose Your Own Adventure" type of book, so don't worry about short endings or too many variables that make the book seem cheap. Just rely on the "anything goes" mentality. Just a little background on the first game itself, it was created by Rare Coin Ltd which was made in England or UK, unlike the sequels. I don't know too much about the company but try not to think about all the drama in the business world and just let go, keep an optimistic point of view, give respect for there even being a game series such as these, let alone a book. What baffles me is that the "Worlds Of Power" books were only written for a few NES games, why did they pick this one? Not that I'm complaining! It's my favorite game! But not everyone agrees with the same likes. Give it a shot! As for collector's value, it doesn't look like this book is rare. Nor does it look like it'd be going up in price anytime soon. Don't rush on it, share the wealth with those who didn't get a chance to get themselves a copy when they first came out. Sometimes some of our parents wouldn't even let us own the game itself, it was expensive and had questionable themes of the occult somewhat. But all that depends on what type of parents you had. Buy it as a gift and give one to a friend, make sure they read it! I'll probably upload an audio-book version for those less fortunate non-readers out there that don't exorcise that part of the brain to concentrate on reading. Gotta have some british accent voice for Kuros, some dark dismal voice to play the voice of Malkil, and some younger person to play the voice of the main character. Who knows! The point being, preserve this book and share it, make it public so that anyone can access it.

Good Short Fantasy,

This review is from: Wizards & Warriors (Worlds of Power #5) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a good story if you're into fantasy and want a quick read. It is also a good story for pre-teen or early teen readers.
Unlike most other Worlds of Power Stories, this story does not revolve solely around the re-telling of a video game story. Instead, it involves a young boy who finds himself transported into the magical world of Wizards and Warriors. While in this world, the kid (who's name escapes me) and the Knight Kyros must fight their way through several locations mentioned in the game such as the forest, the blue caves, and lava pits to combat the evil Wizard Malkyl. The boy cannot be seen by any of the monsters from this world and most of the fighting is left up to Kyros. The boy does, however, prove himself to be useful throughout the quest. The whole book can be read in about three hours even if you're a slow reader and is written on the sixth grade level. It can be fun at times and anyone who's fantasized about being in their favorite video games could relate.

Surprisingly Good,

This review is from: Wizards & Warriors (Worlds of Power #5) (Mass Market Paperback)
For a book based off of a video game, it's an amazing book! This was the first fantasy book, I've ever read. When I first got it, I read it three times over. It really sweeps you away--especially if you are a daydreaming kid in elementary school!
