| 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  A shining star for the Sega Genesis, = Fun: This review is from: Ristar (Video Game) Ristar is a 2D platformer created by the Sonic Team, more well known for the Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games. Because Ristar wasn't released until 1995, when the Genesis was finally starting to be replaced by newer systems like the Playstation, it ended up being an overlooked game that few people played. Unfortunately, it was their loss.That's because Ristar is a well-made and unique gaming experience that represents the best that the Genesis had to offer. Although Ristar follows the "themed zone" style of gameplay found in the Sonic games, Ristar differs in that it is a slow paced and technical platformer with no emphasis on speed. This gives the player the opportunity to use Ristar's main attack to the fullest--his long, stretchy arms that can grab in any of the 8 standard directions.

Though a very lost and obscure son of the Sega generation, Ristar is a true jewel for those who happen to stumble on it. Colorful gameplay, catchy music, and challenging levels make it fun and engaging and something you'll want to beat through at least more than once.Yes, it's old. And, in my book, it still stacks up against the next-gen console games of the day. Bottom line: Play it. You won't regret it. |
