Retro Review: Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts
Sure it's October 19, 2009 and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts was released almost 18 years ago, but it's never too late for a review! Besides, it's almost Halloween. Website Lens of Truth recently decided to review this Capcom classic, giving it an 8.5 out of 10 in spite of its insane difficulty level:
Capcom took full advantage of the Super NES and created the best looking and sounding Ghouls' N Ghosts game in all the land. There are shifting landscapes, tidal waves, avalanches, and enough screen rotation and transparency to keep any 2D fan happy. Both sections of the Ghost Ship and snow stages are some of my favorite stages in Super GnG, though all seven are great.
I do agree with them, however, that it totally bites that you can't shoot up or down whilst jumping anymore. It's still a blast (and challenge) to play. Don't forget that the game is currently available on the Wii's Virtual Console and the PSP (as part of Capcom Classics Reloaded, available for download on the PSN).
