National Academy of Video Game Testers and Reviewers Corp. bring you video of games from the 90's. Includes some really bad commentary. My favorite so far (and one of the only vids I've seen) was for Killer Instinct for SNES:
"Sabrewulf and TJ Combo are the easiest characters to use in the game because their moves don't use circular motions. They primarily use the left and right pad directions. If this game were made into the movie, the music would be well suited for the fight scenes. The boss, a two-headed creature named Eyedol, appears only at difficultylevels 2 and up. So far, we've beaten it at level 2 and received a humiliating message!"

Good place to kill some time.

Lol @ the N64 Launch Titles one.

"Super Mario 64 features Toy Story quality graphics."

...seriously.

[versus addict]

Nice. I like the Goldeneye commentary....

"...don't use the sniper rifle for aiming at objects...."

better

"....in fact, beating the game IS impossible on the higher difficulty levels. Do yourself a favor, don't even try them...."

best

"...you'll surely want to change the default control to make the game handle like Turok: Dinosaur Hunter..."

I like how they say Breath of Fire 3 is better then FFVII, lol. BoF3 was a little on the boreing side and they desert crap was annoying.

Castlevania SON: First thing said "Although the game was a disappointment"

[complexz]

lol@ street fighter alpha 2 video.

sodom= robot freak
dhalsim = looks nothing like his movie counterpart

plus you get to play as charlie before he gets turned into blanka!

strong legs FTW

"Street Fighter EX plus alpha is the greatest Street Fighter game ever made"

:rofl:

[Team Cable]

Good way to kill time.

But for the most part the guys seem like a bunch of jackoffs. Hating on Final Fantasy VII, Star Fox 64 and Symphony of the Night?!

What the fuck were these guys thinking?

Man, this is too much.

"Akuma, who looks like a cross between a ninja and a neanderthal man"

"Fighters with powerful legs are generally the best fighters in the game"

I find it hilarious how they've reviewed many fighting games but haven't gotten the concepts of the games down past sweeping. Also, complaints about no FMV sequences and great endings = lol.

That can actually be applied to all the reviews though and its hilarious. Who the hell expects an actual ending from Mario Kart?

Also, claiming SotN as a disappointment = wtf, that was like one of the best games of the PS1 era.

[eddymasta]

Most horrible reviews ever? I'd have to say yes

I got a good laugh out of the SSF2 review... Go figure.

What the hell is a Hyruken fireball?

[Stevie White]

How could someone devote so much time to video games, yet know nothing about them?

This was a rebuttal to angry viewers cause they bashed FF7. You also get to see what the guy whos reviewing the games looks like... A 50-60 year old guy who should probably have no say in how good or bad a game is.

oh yeah, I got another lol out of them saying That theres too much gameplay in between non-playable cinematics... Coulda sworn thats what you do in a video game, but I could be wrong.

[CoMpOuNd]

maaan 1080 snowboarding was EXTREME son. That shit was some crazy shit. That and goldeneye. I'm glad I had them both for N64 at one point.

P.S, These arent reviews, these are just stupid words put together about games. Kinda like what I said up there ^^^
That is all.



breakdance?
word.

FF7 is pretty boring though. It's not a master piece. The game itself did only one thing well. It brought RPG's to the mainstream.

Thats fine, I just thought most people would like to see what the reviewer looks like so they can attach their hate to a face, lol. Most of the reviews are pretty horrible

[PsychoMistress]

LOL @ Chrono Trigger. Not a bad job though, actually.

I really don't care how bad the commentary is. . .Just glad that there are actually video reviews of some old ass games that mainstream really doesn't give a fuck about.

[arcticninja]

they trashed final fantasy tactics....

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and dear lord.....the alpha 2 review.....

THE HORROR......THE HORROR!!!!!!


I can't say this about many people, I seriously want to fishhook that guy.

"Sakura who is a highschool girl on a mission..."


AWW Shit!We're fucked.Make sure you keep a rubber on your person at all time,or you are doomed

[Mixah]

Castlevania SotN = greatest game ever...

</Castlevania Fanboyism>

[Kuenai]

I actually did like BoF3 over FFVII, but then again, I loved Lunar and Lunar 2. I just didn't go for the clichéd story and mid-level 3d graphics. There were better not long at all soon after, and the fight system just didn't grab me. Stupid Mime/angermax combo. If it had a system more akin to Grandia at the time, I'd be in love.

Wow...just, wow. Morons.

It almost sounds like they think the movie came first before the games!
