Micol-Rankin-Games's game Reviews on Newgrounds

Add more..........

You have a very inventive game on your hands, but you really have to take a look at your gameplay and SOUNDS......MUST.......ADD.....SOUNDS! Music sets the landscape for any game. You have to take you idea and mold it into a great experience. I like basically what you have so far yet, there is really a long way to go before this title is truly spectacular. Don't think that you are making flash games........think you are making an SNES game.........that YOU would want to play!

HOLY SICK!!!!

You can check all my reviews if you want to and see how critical I am on games..........BUT THIS IS A PIECE OF ART! Holy Cow, those animations, and the WONDERFUL COMBO SYSTEM!!!! Colorful style and sound that could make Sagat blush (or pissed!) Either way this is a true NG quality piece that I need more time with to truly enjoy,but all in all this is outstanding work. This game is very fresh and unique and definately kicks the crap out of any fighter I've seen on NG! Make more, bigger, and you'll have a fan for life. Hey Try out my game:
"Golden Glove Boxing" (use the search engine)! Once again hell of a Job!

Good.....but not good enough........

When I play this game I get this tingling sensation that you have alot of Flash skills but you aren't using them! This game has excellent potential,with the whole upgrading you strength,dexterity, things like that show great innovation and is exactly what I would want to see here on NG. However, it would seem that with all the great ideas came shoddy GUI, low graphical quality, and pretty boring sounds. You've got the know how to make a damn good game, you just haven't done it here. Next time, execute on EVERY level of the game. Decent enough, but I can see better coming from you.

if strategy is your bag........

I absolutely dispise strategy games! But, this piece is very well executed. I'm judging you based more on the flash expertise on hand more so than the game itself. The options are RIDICULOUSLY HUGE! That is why this is a computer game. I'm more of a console fan, but this game would fit in to anybody's collection of Warcraft 3's and Command and Conquer's! Great graphics, sound to boot, it's just that I don't like strategy games so this is not for me.....but for what it is, this is THE DEFINATIVE Strategy game on ANY flash site!

Like scrabble.......only..........not!

So you made a pretty decent word guessing game.....that is all well and good, but maybe some sort of originality could of been included in this project. Great Sound, Awesome graphics, the worst character ever(next to jar jar), but a solid game. It's just that, with well over 20,000 games to choose from, and I'm sure 1,000 of those being word games, this game is the same ol' same. If ya want a word game, here's one. If you want a refreshing experience look elsewhere. Solid game however.

[Bruce Lee: Tower of Death]

BRUCE ALMIGHTY............

I love Bruce Lee as much as the next guy, but I couldn't recommend this game over many. Once I got to the army guy on the second floor, I don't know if some variable got stuck in the code or what but my punches and kicks didn't work. Fighting this tiny itty bitty guys (yes, I know it's like double dragon but it's not 1986 anymore) just dosen't feel that great. Good music however and solid controls (except for the freeze up I experienced). A tad too repetitive, but a decent flash take on a tired genre. Be a little more ambitious next time.

[Sinjid Battle Arena]

Why not MORE!!!!

Something is starting to get to me about games like THIS!! It is SOOOOOO GOOD OF A CONCEPT but it is never taken to it's full potential! This game should have a world map, I should see more than 1 room and experience epic sized battles. This could of been the Flash Final Fantasy like series everyone's been waiting for but NOOOO! I mean I loved everything about it like buying upgrades and the battle system (very FFVIII like)! It is the over all finished product should of been MUCH BETTER! Take advantage of the incredible system you have in place next time cause this could be a Classic!

Just another bad day at the office!

At first this game may seem like a meager "chainsaw stuff for no reason" kinda game. When actually it is a well coded (VERY WELL CODED) piece of action delivered in a fine flash wrapper! Great animation from choppin up couches to shooting a guy. Speaking of the shooting section......that was very well implemented. The gunfights stood out to me as very catchy and fun because you have to time shooting back just right. There's a reason this game is so high up in NG! More gameplay and this could be a console game 10 times better than Alien Homonid!

[SOULMECH - Shinobu]

wax on.............wax off...............

I've played this many times before on various different sites and this is my first chance to finally review this title. It's semi reminecent of the old "double dragon/streets of rage" days when you had to defeat all the enemies in each particular section to move on. That gameplay was good back in the day.........seems a little drab now however. Yet, the cool ninja slices and super moves make up for that. Who loves cuttin up ninja dogs.......I DO!!! I firmly believe that sound is ESSENTIAL to any game and your game does not deliver in this department. Graphically, Those trace bitmaps look a little watered down but not too bad. The games got style, a cool storyline, and some good moves to boot. Maybe more can be done in a sequel. Nick Work though!

[Alien Hominid]

....THIS AIN'T NO E.T.!!!!

Hey, Contra called and said they want there game back! Okay, so it is worth its console status I admit!. The animation in this game.........FLAWLESS!! The controls in this game
FLAWLESS! The style of the graphics.........FLAWLESS!!! I can only imagine what you would do with a powerful PS2 with a 2D game of this magnitude. Or for that matter a powerful XBox(please???). It's not necessarily the best flash game ever(War on Terrorism II anyone) but this is one of those titles that is infectiously addictive and wonderful to play. Excellent!
